At the GSPCA with 200 to 300 animals in our care which do produce rather a lot of waste and we are continually working to improve and maintain our facilities.
Currently we are replacing 5 of our very old buildings with our new multi purpose animal welfare building, but we continue to have to repair and maintain the site where the many animals are kept and the services to them.
On the weekend our sewage pump failed which serves the many buildings on site and we are currently appealing for funds to help us repair this essential service.
The pump will cost in excess of £2,000 and if you think you can help we would really appreciate it.
Anna Paint Senior Animal Care Assistant said "Many don't realise how much work goes on here at the GSPCA, the size of our site and all the facilities to care for the thousands of animals that come through our doors every year."
"On Friday the sewage pump failed and we haven't been able to fix it and have been informed we will have to replace it which will cost over £2,000."
"As you can imagine to care for all of the animals and birds at the Shelter we use a huge amount of water to clean and wash down which comes from our spring on site, but it does mean that our sewage pump works extremely hard 7 days a week."
"We would really appreciate any donations to help replace this much needed and essential service for the Shelter."
Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager said "We have been helping animals in Guernsey for 142 years and been at our current site since 1929."
"We are working on a 10 year redevelopment plan, but sadly we do face challenges such as when essential services fail like the sewage pump which has broken."
"Without these essential services we couldn't carry out the 24 hour 7 day a week service and help care for dogs like Tia that came in for a home to the 40 hedgehogs we currently have."
"If anyone can help towards our pump, care for the animals at the Shelter or even our new build we would really appreciate it."
