Guernsey

Over the last month the GSPCA have been advertising the opportunity for Guernsey Election Candidates to visit the GSPCA to find out about the 24/7 work we carry out helping our community, animals and working with many of the States departments extremely closely.

Of the first three events this week open for Candidates to visit only one has attended so we set additional dates and delighted to announce last week 20 Candidates and current Deputies attended the GSPCA and this Wednesday a further 7 came along.

Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager said “Last month the GSPCA and Autism Guernsey were delighted to say that the Dolphin Discovery Trail treasure hunt app has gone live and since 100’s have been getting involved.”

“After lots of testing you can visit Turfhunt and if asked for a code use EADASD.”

Maximillian, a Madeiran wall lizard who hitched a lift in a suitcase from Madeira is now in his forever home.

Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager said “We are always looking for loving homes for animals from the many rabbits, ferrets, older cats and you will often see many home to homes on our social media, so if wanting to give an animal a home please do complete an online adoption form or pop in and say hello.”

“Maximillian who recently completed his quarantine after hitching a lift in a bag from Maderia we are delighted to report is now in a new home.”

The GSPCA were recently contacted by Alex Mauger with some wonderfully kind news -

‘Just as an update to say my daughter Chloe Mauger began her fund raising challenge yesterday to cycle 112 miles during June in aid of GSPCA. She entered the Rock to Rocque yesterday, her picture was in the paper today, so nearly 30 miles completed already and she has raised nearly £250 so far.

We have a just giving page and I have put some information on LinkedIn and we also update the progress on my Strava account.

Only two sleeps until the Saffery Rotary Walk.

The GSPCA on the 25^th May 2025 attended the EDABL Seafront Sunday and want to say thank you to all that helped and supported.

Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager said "We always have great fun at the Seafront Sundays and we had a great day at the EDABL Seafront Sunday on the 25^th May."

The GSPCA really could do so much without its amazing team of volunteers and supporters.

From the Committee to those that walk dogs, fund raisers to those that help with admin, gardeners to those helping with IT, the companies who send their staff to help to so many others the list goes on and on.

With the GSPCA providing 24/7 we couldn’t do so much without our amazing team.

In recent years with all the challenges our volunteers have really been on the frontline and especially our GSPCA Animal Ambulance Wardens and we cannot thank them enough.
