All this week two students from St Sampsons High School have been helping out at the GSPCA.

Grace Juggins and Lucy Hockey have been helping care for the 350 animals at the Shelter and learning about the work of the GSPCA.

Both have been a fantastic help and we thought we needed to make a special mention as they have worked so well and we have enjoyed their company as both have been extremely polite, hard working and very interested in the many areas of the Shelter.

UPDATE - Olivia the turtle's traveling box is coming together - would you like to donate to her travel box, care and flight

Submitted by Steve on 12:15, 13th Jul, 2016 | 0

Today GSPCA team members are putting together a travel box to meet IATA regulations for Olivia the loggerhead turtle as flight plans are finalised.

Having spoken to countless contacts and working with the wonderful vets and team at Petair we are hopeful to find transport and a route at a cost less than £12,500 than previously quoted which may well be with less time in the air for Olivia.

GSPCA Dog Fouling Facts & Survey in Guernsey

Submitted by Steve on 09:47, 13th Jul, 2016 | 0

One of the main causes of irritation to everyone – including many dog owners – is fouling in public places. Everyone has to share the same recreational space and there is nothing worse than having to constantly look for dog poo to prevent you or your children stepping or even falling into it.

Currently the GSPCA are in the care of over 30 tropical fish in established tanks looking for homes.

The three tanks have a variety of species all of which  have lived together for some time and the Shelter would like to find homes for the full set ups as well as the fish as groups in the tanks as not to upset them.

The GSPCA often help a variety of species and although it is rare for our services to be called upon to help tropical fish we always do whatever we can.
