The GSPCA would like to announce that we have a new shower for the dogs at the Shelter.
Thanks to a small contribution from the Pedigree Adoption Drive earlier this year and local businesses supporting the Shelter with the supplies, staff at the GSPCA have constructed a lovely new shower where both the dogs in for boarding and those looking for new homes can be pampered and washed.

The GSPCA is currently planning to approach various Pet Shops throughout the Island to see if working together could better the welfare of the animals sold in Pet Shops and help with general concerns from the public. The welfare of animals within Pet Shops has always been a concern at the GSPCA and so the opportunity to work along side a responsible Pet Shops is a fantastic opportunity.

The GSPCA is asking for your help for this very friendly poorly cat.
Roger came into the Shelter as a very elderly sick stray earlier this month. When he arrived he had multiple health problems and needed to be rushed to the vets where he was placed on a drip and under intensive care for some time.
The vets are now recommending he has a number of tests and an operation before the Animal Shelter can find him a good home.

Every Autumn the shores of the Bailiwick see Grey Seal pups being born and the GSPCA are issuing advice today on what to do especially with the rough weather that is due.
If anyone see's a pup with or without a mum we really do appreciate a call so that we are aware of its location and condition but here is some advice.
A healthy pup looks like a big, stuffed maggot without a neck. However, a thin pup looks sleek (but not bony) and has a visible neck, like a healthy dog.
