Agria present the GSPCA with Luna the GSPCA winning rabbit with a £1000 - thanks to all that voted in the Rescue a Rescue competition and she still in need of a home

Alex Soulsby GSPCA Team Member from the Small Animal Department said “We are thrilled to be able to share that Luna is one of the winners in the #RescueARescue campaign!”

“Thank you so much to everyone that voted for her! .”

Agria Pet Insurance posted recently ‘ We are delighted to announce the first six winners of our Rescue A Rescue Campaign.  

We look forward to following the journeys of the final 12 whose animal charities have been awarded £1,000.

Well done to all those involved.

Fur and Feathers Animal Sanctuary, Cheshire Sighthound Rescue, Band of Rescuers, Hope Rescue, GSPCA, Guernsey SPCA ‘

Ollie Bourgaize GSPCA team member who works closely caring for the bunnies in our care said “Our special bunny Luna was nominated in the Agria Pet Insurance #RescueARescue campaign and became a finalist and we are delighted that she has won thanks to all that voted!”

“Luna is a 6 year old rabbit who has been at the shelter for nearly 2 years now!”

“She came in after she unfortunately lost her owner, and despite having some interest, she hasn't found her forever home yet.”

“She's full of personality, and does enjoy flopping over to relax, but when she's out of her pen she's full of energy and likes to do little old lady binkies!”

“We're so glad she was chosen and won, as we would love to finally find her a perfect forever home!”

Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager said “It was wonderful news to hear the Luna the bunny not only became a finalist in the Agria Rescue a Rescue, but thanks to all that voted has won the GSPCA an amazing £1000 from Agria Pet Insurance.”

“She was the only rabbit in the 12 finalists and only pet representing the Channel Islands being selected from so many animals from so many charities across the British Isles.”

“Agria have supported the GSPCA in many ways over the years from Olivia the loggerhead turtle to sponsoring an International Special Recognition Animal Welfare Award we won at the Ceva Animal Welfare Awards in 2017.”

“Last Monday staff Karen and Janet popped over to Guernsey to meet with Clegg Gifford and make a special visit to the GSPCA and meet Luna.”

“They loved their visit and really loved meeting Luna and will be featuring her story as we try to find her a home on the social media channels.”

“This year Agria partnered with Clegg Gifford in the Channel Islands to provide pet insurance.”

“Pet insurance is so important in these challenging times of rising costs and expensive vet bills.”

“There are many options out there to choose from.”

“We do not recommend any single pet insurance but we do encourage when looking at the options you ensure it is the best policy for you and your pet and it is always worth asking if they support a local animal welfare organisation as many can provide a code to donate but to the animal welfare charity in your area.”

“Clegg Gifford and Agria if you do mention GSPCA will donate to our 24/7 work so if you do choose this or any please do ask if they support an animal charity as part of their corporate social responsibility.”

Agria have also said on their website ‘Agria Pet Insurance has partnered with Clegg Gifford Channel Islands

Agria has been working hard in recent months to improve its offering to customers based in the Bailiwick of Guernsey, and following a thorough selection process, has recently partnered with Clegg Gifford Channel Islands, a local insurance broker with over 25 years of experience providing insurance to Guernsey residents.

We do not doubt that partnering with such an experienced local insurance broker will result in an enhanced and more dedicated service for our Guernsey-based customers.

Clegg Gifford Channel Islands will administer your pet insurance policy. Please be assured that this does not affect your insurance coverage for your pet. Your vet fee claims will also continue to be handled by the experienced Agria Claims Team in Aylesbury.

Contact Clegg Gifford 01481 728987.’

PLEASE NOTE - The GSPCA does not promote any specific Pet Insurance but whenever choosing a policy please do ask if there is any way they support a local animal rescue and ensure you check the policy is the best for you and your animal(s)

Steve continues “We now rehome more rabbits than we do dogs and cats each year and we have so many in need of a home.”

“Sadly we also see more cruelty and poor care of bunnies than other species and have had cases of more than 60 come into our care from one home.”

“If you are interested in adopting a bunny or any species from the GSPCA, to register your interest and complete an online form please go to https://service.sheltermanager.com/asmservice?account=gspca&method=online_form_html&formid=23 .”
