Submitted by Steve on 12:47, 9th Dec, 2014 | 0

This morning the GSPCA attended the Richmond end of Vazon beach and were faced with large quantities of a substance which could be very dangerous to dogs.

Yesterday the GSPCA sent out a warning regarding reports of possible palm oil being spotted along the coast.

GSPCA Manager Steve Byrne this morning collected a large carrier bag of the white waxy substance along the beach and spoke to a number of dog walkers on the beach.

We have been in touch with the Environment Department who have staff removing the substance from our beaches.

Blue the Gannet released back to the wild

Submitted by Steve on 16:30, 5th Dec, 2014 | 0

On the 15th October a young gannet was rescued from Grande Rocques that was extremely weak and very ill.

The bird had to be kept under a heat lamp and was placed on a series of treatments and medications.

Also the poor gannet found it extremely difficult to digest food, and required feeding assistance.

The bird was named 'Blue' and after 3 weeks of intensive care and a period of rehabilitation on the GSPCA pool's the gannet was fit enough to release last week.

Sadly the weather wasn't ideal so staff waited until Saturday 29th November.

Submitted by Steve on 16:33, 3rd Dec, 2014 | 0

On sale at the GSPCA reception between 9am and 5pm, Monday to Saturday we have a limited number of GSPCA Christmas cards on sale.

This year we have been contacted by a number of kind individuals who are not sending Christmas cards.  

Instead they are telling family and friends in place of cards they are making a donation to the GSPCA in their stead.

The GSPCA are hugely grateful to those very kind individuals who are thinking of the animals in our care this Christmas.
