On a daily basis GSPCA Shelter staff work with and learn new skills caring for the many animals that come through the Animal Shelter every day, but this week a very different kind of training has taken place.
The GSPCA receive many stray animals every week and with only 40 to 45% of dogs and cats being microchipped or have any identification this means there are many which are we are unable to quickly reunite with their owners.
With over 9 stray tortoise handed in to the GSPCA last year and 20 reported lost this is the first of 2013 to be handed into the GSPCA Animal Shelter.
The GSPCA receive all sorts of animals, reptiles and birds as strays and this tortoise is just one of the more unusual that we see.
We are still looking for the owner of the Bearded Dragon that staff have called Sorrento that was found in Collings Road last week and this hard shelled reptile was found in the Torteval area and if you have lost your tortoise then please get in touch.

After months of wandering the south cliffs of Guernsey Slygo the stray terrier was safely caught in the early hours of this morning.
The GSPCA has been working with the authorities and other charities to capture the nervous little dog that has been stray since February this year.
We must start by thanking all of the press and public in their support as without the combined help of everyone involved we wouldn't have been able to catch him.
