Last year the GSPCA saw a record breaking 618 hedgehogs come through the doors and 2020 is set to be even busier.
Between the 1st January 2019 and 12th August 2019 we saw 330 hedgehogs which was a record in our 147 year history and this year between the same period we have already had 399 hedgehogs arrive meaning it looks like another record breaking year for hedgehog numbers.
Despite lockdown the GSPCA has been incredibly busy and especially with wild animals.

With the recent hot weather the GSPCA has had a number of reports from concerned members of the public that have seen dogs locked in cars, dogs being walked on hot pavements, animals in direct sunlight and we want to remind all pet owners of the real dangers to their pets.
The GSPCA team have already been out to many vehicles and calls this year to reports of dogs locked in cars in direct sunlight and also to other animals at risk with the warm weather.

The Guernsey Arts Commission are proud to announce that Arts Sunday this year will be going ahead on the revised date of 9th August, that’s this Sunday between 10am and 4pm.
The last few months have been a strange time for the whole Island, but what has emerged from this has been the importance of creativity to bring the community together and spread positivity.
Due to this, they have decided to continue on from the last few months and are happy to announce the theme will be Guernsey Together – A celebration of community and kindness within the Arts.

Last month at the GSPCA we shared an important message about helping hedgehogs and after todays record number arrived in one morning we wanted to share that important information.
Of the 13 hedgehogs two were able to go back to the wild, one was sadly deceased on arrival and 10 others are now in our Hedgehog Department with a variety of injuries, ailments and ages requiring our care.
With a total of 348 hedgehogs coming into our care during 2020 since the 1st January it looks likely we will see another record breaking number of hedgehogs to need our help.
