With all of the plans coming together for the GSPCA Animal Welfare Seafront Sunday we are pleased to announce that Island FM will be joining us with Daniel the Donkey and the Cherry Godfrey Cash Shower.

The GSPCA would also like to say a huge thank you to D W Arundell for all of their support in advertising and supporting our BIGGEST event of the year celebrating animals in Guernsey.

With a huge variety of stalls and things to do and see we are extremely excited to see everyone this Sunday along the sea front in St Peter Port.

On Tuesday we held our sixth volunteer induction of 2017 at the GSPCA and saw a wonderful 9 new helpers keen to learn how they can get involved with us here at the Animal Shelter adding to the 89 inducted this year taking this years inducted volunteers to a total of 98 not including others that have helped from businesses, groups and other organisations.

It's only days away until the GSPCA Animal Welfare Seafront Sunday and the team and those supporting are busy getting ready for the BIG day.

We are over joyed to announce once again that Island Mums are supporting our day with a wonderful stall with lots to do for the children.

Not only will they be running the very popular chalk drawing there is a fun childrens fancy dress competition.

Last weekend the GSPCA hosted a special birthday tour for one lucky young man called Ollie.

GSPCA staff member Beckie Smith gave a special tour and all had a wonderful behind the scenes tour of the GSPCA and the lucky birthday boy got to get up and close with a few of the animals in our care.

After the tour the group enjoyed a party on site at the GSPCA and all received a pack of goodies and a thank you certificate for visiting.

Recently a young cat called Katie went to her forever home.

Christina Sauvarin new owner sent a message about Katie and said "We adopted Katie yesterday who we have now called Jessie."

"She has settled in extremely quickly and both Marc and I were delighted that she came for lots of cuddles on day one."

"She is still discovering her new home but has found several cosy spots to chill out."

"We absolutely love Jessie and would like to thank you and the whole team."

Earlier this month the GSPCA hosted a special birthday tour for one lucky young lady.

GSPCA staff Beckie Smith gave a special tour to a young lady called Meg and her friends who was celebrating her 7th birthday.

All had a wonderful behind the scenes tour of the GSPCA and the lucky birthday girl got to get up and close with a few of the animals in our care.

With only 5 days to go don't forget as part of the Animal Welfare Seafront Sunday there will be a fun dog show.

During the school breaks we run a series of guided tours at the GSPCA and we have now planned for 2017 with some special tours for the children. You can also book a tour for a special event or birthday. For details on special tours please see below.

This is your opportunity to visit behind the scenes at our Animal Shelter in St Andrews and see the work being carried out for the new build.

We are arranging the guided tours on a series of dates at 2pm with the next this May half term.  

At the GSPCA we are normally appealing for homes for animals, but we are currently appealing for your unwanted soft toys.

The cuddly toys we are appealing for will found good homes as prizes on some of our games to help raise funds for the Shelter such as our upcoming Animal Welfare Seafront Sunday.

If you have any unwanted soft toys then please pop them up to the Shelter or if you need a vehicle to pick up quite a few then please let us know and we can arrange collection.

In the middle of Winter on the 4^th January a very thin unwell hedgehog was rescued in the grounds at Government House.

The poorly hedgehog which was half his ideal body weight would have likely perished if he hadn’t have been rescued and brought into the GSPCA to care for over the last few months.

The hedgehog which has been called ‘Governor’ has made huge improvements and as he has now reached a healthy release weight.
