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.
On the 25th June the Furze Oven teamed up with Island FM to run the great Guernsey Bake Off.
Entries of cakes from around Guernsey were baked and entered into the competition which took place in St Martins.
The entries were short listed to 10 all of which were blind tasted by the judges Carolyn Le Maitre from Island FM, Quinn Hamon and Shaun McDonald from the Furze Oven and their new cake shop on the Pollet called Gâche.
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.
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.
This weekend the GSPCA Youtube account passed 100,000 views.
The GSPCA is very active on a number of social media sites and after a flurry of visits after Bonnie the seal pup was released recently as well as the 100's of videos uploaded we have just broke 100,000 views.
The GSPCA use youtube to find animals homes to share clips of the wildlife in our care as well as short videos from some of the many events we attend and run.
Last Thursday Sarah Creasey GSPCA Animal Welfare and Education Officer popped along to St Martins WI to talk about the work of the GSPCA.
With over 20 of their members present Sarah enjoyed a lovely afternoon talking about the 24/7 work of the Shelter and the 1000's of animals we help every year.
Sarah Creasey GSPCA Animal Welfare and Education Officer said "It was lovely to chat to St Martins WI group about the work we do at the GSPCA and they seemed to really enjoy it."
From all at the GSPCA we would like to thank Pushy Mums Buggy Workout (Guernsey).
The weekend before last the group of Mums held a very special sports day raising funds for Priaulx Premature Baby Foundation and the GSPCA.
Laurel Le Tocq from Pushy Mums Buggy Workout (Guernsey) said "The sun shone down on the first ever Pushy Mums Sports Day which took place last Saturday."
"The event raised £255 for charity."
