GSPCA

On the 7th June the GSPCA took a stall down to join the many others celebrating the first Arts Seafront Sunday.

We would like to thank the organisors, the volunteers and all that supported our fun games stall outside Marks and Spencers.

We raised a fantastic £800 and had a huge amount of fun meeting both local supporters and the many visitors.

Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager said "A huge thank you to the Arts team, our volunteers and all that supported us on the 7th June, we had a great day and raised over £800 which will help animals in Guernsey."

First thing this morning we are aware that Jessie the stray beagle was around the west coast and feeding next to our dog trap.

We have just received a report that may indicate that she is back in St Andrews, but we are appealing if you do see her to please call 257261.

We are aware that Jessie has been chased by members of public trying to catch her which we are asking people not to do as this will scare her from the area she is happy in and may have resulted in her moving inland.

On Sunday 28th June 2015 at the Royal British legion in L'Islet a charity bingo and raffle is being held in aid of the GSPCA.

Tickets are on sale for £1 each at the GSPCA and to buy yours please call 01481 257261 or pop into the Shelter in St Andrews or call Maureen on 07911 728178.

Doors open at 4pm and eyes down at 6pm.

We are hugely grateful to those involved and inviting us to be part of this wonderful event and would love to fill the hall which often seats up to 300 players.

Jessie continues to remain along the west coast and we are very thankful for all of the reports.

Her confidence is building once again around the trap and we are hoping that she will continue to do so.

We would like to highlight she is very timid and nervous and please DO NOT chase or follow her as it is likely to scare her from the area she is happy in.

Here is the update from Friday -

We are pleased to report that despite Jessie being let out of the trap on Wednesday morning she has remained along the west coast with reports, sightings and GSPCA team members tracking her up until late last night.

As at 11am we have had two reports confirming her location very near the trap, and GSPCA team members monitored her last night feeding next to it although extremely wary and unsure.

Today it is World Ugliest Dog Day and what a lovely lad we have in need of a home.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and we think this is certainly the case with this young staffie.

Every year the GSPCA are called out and receive stray dogs and cats during periods of fireworks that have either escaped or run off due to being scared by the loud bangs they make.

Tomorrow as part of the Harbour Carnival celebrations where we will be with a GSPCA fun games stall, they have planned at 9.45pm along the seafront a firework display. Also in Herm on Saturday at around 10.30pm there is also a firework display planned.

During the early hours of this morning Jessie the stray beagle cross took the bait and was caught in the GSPCA dog trap along the west coast of Guernsey.

The team at the GSPCA have been working since the 28th April to capture and reunite this very nervous rescue dog with her owners.

We continue to monitor Jessie the stray beagle cross who is becoming more confident around our trap although still extremely nervous of people.

GSPCA staff and volunteers continue to monitor her movements, feeding and drinking habits and hope to soon be close to catching her for her owners.

Even today we are aware of where she is and team members have been monitoring her.

We are aware that yesterday she moved inland around the Oatlands area, but she is now back on the west coast.

National Microchipping Month is a campaign that encourages and promotes responsible pet ownership through microchipping as the preferred method of permanent identification. Throughout the month of June the GSPCA will be supporting this event by offering reduced priced microchipping for only £3.99 for dogs, cats and rabbits (normal price at the GSPCA £4.99).
