A huge thanks from GSPCA to Pets at Home & Support Adoption for Pets & those that supported the Santa Paws Appeal
Last week GSPCA Manager Steve Byrne and the team had a lovely visit from Rory Thorington Store Manager and Nicole Prevel Store Colleague from Guernsey Pets at Home.
The visit was to have a tour of the Shelter and to see the many animals in our care and the work that is carried out 24/7 helping over 3000 animals every year.
As well as a visit Rory and Nicole had a wonderful gift for the many animals at the GSPCA.

Last month the GSPCA celebrated 145 years with our #GSPCApurpleWeek.
Many got involved and one very special, generous and kind school was Vale Primary who last week donated over 500 items from hay to animal feed to help the 500 animals in our care.
At the start of #GSPCAPurpleWeek GSPCA Manager Steve Byrne went to see the 500 pupils and talk to them about the work of the Shelter and this week three reception classes enjoyed guided tours at the GSPCA.

Isabelle Vets recently announced the winner of the Isabelle Vets Pet Hero competition which was Catrina the tabby cat, as voted for by the general public.
All of the nominated finalists were ‘Heros’ in their own right, with over five hundred people voting for their chosen hero in a closely-run competition. On a small Island such as Guernsey, this truly shows the kindness and enthusiasm of people, in taking the time to recognise the bravery of all of these stoic pets.
