Guernsey

The GSPCA would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to Jo and all of the wonderful staff at the Channel Islands Co-operative Longstore branch for their incredible efforts in raising much-needed funds to support our work with animals across Guernsey as well as all the customers.

The GSPCA is thrilled to be part of the South Show in St Martins this Friday 8th and Saturday 9th August, and we’re calling on our amazing community to help make it a success!

Where We’ll Be

Last week the GSPCA had a visit from two young ladies called Jasmine and Robyn.

At only 11 years old the kind hearted supporters of the GSPCA decided to do something special to help raise funds for the 24/7 work that goes on and the BIG BUILD.

Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager said “At the GSPCA we have to say a very special thank you to two 11 year old girls called Jasmine and Robyn.”

Today was a momentous and emotional day for the GSPCA as the last two rescued grey seal pups, Swish and Wide Awake, were returned to the sea at Rocqaine Bay in Torteval following four months of intensive rehabilitation.

Nominations close Monday 4th August

The GSPCA is calling on islanders to show their support by nominating the charity and its dedicated team of staff and volunteers in the Pride of Guernsey Awards 2025 before nominations close on Sunday 4th August.

With Guernsey experiencing a spell of hot and dry weather, the GSPCA is urging islanders to lend a helping hand to local wildlife by putting out clean, fresh water for hedgehogs, birds, and other wild animals.

The lack of rainfall and soaring temperatures can make it extremely difficult for wildlife to find the water they need to survive. Small animals such as hedgehogs are particularly vulnerable during dry spells, as their usual water sources evaporate or dry up completely. Birds, too, can struggle to stay hydrated, especially fledglings and nesting adults.

The GSPCA is excited to announce the launch of our new online boarding booking system to make it easier than ever for pet owners to secure a place for their furry friends at our animal shelter in St Andrews, Guernsey.

Pet owners whose animals have previously boarded with the GSPCA can now book their pets in online by visiting:

The GSPCA was delighted to welcome Pam Aubert, the newly appointed CEO of the Jersey Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (JSPCA), on her first official visit to the GSPCA in Guernsey on Saturday 19th July.

The GSPCA would like to extend a huge thank you to everyone who volunteered their time and donated during our Flag Day at the Friquet Garden Centre on Saturday 26th July. Thanks to your incredible support, we raised £474 to help the many animals in our care.

From cheerful volunteers with collecting buckets to generous shoppers stopping by for a chat and a donation, the day was filled with community spirit and kindness. Every pound raised helps feed, shelter, and care for animals in need across Guernsey.

The GSPCA would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to the organisers of the Torteval Scarecrow Festival for once again welcoming our team to take part in this wonderfully creative and much-loved community event.

Although we didn’t take home the top prize this year, we had a fantastic time creating our scarecrow ‘Fin- tastic friend from the GSP-Sea-A’ and being part of the fun. The festival is always a highlight in the summer calendar, bringing people together through laughter, imagination, and community spirit — and we’re honoured to be a part of it.
