Once again the GSPCA and Guernsey Bereavement Service are teaming to provide a training session in Pet Bereavement for those working or volunteering in the animal care industry in the Bailiwick of Guernsey or anyone that is interested in coming along.

The aim of the evening is to educate the many volunteers and staff across the Bailiwick help those pet owners with the loss of their beloved pet.

Zoe Le Pelley from the Guernsey Bereavement Service will lead the talk on the following subjects:

The CEVA dedicated Welfare Awards website is now open for nominations - www.cevawelfareawards.com

Earlier this year GSPCA President and local vet John Knight won the Vet of the Year category and our very own Yvonne Chauvel the GSPCA Senior Animal Care Assistant was a finalist for the Charity Professional of the Year Award.

On Sunday the GSPCA held the fourth ever Animal Welfare Seafront Sunday in St Peter Port.

Each year since 2012 the team at the Animal Shelter work extremely hard to put on a day to celebrate animals in Guernsey.

Once again thousands of visitors and locals enjoyed what was a wonderful day packed with things to see and do.

Stall holders and the GSPCA team arrived during the early hours of Sunday to set up ready for the first event which was the fantastic Battle of Britain Parade which takes place along the seafront just after 940am.

This Sunday we are pleased to announce Daniel the Donkey from Island FM and Roary the Lion from Guernsey FC will be attending and taking part in the Giant Animal Mascot Race.

Joining them will be individuals from Crabby Jacks, KPMG, Travel Corporation, Greenman MCC, Sark Shipping and others and its not too late.

Giant Animal Mascot It's a Knock Out for the GSPCA 

Once again we will be holding a Giant Animal Mascot Race but this year there are a few twists.

With only 3 days to go the GSPCA are getting ready for our BIGGEST event of the year the Animal Welfare Seafront Sunday and just look who is coming.

Not only do we have Bernard over very own GSPCA Mascot but his friends Olaf and Dave the Minion are popping along to say hello to the crowds.

To judge the fun dog show 'Olaf' will take centre stage to see who has the waggiest tail to dog looking most like their owner.

Olaf and Dave popped by today and are looking forward seeing everyone this Sunday from 10am.

24 hours a day, 7 days a week staff and volunteers work around the clock at the GSPCA to ensure the animals are cared for and those in need can be rescued around Guernsey.

At present with the 25 Slovakian puppies and many other animals at the GSPCA we are continually appealing for animal feed and cleaning products.

One of the wonderful additions that has benefited many animals at the Shelter has been our Wish List which we have both on our website and a link to an Amazon Wish List.

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

We are pleased to announce once again we have a fantastic line up of live music to entertain you at this weekends Animal Welfare Seafront Sunday.

Thanks to Greenman MCC and L H Events for their support and help in providing and setting up the stage.  Also a huge thank you to the bands and singers coming along.

Once again we will be holding a childrens animal themed fancy dress competition at our Animal Welfare Seafront Sunday on the 13th September.

This Sunday is the biggest event of the year for the GSPCA.

The day is packed with events, stalls and more but for stall holders we are asking everyone to set up between 8am and 930am with all vehicles parked by 930am as there is the Battle of Britain parade who prepare at 9.40am and set off at 9.50am.

The parade will come from the Weighbridge Roundabout and will then line up outside the Town Church and Marks and Spencers for an inspection.

The parade will include many local cadet groups, The Royal British Legion Standards, the Guernsey Veterans and many others.
