With over 400 animals in our care and over 3000 through our doors each year there are many things we use and need 24/7 365 days a year and many Wish List ideas for the animals in our care on our Amazon Wish List.

There are many ways to support our work and every penny makes a huge difference during these difficult times.  There are a huge range of ways in which you can support our work and help us care for the animals at the GSPCA.

Currently at the GSPCA we are appealing for dog teats as we are running very low.

GSPCA helping cats, kittens and a dog from the Irish NW SPCA find new homes in Guernsey

Submitted by Steve on 13:29, 28th Apr, 2022 | 0

At the GSPCA we help 1000’s of animals every year, but we have seen a drop in numbers of dogs and cats needing our help find homes locally, although we do help them in many other ways.

In recent years we have been trying to help animals from UK and Irish SPCA animal shelters and Association of Dog and Cat Home members, but with the Covid Pandemic this has been very difficult.
