Guernsey

Earlier this year the GSPCA Manager Steve Byrne celebrated his 40th year and helped raise funds for the GSPCA instead of cards and gifts.

Steve at the time decided that he had put on a little weight in recent years so made the decision to get fit and run the Guernsey Dairy Milk Run Half Marathon.

On Sunday 16th June please pop along to Saumarez Park to see the GSPCA stall supporting the Annual Classic Vehicle Show Public hosted by Guernsey Classic Vehicle Club LBG.

We had a great time last year and we are delighted once again to be able to attend this wonderful event and will have a stall raising funds for the many animals in our care at the GSPCA.

The day starts at 11am and runs all the way through until 5pm.

Tickets are on sale for Sidney’s Sponsored Events BIG night at Beau Sejour on Friday 26th July featuring UK band Electric Dreams.

For a fantastic night of 80s music make sure you book your tickets early by visiting the Beau Sejour website – https://www.guernseytickets.gg/  

All proceeds to GSPCA & CLIC Sargent.

Once again the GSPCA are hugely grateful to Corinne and the wonder Sidney Sponsored Event team and we hope to see you there.

This is an 18 and over event only

All around Guernsey each year businesses and offices have had their 4 legged friends come to work and this ear Bring Your Dog To Work Day takes places on Friday 21^st June.

Having a dog in the room can make human colleagues more cooperative, reduce stress, increase job satisfaction and productivity.

When adopting a dog or any animal from the GSPCA we often ask how many hours potential owners may be at work.  Perhaps the question should actually be - are you able to take your dog to work?

Tonight we have our sixth volunteer induction evening of 2019 and its #VolunteersWeek

Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager said  “So far this year we have inducted 66 new volunteers through the induction evenings.”

"Last year through the volunteer inductions we greeted and trained 189 volunteers not to mention 100's more through other placements, voluntourists and groups."

“This week is #VolunteersWeek and tonight we have our sixth induction evening of 2019.”

With the sunny hot weather due today the GSPCA are calling everyone to be mindful of your pets.

Many of us love to enjoy the sunny warm weather but we are urging pet owners to be mindful of their animals.

Don't leave your dog alone in a car.

Earlier this week a kestrel was rescued in St Martins near Magnoila Tree Café.

The very poorly bird was barely moving with her head tucked under her wing which was hanging low covered in an oily substance.

The GSPCA rushed her to Isabelle Vets who on x-raying discovered a break as well as needing specialised bathing.

After an incredibly busy Animal Welfare Seafront Sunday and the first Seafront Sunday of the season last week the GSPCA are back out this weekend joining the Eat, Drink and Be Local Seafront Sunday.

That’s right once again we are delighted to say that you will be able to see the GSPCA at every Seafront Sunday this year.

We will have our fun stall with a full range of tombolas, games and GSPCA goods and we are very much looking forward being part of this fantastic event.

On Saturday 25^th May a white and black cat was hit by a car and rushed to the vets.

Amballes as the cat has been named was rescued by the GSPCA Warden on Les Amballes in St Peter Port and sadly has no chip or owner come forward.

The cat has been at the vets since Saturday and requires a huge amount of surgery to survive.

You can donate to her much needed operation by visiting –

On Sunday the GSPCA ran and organised the 8^th Animal Welfare Seafront Sunday and what an incredible day it was.

With over 100 stalls, displays, charities, activities and 100s of animals there was a huge amount to do and see celebrating animals in Guernsey.

There were many new attractions and stalls from Crown and Anchor to peddle boats, displays on the problems with plastics and biodiversity, prosseco and Wheedons Gin to Paws for Support and Wag.
