Dolphin Day

Submitted by Steve on 08:25, 14th Apr, 2015 | 0

Dolphin Day is celebrated throughout the world and in the grand scheme of things it is perhaps one of the most well-known unofficial holidays of the world.

Having gained steam in the 1990s and continuing into the present day, this holiday focuses on the worldwide plight of the dolphins. Considering how similar dolphins appear to be to ourselves, we may even call Dolphin Day one of the more “human” holidays that are celebrated.

Gatherings and awareness meetings take place in major cities across the globe. Some of largest venues include San Francisco, New York City and Tokyo.

Submitted by Steve on 21:38, 3rd Apr, 2015 | 0

This week over 70 children took part in some Easter fun at the Animal Shelter in St Andrews.

Children met the Easter Bunny and GSPCA Manager Steve Byrne before having a tour of many of the animals, especially the bunny rabbits.

As the groups were shown around they had a treasure hunt to complete whilst learning all about rabbits.

After the tour the groups arrived at the events room where after finding out the answers and receiving prizes they were issued with buckets for an Easter Egg Hunt.

GSPCA Cupcake Week from Monday 27th April

Submitted by Steve on 21:06, 3rd Apr, 2015 | 0

Monday 27th April to the 3rd May 2015 is the third GSPCA Cupcake Week here in Guernsey

Can you make/bake & sell cupcakes to raise money for the GSPCA?  By doing so you would be helping many injured and abandoned animals. 

Why not get baking, organise a cupcake sale or coffee morning, or if you're a business maybe sell some on the day and make a percentage to go the GSPCA.
