Submitted by Steve on 16:37, 13th Jan, 2015 | 0

The search of Bertie continues 2 months since he first went missing due to fireworks early November.

The main areas of possible sightings recently have been around L'Ancresse & Bordeaux.

If you do see him or a dog like him please note the time and try to get a photo or video if possible.

Wildlife cameras have been placed in strategic positions in the hope we can pin point his location.

We would like to highlight that Bertie is a very timid little lad especially with men and people he doesn't know.

Stray female Jack Russell found in St Peter Port on Wednesday

Submitted by Steve on 09:18, 9th Jan, 2015 | 0

On Wednesday afternoon we received a stray female Jack Russell which was found near the Performing Arts Centre in St Peter Port.

Unfortunately she is not microchipped and has no tag with details to be able to locate the owner.

She is quite timid and nervous until you get to know her and has a collar.

Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager said "We are asking for help to find the owner of a stray female Jack Russell Terrier that was found near the Performing Arts Centre in St Peter Port on Wednesday."

Submitted by Steve on 12:47, 9th Dec, 2014 | 0

This morning the GSPCA attended the Richmond end of Vazon beach and were faced with large quantities of a substance which could be very dangerous to dogs.

Yesterday the GSPCA sent out a warning regarding reports of possible palm oil being spotted along the coast.

GSPCA Manager Steve Byrne this morning collected a large carrier bag of the white waxy substance along the beach and spoke to a number of dog walkers on the beach.

We have been in touch with the Environment Department who have staff removing the substance from our beaches.

Although in the last 24 hours we have had no 100% confirmed sightings of Bertie, the day before yesterday in the morning there was a possible sighting near to his home on La Hure Mare Road just off Route Summerfield, which could mean that he may be very close to his home.

We did have a call of a possible stray dog last night in the Perelle area, which could have been Bertie, but we still have no pictures to confirm it was him.

Earlier today we were all very excited with a possible report of Bertie out in the day in a garden, but sadly it wasn't him and the dog that it turned out to be is soon to be back with its owner.

Despite staff, volunteers and the wonderful public who are watching out for Bertie we have not had a firm report in the last 36 hours, although there was a possible sighting at Barras Lane in the early hours of yesterday morning.

Most recent sightings have been around the Grandes Rocque area and near St Sampson's High School.
