National Microchipping Month is a campaign that encourages and promotes responsible pet ownership through microchipping as the preferred method of permanent identification. Throughout the month of June the GSPCA will be supporting this event by offering reduced priced microchips and to start the month at our Fun Dog Show this Sunday at Fairfields we will be offering free microchipping for dogs and microchip checks for all dog owners, although donations welcomed.
With the sunny weather many of our animals our outside on view at the Shelter so if you are passing please pop by to see bunnies, Blakey the ferret and a selection of birds.
Over the last few days staff and volunteers have been popping out a selection of animals which you can see when you pop in the Shelter.
Our reception area is open 9am to 5pm today and has a wide selection of pet goods so when popping by you can grab cat food to bird seed.
We are also asking if you could pop a poster up os some of the animals looking for homes.

I am currently embarking on an adventure (or torture as some say!) of a lifetime in which I hope to raise £2000 for each of my chosen charities. So if you've seen me out running in even the most horrific of weather, this is why!!
The Challenge:
24 hours a day, 7 days a week staff and volunteers work around the clock at the GSPCA to ensure the animals are cared for and those in need can be rescued around Guernsey.
One of the wonderful additions that has benefited many animals at the Shelter has been our Wish List which we have both on our website and a link to an Amazon Wish List.
Since launching our Amazon Wish List in October 2012 nearly every week we have had wonderful donations from honey for the hedgehogs to heat lamps to keep those ill nice and warm.
This January for the second time WEA are teaming-up with the GSPCA to provide a comprehensive course that not only provides essential information for pet care but tackles the wider issues of wild animal welfare in Guernsey.
The first course started in September and has the it's last session this evening and was a sell out so please book your place early.
Every week the classes have been interactive and full of experiences and discussions about animal care.
The course subjects include:
