The Douzaines of five parishes; St Peter Port, Castel, St Saviour, St Pierre du Bois and St Martins have agreed to support the GSPCA’s dog microchipping and registration initiative in 2013 by meeting the initial cost of microchipping through the dog licence fee.
The scheme is entirely voluntary but the Douzaines hope dog owners will avail themselves of this opportunity to ensure their dogs can be easily and quickly identified should they stray or be involved in an accident.

For only five pounds you can buy a gift certificate that will give one of the animals in our care a fantastic Christmas.
That’s right you will receive a certificate for yourself or someone you care for and that will enable us at the Shelter to give the animals in our care a very special Christmas Day.

The GSPCA would like to announce that we have a new shower for the dogs at the Shelter.
Thanks to a small contribution from the Pedigree Adoption Drive earlier this year and local businesses supporting the Shelter with the supplies, staff at the GSPCA have constructed a lovely new shower where both the dogs in for boarding and those looking for new homes can be pampered and washed.

On Saturday we held our Fun Dog Show and Summer Fayre.
We say summer but unfortunately the heavens opened and it rained for most of the day. Despite the wet weather the show went ahead.
As we had to fit owners and dogs into the training room at the Shelter the decision had to be made to go from 13 classes to 1 big class which was judged by Channelonline presenter Rob Moore.
Over 50 dogs attended and Rob met each dog and chatted to all the owners. From chihuahuas to boxers, staffies to cross breeds, there were dogs of all shapes and sizes.

The GSPCA since the launch of our special offer of £4.99p has microchipped over 100 dogs and cats. With nearly 1 in 2 stray cats and dogs that come into the Shelter have no form of ID the GSPCA launched an offer to try and ensure as many pets are chipped as possible.
Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager said 'We are so pleased with the number we have chipped so far but there are tens of thousands of dogs and cats in Guernsey and if there are only half that are chipped we still have a long way to go.'
Below are some of the details, facts and figures released last month -

This Sunday gone volunteers led by Corrine Connoly organised a sponsored dog walk which was also led by Corinne’s dog Sidney.
The route which was just under 5 miles went from Grandes Roques up to Pembroke Bay. Despite the weather over 20 volunteers and participants took part with over a dozen dogs that also helped with stewarding and taking part in the walk.
The weather with high winds and wet at times proved chilly and cold so many of the dogs wore coats to keep them warm and dry as well as their handlers with Sidney sporting a very nice flying jacket.
