Yesterday we were very worried that Jessie may have left the west coast of Guernsey, but we are pleased to report she appears to remain in the area.
We had over a dozen sightings yesterday by phone and messaged through to us at the GSPCA and we appreciate all of the continued support.
We are currently escalating the capture of Jessie and just received temporary permissions from the States to fence an area off around the trap to help with her capture.
We are hugely grateful to Project who are kindly lending us the fencing and we are currently looking for a large number of sand bags to plug the gaps that will be present at the base of the fence panels.
This will be the biggest undertaking the GSPCA has ever launched for a stray dog and we really appreciate the support from Project and all of the community.
Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager said "Every day the GSPCA staff, volunteers and I are visiting our trap we have been using to catch Jessie the stray beagle, but she is very wary around it since she was caught on Wednesday and let out by members of the public who thought they could help bring her into the Shelter."
"For her to enter the trap once again is likely to take weeks if not months so we are currently working to escalate our efforts with the help from Project."
"We have been talking to the States who are allowing us to fence off an area on the west coast around our trap and the hope is once she is use to it, to stake out the area and trap her within."
"We would kindly ask the public not to chase or follow her as we want her to remain in the area for this plan to work."
"We appreciate all sightings and please do call 257261 if you do see her so we are aware of her location and movements."
We are working closely with Jessie's owners to help in the search of their dog and we all appreciate the wonderful public support and reports so far.
We would like to highlight that Jessie is a very nervous and timid beagle cross who has only recently been adopted from a UK rescue and is scared by people and loud noises.
She is an 8 year old, female, white and brindle beagle cross with no collar.
If you do spot Jessie please call us at the GSPCA on 01481 257261
Please do not approach or try to catch her as it is likely to scare her away and not help with her safe capture.
If she is in a secure area where you can close a gate or door then please do so and give us a call at the Shelter immediately.
With all reports the time, location and direction of movement is extremely important.
If you are able to get a picture or video clip this would really help.
At the GSPCA we have team members at the end of a phone and manning our ambulance 24 hours a day.
We are doing everything we possibly can and our team are on stand by to help in the safe capture.
There is a reward for her safe return of £200.
To call the GSPCA please ring 01481 257261 and if you have any pictures please email them to [email protected]
We continue to help in the search of Bertie the stray schnauzer that went missing in November last year, but sadly we have had no reports in some time but if you see him please follow the same advice as above.
