A Happy New Year to one and all from the GSPCA.

The Society was formed in 1873 to prevent cruelty to animals, to rescue animals in distress, to provide shelter for stray, unwanted and sick animals, to encourage and foster by means of promotion and education, kindness and consideration in the treatment of domestic and wild animals.

That means for over 137 years we have been helping the animals of Guernsey and this year we are especially excited about the new animal welfare legislation that will give even more protection to the animals of Guernsey.

The New Year brings with it many plans for the GSPCA as we are looking to rebuild our Welfare Cattery to opening a Charity Shop to raise funds for the Shelter and much more.

In 2012 we have planned an Easter Fayre, Summer Fete and Dog Show as well as an Animal Welfare Day as one of the Sea Front Sundays in September.

We ended 2011 with our first newsletter which was sent to our members and email subscribers as well as starting our two newest members of the team Edward Higgins and Annabelle Janes.  They have been helping with the huge increase of hedgehogs and in fact had our 35th in on Boxing Day.

We are all very excited for 2012 and would like to thank everyone that supported us in 2011 by donations, shopping with us, staff, volunteers and the many other ways in which people support the Animal Shelter and work that we do.
