Submitted by Steve on 16:24, 19th Feb, 2025 | 0

It is rare for dogs to be with us looking for homes for any length of time but occasionally we see those that we find a challenge to locate their forever home.

Seb Goman Senior Welfare and Animal Care Assistant tells us “ This week, the Shelter bid a heartfelt farewell to Stewie, a special dog who had been in our care for one year and seven months.”

“When Stewie first arrived, he was very wary of strangers, but with time, patience, and the dedication of our staff, he made incredible progress.”

PLEASE keep your dogs under control when around livestock

Every day the GSPCA help lost and stray animals and almost daily farm animals.

Some of these are due to dogs being walked worrying the herd or individual animals which can result in them being hurt or escaping.

With the larger farm animals we are called out to help everything from escaped horses to sheep in the road, cows in gardens to pigs out and about and many more.

With the extreme warm weather and direct sunlight, dogs and other animals whether in cars or their pens are potentially in a situation where you could kill your pet if it is left, regardless of the situation.

Join in with #BringYourDogtoWorkDay #TakeYourDogToWorkDay Friday 21st June #WithoutUs #WithoutYou

Submitted by Steve on 10:14, 13th Jun, 2024 | 0

All around Guernsey each year businesses and offices have had their 4 some 3 legged friends come to work and this year Bring Your Dog To Work Day takes places today, Friday 21st June.

Having a dog in the room can make human colleagues more cooperative, reduce stress, increase job satisfaction and productivity.

When adopting a dog or any animal from the GSPCA we often ask how many hours potential owners may be at work.  Perhaps the question should actually be - are you able to take your dog to work?
