Yesterday the GSPCA were called out to four baby Ferrets that were spotted in the middle of the road at Camp du Roi.
The Ferrets after being rescued are now safe and sound at the GSPCA in St Andrews.
Kiperling, Nancy, Albert and Wendy are having to be part hand fed by Shelter staff and volunteers due to their young age of only 5 to 6 weeks.
The GSPCA has seen a huge increase in Ferrets this year and we have already had a number of stray youngsters through 2013.
The GSPCA would like to thank everyone that turned out for the Reservoir Sponsored Dog Walk yesterday with Sidney's Events.
Nearly 30 dogs and walkers arrived at Rue des Anvilles car park to walk the 3 miles of pathes around the Reservoir.
Some in fancy dress and all with smiles, the group of walkers with tiny dogs like Jack Russels and Pugs to German Shepherds and Red Setters all had a lovely walk, with beautiful scenery, enjoying each others company whilst raising funds to help animals in Guernsey.
The GSPCA is currently inundated with animals in need of new homes.
If anyone is looking for a new pet then many of them can be seen on our website www.gspca.org.gg/animals and we are open for viewing for those interested in adopting 11am to 4pm Monday to Saturday.
With only days until Sunday 22nd September and the Reservoir Dogs Sponsored Dog Walk have you got your shades at the ready?
Fear not the first 10 walkers to arrive will get a free pair of sunglasses which have been donated.
Meeting in Reservoir Rue Des Annevilles Car Park at 10am and finishing in Reservoir Rue A L’Or Car Park the walk around the Reservoir will have a Reservoir theme and we'd love to see you and your dog(s) all kitted out to make for a fun Sunday morning.

Not got a dog or can't bring it down on the 15th September or you have other pets at home then this is your chance to take part in a show without the need to bring them along.
We are asking pet owners to take pictures of their pets and for 50p per entry per class you can enter your cat, rabbit, horse, donkey, stick insect, tortoise, whatever it may be into a virtual pet show..
On the 14th and 15th August the GSPCA were lucky enough to have help from KPMG staff.
In two groups the staff helped on site at the Animal Shelter in St Andrews and with the Stall at the West Show.
From cleaning out the Animals to dressing up as Giant Animals at the West Show the team from KPMG helped with all matters of tasks.
This year we have seen 13 stray tortoise and currently we have 2 at the Shelter.
All 11 that came in earlier in the year are back with their owners but Ridley as he's been named above by Shelter staff and Fabian below both came in last week.
Ridley was found in the Camp du Roi area and Fabian was found at L'Ancresse.
Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager said 'This year we have seen more stray Tortoise than ever before.'
'If anyone has lost any pet we always urge them to report it at the Shelter as we see anywhere between 50 and sometimes over 100 stray animals every month.'
