On Sunday the GSPCA held the fourth ever Animal Welfare Seafront Sunday in St Peter Port.
Each year since 2012 the team at the Animal Shelter work extremely hard to put on a day to celebrate animals in Guernsey.
Once again thousands of visitors and locals enjoyed what was a wonderful day packed with things to see and do.
Stall holders and the GSPCA team arrived during the early hours of Sunday to set up ready for the first event which was the fantastic Battle of Britain Parade which takes place along the seafront just after 940am.
This Sunday we are pleased to announce Daniel the Donkey from Island FM and Roary the Lion from Guernsey FC will be attending and taking part in the Giant Animal Mascot Race.
Joining them will be individuals from Crabby Jacks, KPMG, Travel Corporation, Greenman MCC, Sark Shipping and others and its not too late.

Giant Animal Mascot It's a Knock Out for the GSPCA
Once again we will be holding a Giant Animal Mascot Race but this year there are a few twists.
With only 3 days to go the GSPCA are getting ready for our BIGGEST event of the year the Animal Welfare Seafront Sunday and just look who is coming.
Not only do we have Bernard over very own GSPCA Mascot but his friends Olaf and Dave the Minion are popping along to say hello to the crowds.
To judge the fun dog show 'Olaf' will take centre stage to see who has the waggiest tail to dog looking most like their owner.
Olaf and Dave popped by today and are looking forward seeing everyone this Sunday from 10am.
We must thank everyone that helped, took part and supported the Animal Welfare Seafront Sunday.
The day was a fantastic success with lots of family fun and enjoyment.
One of the main spectacles was the Animal Mascot Race which took place on Sunday at 1pm and this year the race included -

This Sunday the 14th July 2013 at the Bon Port Hotel we would like to invite you to Labradog Day, a day to celebrate Labradors in Guernsey.
Organised by Cherry Dewey we are asking labrador owners from around the Bailiwick to come along with their Labradors for a fun filled afternoon.
We are also trying to get as many Labradors from around the island so we can get a phot of them all together.
The day includes -
After an operation to remove a lump from his throat and an overnight stay Nouska the Husky is back at the Animal Shelter and doing well.
The lump which was found after Nouska was signed over to the Shelter has now been removed and he is on pain relief, antibiotics and a special food to help his recovery.
We have sent the lump away to be diagnosed and will hopefully no longer cause Nouska and more issues.
The GSPCA helps care for and rescue thousands of animals every year and without our wonderful volunteers we really couldn't do it.
From cleaning kennels to fundraising there are dozens of roles for volunteers to help the GSPCA and next Wednesday we have our second Volunteer Welcome and Induction Evening.
With the success of the first last month which drew a crowd of 18 new volunteers to the Shelter the second is planned for 6.30pm on the 17th July.
We would like to extend a thank you to the team at The Best Of Guernsey for the feature of the GSPCA.
The page is full of information about the Shelter, what we do, our services, events and much more.
Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager said 'We are extremely grateful to the team at The Best Of Guernsey for the wonderful exposure on what is a hugely popular web site in the Bailiwick.'
This week we have received a young kitten that was rescued out at Icart Point.
The GSPCA are concerned that there may be others and if you are out in the area and come across any please get in touch with the Shelter.
Tiger as he has been named was found extremely thin, no mother in site and full of worms, fleas and may not have survived if he had not been rescued.
This time of year kittens are often rescued and brought into the GSPCA and just this morning another feral was rescued and brought in from the Bouet area who is now named Molly.
