Today is World Snake Day a day to celebrate our legless reptile friends.
Every year the GSPCA helps snakes of various sizes and breeds and we currently have Kellogg the corn snake who has been with us for 18 days.
Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager said “Today is World Snake Day and did you know there are no snakes indigenous to Guernsey the closest thing we have is the legless lizard which is the slow worm.”
“We do however have many owners of pet snakes and 18 days later we continue to appeal for information on anyone that have lost a corn snake near Vale Road.”

With hot weather the GSPCA always receives calls and reports from the public that have seen dogs locked in cars, dogs being walked on hot pavements, animals in direct sunlight and we want to remind all pet owners of the real dangers to their pets.
With the warm weather and direct sunlight, dogs and other animals whether in cars or their pens are potentially in a situation where you could kill your pet if it is left, regardless of the situation.

Yesterday the GSPCA had the privilege of showing some of the Doctor and Nursing staff from the Guernsey A&E Department around the facilities of the Animal Shelter.
Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager greeted the 10 visitors just after lunch on what was a lovely sunny afternoon.
We have all been in awe of our Health Service, especially in the last year and a half and what was even more caring of them was last Friday they held a cake sale and raised an awesome £267.92 to help the many animals and work of the GSPCA.

The GSPCA are hugely grateful to the amazing team at Investec Bank Offshore.
Their staff have given hundreds of hours to help out at the GSPCA since 2019.
In that time they have helped in so many incredible ways from helping care for animals to helping with grounds work, painting to helping sort donations.
They also helped last year sponsor an AED machine and most recently helped with a donation that enabled us to purchase a new Electric Animal Ambulance which some of their team got to see last month when they volunteered.

With only 2 months to go, the GSPCA are busy preparing for the tenth Animal Welfare Seafront Sunday.
Despite the restrictions last year we saw over 100 stalls at our biggest event of the year and 2021 is looking to once again be a bumper year.
We would be delighted if any stalls or buskers would like to join us to help celebrate animals in Guernsey.
