A trio of rescued Silkies from Vale now at the GSPCA

Submitted by GSPCA on 15:32, 7th Jun, 2013 | 0

At the GSPCA we are often called regarding abandoned animals.

Last week a concerned member of public spotted a trio of Grey Silkies wandering around the Vale Castle area.

The birds were quite nervous and wasn't able to catch them so called in the GSPCA to assist.

Geoff George the GSPCA Animal Collection Officer attended the seen a number of times last week before he finally managed to catch them.

Safe and sound now at the Shelter they are doing well and there is a home already lined up for them.

Want to Volunteer for the GSPCA? Pop along to the Animal Shelter tomorrow at 6.30pm - Wednesday 5th June 2013

Submitted by GSPCA on 09:06, 4th Jun, 2013 | 0

If we didn't have volunteers at the GSPCA we couldn't exist, as every day kind individuals give up their own time to help the Animal Shelter and the work that goes on around the clock.

In a very basic calculation volunteers gave up well in excess of 13'000 hours during 2012 which is the same as 300 people working one 40 hour week.

From dog walkers to fund raisers, night wardens to receptionists, gardening to mucking out the GSPCA are grateful to each and every person that gives up their time to help the many animals in our care.

Yesterday was the GSPCA Summer Fayre and Fun Dog Show at Fairfields.

With over 200 dogs, over a 1000 visitors and a very sunny day a fantastic time was had with a lot of fun and some stunning dogs.

The GSPCA would like to thank all the volunteers and helpers as well as all those that supported the Dog Show which was all about celebrating the dogs of Guernsey.

There were stalls and games as well as plenty of refreshments and a BBQ which was ideal for such a sunny day.

Also many of the owners and some of the dogs enjoyed an ice cream or two.
