PLEASE keep your dogs under control when around livestock

Submitted by Steve on 16:17, 7th Apr, 2025 | 0

Every day the GSPCA help lost and stray animals and almost daily farm animals.

Some of these are due to dogs being walked worrying the herd or individual animals which can result in them being hurt or escaping.

With the larger farm animals we are called out to help everything from escaped horses to sheep in the road, cows in gardens to pigs out and about and many more.

A Rabbit is not just for Easter

Submitted by Steve on 16:02, 28th Mar, 2025 | 0

Every year as the weather warms and Easter arrives some parents think of rabbits as an a pet for their child.

The GSPCA this Easter want to send the message that a rabbit isn't just for Easter!!!

We have seen incredible numbers of rabbits needing help in recent years with more rabbits needing new homes than dogs or cats.

Many rabbits are bought on impulse and are housed in small hutches at the end of the garden with no exercise and the child often forgets the poor pet that is left for the parents to care for.

The GSPCA 5 years on from the pandemic

Submitted by Steve on 18:02, 27th Mar, 2025 | 0

In March 2020 the world changed to a place no-one envisaged.

On the 10th March 2020 the GSPCA moved early when we ceased all non essential services such as events, training courses and anything that could involve bringing people together to lower any risk of the spread of covid-19.

This of course caused huge issues in raising funds to rehoming animals and presented many challenges, but we had to carry out our essential 24/7 services and care for the many animals at the GSPCA.
