This weekend we have closed the doors of our Pop Up Charity Shop which is at the Animal Shelter in St Andrews.
Normally open Monday to Saturday 9am to 5pm we have closed the doors for the team at the GSPCA to erect new shelving which was recently kindly donated from the Stonelake store that moved from St Peter Port to the Bridge.
We are extremely grateful for the fantastic shelving and over the next few days volunteers are moving stock and setting up the new shelves and we are hoping to reopen early next week.
All of the funds raised help towards the running costs at the GSPCA and we will announce the reopening when the shop is ready to open.
Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager said "We are always looking at ways to raise funds to help the hundreds of animals at the GSPCA like Bonnie the grey seal pup and our pop up shop at the Shelter is just one way that helps raise the much needed funds."
"We are appealing for stock for the shop and we are extremely grateful to the recent donated shelving from the Stonelake store which has moved from town to the Bridge."
"We are also looking for volunteers to care for the shop and our next volunteer induction is Tuesday 2nd February at 6.30pm."
"As soon as the shop is ready to open the doors we will of course let everyone know."
"Our reception and pet shop area on site is still open so please do pop in for you pet food or treats."

To donate to Bonnie the grey seal pup please call 01481 257261, pop along to the Animal Shelter in St Andrews, by post or by clicking the link below.
We will of course keep you up to date with Bonnie's progress and keep your eyes open for pictures and videos.
If anyone see's a pup with or without a mum we really do appreciate a call so that we are aware of its location and condition but here is some advice.
A healthy pup looks like a big, stuffed maggot without a neck. However, a thin pup looks sleek (but not bony) and has a visible neck, like a healthy dog.
PLEASE DO NOT TOUCH THE SEAL. They can give a nasty bite, which will become infected by bacteria that live in a seal’s mouths.
Note: Do not allow dogs or other animals to harass a seal.
If a Seal is scared back into the water, it could then be washed out to sea by strong currents and be lost. You should not put a seal pup back in the sea as it may get into difficulty.
If a Seal pup is sick, thin or injured then we would ask you to contact the GSPCA immediately on 01481 257261 day or night
When reporting an injured, sick or abandoned seal to the GSPCA, please make sure you are able to supply the following information:
Exact location; nearest town / village
Position on the beach, and state of the tide
How long you have observed the pup; any disturbance / risk to it; whether the mother has been seen
Any wounds / obvious signs of illness
Length/colour/condition.
Caution:- Handling of any animal either domestic, wild, dead or alive may be potentially hazardous. Obvious dangers include bites, scratches and general hygiene issues. Common sense should be applied in all instances and, if unsure, seek additional advice or assistance. Personal hygiene should be taken into consideration after handling any animal, whether it’s domestic, wild, dead or alive.
