At the end of 2015 beginning of 2016 Seb Goman joined the team at the GSPCA to help primarily on kennels but has been learning to work and care for the animals in the many other departments. Seb also helps to ensure we have 24/7 cover at the Shelter and has become a fantastic member of the team with her caring and helpful nature.
In April 2016 Ashleigh Le Page joined the team and has also been learning the many departments at the GSPCA working primarily caring for the cats but also learning to care for the 300+ animals at the GSPCA.
After 13 years at the GSPCA the team waved Inez Rawcliffe a fond farewell into her retirement on Monday.
Inez who has primarily worked in the Boarding Cat Department has helped all around the GSPCA and has been a fantastic member of the team.
Inez has worked 3 mornings on 3 off opposite Collette Pattimore and has always been a caring and wonderful GSPCA Animal Care Assistant and will be sorely missed.
Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager said "Inez has been a real rock for us here at the GSPCA always reliable, caring and hard working and we will all miss her greatly."
Today is a very sad day at the GSPCA as one of our longest serving staff heads off for pastures new.
Tony Gallie who has worked at the GSPCA for nearly 10 years has been a fantastic team member and excellent worker whilst he has been with us and will be missed by all of the team.
Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager said "It may be New Years Eve but tomorrow Tony will be looking to a new year with a new role and we will all miss him as he has been an amazing team member here at the GSPCA."
Today family, friends and the GSPCA team attended a celebration for the life of Richard Courtenay Chandler who passed peacefully on Thursday 1st October 2015 aged 68 and took place at Le Foulon Chapel.
In an emotional service led by Nikki Attwoll for a wonderful and caring man the following loving words were spoken in his memory by the GSPCA Manager -
"Today we remember a much loved family member, a friend and someone that was very dear to the team at the GSPCA
It is with a very sad heart the GSPCA bring this message of the loss of one of our team.
One of the senior and longest standing members of staff at the GSPCA 'Richard Chandler' passed away recently and has left the team at the Shelter deeply saddened.
Richard was a wonderful man, who passionately cared for the Shelter and the team at the GSPCA and he will be sorely missed by all.
Today was Annie Janes last day at the GSPCA and it was rather emotional for her after 3 1/2 years at the Shelter in St Andrews.
Annie joined the team in 2011 as an Animal Care Assistant, although she has worked on all departments including the reception desk, ambulance and even assisting with welfare work.
One of the most memorable last year for Annie was when she removed a dog from a hot car on a sunny day in St Peter Port with the police.
Another memorable moment was when she helped rescue Hanois the grey seal pup at Pleinmont at the start of 2013.
