National Pet Day is a chance for those of us who own pets to show them how much we love them.
We all can think of the traditional things: a new toy, some tasty treats, or a long walk in the park, maybe a game of fetch, assuming you have a dog!
But, think outside the box and come up with some ideas to celebrate your relationship with your pet. Once you have indulged your own animals with their favourite treats, why not consider donating to the many animals at the GSPCA?
You can donate by visiting
https://giving.gg/donate/charity/2/Guernsey-Society-for-the-Prevention-of-Cruelty-to-Animals-(GSPCA)
or

There are so many neglected and unwanted animals waiting for some love and attention.

Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager said “At the GSPCA we help thousands of pets and owners every year in many was from those found lost to those being cruelly treated, those on their holidays to those needing rehoming.”
“From our puppy training classes to our shop in reception there are many ways we can help you and your pets and we have many in need of new homes.”
“You can see many in need of homes by visiting http://www.gspca.org.gg/animals .”
“Today we launch our new online adoption application form and whether we have an animal in our care or not that is suitable we can keep your details on file in case something comes in.”
“To check out the new online adoption application form please visit https://service.sheltermanager.com/asmservice?account=gspca&method=online_form_html&formid=23 .”
‘To care for the 400 animals at the GSPCA means every little bit helps and there are man ways to donate to the GSPCA and the animals in our care.”
“If you don’t already own a pet and thinking of a new family member, then what better time to adopt one than on #NationalPetDay?”
“With so many in need at the GSPCA a good phrase to keep in mind is #AdoptDontShop .”
