During stormy and gale force weather the GSPCA often get calls to injured animals and wildlife that have been affected due to the high winds.

We are asking all pet owners and farmers to think of their animals that are kept outside or in out houses.  With the severe weather hutches and animal pens can easily be moved and damaged putting those animals kept outside at risk and in need of appropriate shelter.

Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager said ' We are battening down the hatches here at the Animal Shelter and are asking those that have pets and animals that live outdoors to ensure that they are secure and safe.' 'In high winds outdoor hutches can easily move and put the animals at risk.' 'These sorts of weather conditions always mean we have a number of injured wildlife but we want to ensure animal owners don't put their animals at risk.'

For more information, or if you find a sick or injured animal then contact the Shelter on 01481 257261
