Today is the first day that work has begun on reflooring and refurbishing 31 of our kennels.
The cost per kennel is around £1,450.00 and we must say a huge thanks to those that have donated so far and we would really appreciate any support or help to further help fund this much needed work that is required due to deteriorating floor.
By donating £1450 you can help us refloor one of our kennels which will then last for decades.
The new floors down in our kennels is the biggest project we have for 2018.
Through our kennels we help around 200 stray dogs a year, find 30 to 50 dogs new homes, help dogs in emergency situations, rescue dogs that have been neglected or cruelly treated, house dogs for those on their holidays to mention a small selection of why dogs come to stay at the GSPCA.
Every penny helps make a huge difference and there other ways to gift or help support our work in helping prevent cruelty and promote kindness to animals.
This means there will be some disruption to our normal service and sadly sections of kennels will be out of use and we apologise for any inconvenience to those that were hoping to board their dogs and haven’t been able to do so as we close each section in phases over the next two weeks.
Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager said “We are all very excited as the work has started today on our kennel floors and refurbishing 31 kennels and their corridors.”
“The floors will be a lovely grass green colour to give a natural feel and will much improve the stay and care of the dogs while they say at the GSPCA.”
“We are sorry for the disruption to customers over the next two weeks for boarding dogs at the Shelter as 31 of our kennels will be having new floors put down which is very much needed as well as other work to spruce up these sections."
"We have been appealing for help with this massive project as each kennel floor will cost a little over £1450 and this will then last for decades and ensure that our dogs have a great stay whilst in our care."
“We must say a huge thanks to those that have donated so far and we continue to appeal for funds to help with this essential work to help the dogs of Guernsey and the work of the GSPCA.”
"There are 5 sections of kennels made up of a section of 4, section of 6 and 3 sections of 7 kennels and any businesses that would like to support a kennel or section we would love to hear from them and would happily dedicate a plaque to that area."
"The work will all be completed by the end of next week all being well and good as we want to minimise any disruption and thank all for your patience during this time."
"From the cruelty cases of dogs in our care that have been neglected or mistreated to the 150-200 strays we help, those boarding that help raise the funds to run the Shelter to those in for rehoming our kennels see thousands of dogs through them every year."
