The GSPCA have been informed this evening that the Environment Department is warning dog owners to keep pets away from any white substance they may find on local beaches.
Small lumps of a white waxy substance have been found today at Vazon Bay by the States Works beach cleaning team. Lumps of a similar substance found in south Devon and Cornwall in December 2014 were identified as degraded edible oil or fat.
If the substance is degraded oil, whilst not harmful to human health, it could pose a danger to dogs if it has gone rancid.

Over the last few days Jessie the stray beagle cross has been basing herself on the west coast.
On the weekend GSPCA staff, volunteers and members of the public were very close to catching her and today sightings at Grandes Rocques meant a GSPCA team were dispatched but once again she managed to disappear.
We are asking those living on the west coast and near Cobo, Port Soif, Grandes Rocques and Rousse to keep an eye open for Jessie.

On Friday the search for Jessie was at Grandes Rocques traveling towards Cobo which is where the reports and search was based 3 weeks ago.
Yesterday she was spotted at Port Soif near the kiosk and late Saturday near Rousse kiosk.
On Friday and Saturday GSPCA team members were out in the area talking to those walking around Grandes Rocques, Cobo and Port Soif.
Today a team went out to Rousse and with the help of members of the public we got very close on a number of occasions, but sadly despite over 2 hours of tracking her she managed to evade the search party

Today she has been spotted at Port Soif near the kiosk.
Staff have been out in the area talking to those walking around Grandes Rocques and Cobo yesterday and again out at Port Soif earlier today, but sadly she seems to have gone to ground once again.

Although we have not had any sightings of Bertie for some time we continue to liaise with his owners in hope that he may still be found.
Jessie the stray beagle is also proving illusive although proving like Slygo the stray terrier 2 years ago that a stray nervous dog in Guernsey can survive for months.
Although as the months from the time he has been seen makes it difficult to think he is still stray we continue to appeal for any reports to be made to the GSPCA on 257261.

This morning Jessie seems to have moved West. After being located in and around St Andrews and St Martins for the last few weeks and working to catch her we have had reports this morning she had been spotted in Perelle this morning and at 2200hrs this evening a sighting near the Fleur de Jardin.
Previously Jessie the stray beagle cross has been seen on multiple occasions in and around the St Martins, St Andrews, St Peter Port and Forest area and we have been trying to feed her in and around a trap central to these locations.

Jessie the stray beagle cross is being seen on multiple occasions in and around the St Martins, St Andrews, St Peter Port and Forest area and we now have her feeding in and around a trap central to these locations.
Although GSPCA team members have got within metres of Jessie she is extremely nervous and takes off at speed when approached so we are using the trap as the best way to capture her.

Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager said "We have had quite a few sightings of Jessie but as soon as she is approached she takes off at speed."
"We were working in an area to try and trap her but she seems to have moved on from where she was bedding down."
