Entry to the Christmas Fayre is free and the GSPCA will join many local charities with a variety of gifts and festive games.

On our stall we will have GSPCA goods like hoodies to teddies, tombola games, pet supplies, pet stockings and much more.

We look forward seeing you there and thank the Round Table for organising this fantastic annual event.

We are always looking for volunteers to help at the Shelter in a variety of roles.   We currently have in excess of 600 volunteers that help in a whole host and range of ways with some helping 7 days a week to others who help once a year.

Over the last two Sundays we have run our cat and dog first aid courses.

Each course started just after 9.30am and involved learning about how to save a cat or a dogs life and hints and tips on what to do.

On Sunday the 9th after the cat course theory GSPCA Manager Steve Byrne took the participants over to the new multi purpose animal welfare building for a look around and some hands on with Gucci a lovely grey cat.

Yesterday during the training 'Eric' one of the Slovakian puppies made an appearance as a model and for some hands on in finding a heart beat.

Over the past few months the GSPCA team have been preparing and getting use to the new multi purpose animal welfare building.

It has already had a baptism of extraordinary use after 25 Slovakian puppies were isolated in its facilities when they were detained in August.

Over the past few weeks the GSPCA team especially Yvonne Chauvel, Helen Sharman, Anna Paint and Kim Marsh have been preparing sections for the BIG MOVE.

We are afraid to report that the event planned this Thursday has been cancelled at Le Friquet GardenCentre.

We have many other events upcoming and will be at many Christmans fetes and fayres.

If you would like us to attend your event please do let us know.

Yesterday the GSPCA held first ever Spooky Halloween Sponsored Fancy Dress Dog Walk at Saumarez Park.

The Spooky owners and dogs started arriving around 5pm and were greeted with a few gifts for the owners and some lovely treats for the pooches.

The walk started and finished at the Saumarez Park Tea Rooms and the group set off just after 5.30pm.  After what was a glorious day the sun quickly disappeared as the witches, ghouls, pumpkins and even a hot day set off around the park.

Last week during half term we ran a series of guided tours that proved so popular additional tours had to be added.

Every tour was a sell out and on Thursday and Friday due to demand we doubled up with over 40 attending each day.

The groups got to see Slovakian puppies to kittens, chicks to hoglets, tortoise to bunnies and much more.

During the school breaks we run a series of guided tours at the GSPCA and we have now planned for 2016 with some special tours for the children.
