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.
We always encourage to buy local but for those that do shop online we have an Amazon Wish List which you can see here - https://www.amazon.co.uk/hz/wishlist/ls/25MJPPDAGXHL1?type=WishList
On the list there are dog treats, cat beds to scratchers, fairy liquid to bin bags, butchers dog food to PPE we had an amazing range of gifts for both the team, cleaning and the animals in our care.
Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager said “Currently at the GSPCA we are running very low on dog treats and are appealing for donations.”
“We cannot thank all those that support our varied work and with over 300 animals in our care every penny donated and all donations are hugely appreciated.”
“We have an online Wish List on our website and also an Amazon Wish List and it is an easy way to help the animals in our care during these difficult days.”
“Some of the most recent donations have been a wonderful selection of bowls, probiotics for birds and some lovely treats for the many rabbits in our care.”
"We also have collection bins in store like Pets at Home, some Co-ops, Alliance and Le Friquet Garden Centre."
“If shopping online at the same time shopping online can help raise funds at the same time as if you select the GSPCA through easy fund raising part of the amount through 1000’s of online retailers comes back to the GSPCA and it has raised over £2500.”
“To sign up to do this please visit http://www.easyfundraising.org.uk/causes/guernseyspca/?u=1CHID8 .”
“You can always chose to donate via local stores and the Amazon Wish List is a shop front showing some of the items we need but there are many others and we have published these on our Wish List page http://www.gspca.org.gg/about/our-plans-wish-list or check out some of our Wishes in what is our 150th year in 2023 including some of the rebuild plans and how you can Buy a Brick https://www.gspca.org.gg/page/gspca-celebrating-150-years .”
“A gift of a tiny bowl costing less than a £1 to a £600 intensive care unit, every donation is hugely appreciated and really makes the team smile that there are those that care and want to support our work.”
“A huge thank you to all that have donated and supported our work we really couldn’t do so much without so many caring and wonderful supporters.”
Seb Goman GSPCA Animal Care Assistant said “At the GSPCA kennels we are appealing for dog treats as we have been running very low.”
“We would love good quality treats, but the dogs are not fussy.”
“Some we use a lot are denta sticks, grain free treats, mixed bag treats, healthy chews, bonios anything really, although we prefer not to use no raw hide chews.”
“There is all sorts of other items we have on our wish lists which really help.”
