This year we have seen 13 stray tortoise and currently we have 2 at the Shelter.
All 11 that came in earlier in the year are back with their owners but Ridley as he's been named above by Shelter staff and Fabian below both came in last week.
Ridley was found in the Camp du Roi area and Fabian was found at L'Ancresse.
Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager said 'This year we have seen more stray Tortoise than ever before.'
'If anyone has lost any pet we always urge them to report it at the Shelter as we see anywhere between 50 and sometimes over 100 stray animals every month.'

This morning the GSPCA had a call about a stray Snake in the St Peter Port area.
Animal Collection Officer Geoff George before he started his shift had a call to help with a rescue of a Snake.
Geoff made his way to First Tower Lane where he found the Albino Corn Snake.
He quickly secured it and it is now back at the GSPCA Animal Shelter in St Andrews, Guernsey.
Geoff George said 'The Albino Corn Snake I rescued this morning seems very well and is fine to handle.'
Tomorrow which is Saturday the 24th August the GSPCA will be collecting around Guernsey for our annual Flag Day.
We have filled many of the locations but this is our last appeal for volunteers to help with the collecting.
Sarah Ozanne Organisor of this years Flag Day said 'We've had more volunteers come forward this week and I now have the collection packs all ready which include buckets, sashes, newsletters and stickers.'
'We'd love a few more volunteers for Herm Kiosk but we have other locations still with a few spaces.'
Geoff George one of the longest serving staff members will next month run the Guernsey Marathon for the GSPCA.
Geoff is the GSPCA Animal Collection Officer and works around the clock to help rescue and care for animals in Guernsey.
His main passion are the Grey Seals and many will remember Jethou Bumblebee and Hanois two which were rescued, cared for and released by the Shelter earlier this year.
We are looking forward to seeing many of you that are popping along to the North Show over the next two days.
We are delighted to announce that the Bumblebee Boat Cruise team will once again be fund raising for the GSPCA at the North Show.
If you would like to help out on our stall or help dress up in a Giant Animal Mascot outfit to help us fund raise then please pop along and say hi on the day or call 01481 257261.
This Saturday the 24th August the GSPCA will be collecting around Guernsey for our annual Flag Day.
We have filled many of the locations but we are still appealing for volunteers to help with the collecting.
Sarah Ozanne Organisor of this years Flag Day said 'Thank you to all of the volunteers that have put their names to help so far but we really need another dozen volunteers to help fill the gaps.'
'Herm Kiosk we are trying to get a good turn out especially volunteers that don't mind dressing as Giant Animal Mascots.'
