With only 4 weeks this Sunday to go don't forget as part of the Animal Welfare Seafront Sunday there will be a fun dog show.
The GSPCA often receive calls from distressed animal owners for a number of reasons and this year one that has been highlighted is that of dogs attacking other animals.
It is often reported in the press regarding dogs killing chickens that aren't controlled but it doesn't stop there. At the GSPCA we often have other birds, hedgehogs, rabbits and even cats that are reported to the Shelter that have been killed by dogs that aren't under control.
Some of the current legislation regarding Control of Dogs in Guernsey is:
Today Nouska popped along to the vets for a check up and although we don't have the results of what the lump was yet the vet is pleased with how the operation scar is healing.
Nouska is doing well in himself and we are extremely grateful to everyone that has donated to his appeal.
If you would like to donate to Nouska the Husky's operation and the other animals in need please call 01481 257261, pop into the Shelter in St Andrews or click on the Paypal link below and reference 'Nouska's Appeal'
With the sun shining and a fantastic view nearly 70 Labradors had a fun afternoon at the Bon Port Hotel this weekend.
Organised by Cherry Dewey with her two Labradors being the first to arrive, volunteers helping on the day couldn't believe car after car pulling up with Labradors of all sorts of shapes, sizes and ages.
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.
This morning we are wishing Nouska the Husky the best of luck with his operation to remove a cancerous lump.
Nouska who has a lump in his chest is off to the vets today to have it removed.
We are so thankful to everyone that has donated towards him.
All the team at the GSPCA will be thinking of him today and we are all hopeful for a successful operation.
