This Monday is World Turtle Day.
Could you, your school or work place do something to help the endangered species at the GSPCA.
Olivia the loggerhead turtle after 2 months has finally started eating on her own and we are currently trying to raise either £10000 for a flight for her to the Canary Islands or looking for someone kind enough to help fly her south where she belongs.
On Monday World Turtle Day celebrates turtles around the world and Olivia isn't the only turtle at the Animal Shelter as we also have two musk turtles in our care.
Next Friday Herm will rock to help a very hard shelled lady.
Playing a set 80s classic, Fade2Grey will be landing in Herm helping to raise funds for the very endangered Loggerhead Turtle that is in the care of the GSPCA.
Last week the band visited the GSPCA to see the hundreds of animals at the Animal Shelter in St Andrews which included Bonnie the seal pup to baby birds, rabbits in need of homes to injured hedgehogs.
Over the last two Tuesday evenings we have run our cat and dog first aid courses.
Each course started just after 6.30pm and involved learning about how to save a cat or a dogs life and hints and tips on what to do.
Last night we held the Dog First Aid Course which was run by GSPCA Manager Steve Byrne and saw 9 dog lovers learning how to help four legged friends in a number of life saving circumstances.
Molly a beagle owned by the GSPCA Manager popped in half way through for those attending to help look for a heart beat in a dog.
This Sunday Giant Animal Mascot 5-a-side football event at 2pm, would like to join in?
Once again we will be holding a Giant Animal Mascot event but this year there are a big twist.
This is open to mascots and individuals prepared to dress as an animal and play a fun football game with a rather over sized ball.
We are asking businesses, pubs, individuals or anyone as a team of 5 or an individual and we can make extra teams on the day.
Monday 16th to Sunday 22nd May 2016 is the fourth GSPCA Cupcake Week here in Guernsey
Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager said "Can you make/bake & sell cupcakes to raise money for the GSPCA?"
"By getting involved you will be helping many injured and abandoned animals like Bonnie the seal pup and Olivia the turtle, Betty the english bull dog and Monkey the diabetic cat, not to mention the many hedgehogs and baby birds."
A huge thank you to all that supported our stall Taste of Guernsey Seafront Sunday.
This weekend was the first of the Seafront Sundays and saw over 4000 visitors off a cruise liner which made for a very busy day.
Once again we set up just outside Marks and Spencer with all of our fun games, tombolas and a few goods on sale.
We raised over £800 and our stall proved very busy throughout the day which saw quite some sunshine.
If you're out and about why not pop by the Taste of Guernsey Seafront Sunday this weekend.
We will be setting up from 8am for a 10am start and it is their first Seafront Sunday of 2016 and first of the year.
It is likely we will be once again just outside Marks and Spencer with all of our fun games and tombolas.
The GSPCA will hopefully have a stall at every Seafront Sunday this year and on Liberation Day and we are looking for volunteers to help us out on the days.
Fade2grey will be playing another outdoor charity show in Herm at the Mermaid Tavern on Friday 27th May.
Priced at £35, tickets include supper, entry to the Mermaid (and the show of course) and a return Trident from Guernsey.
Fade to Grey will be raising funds for the GSPCA and Les Bourgs Hospice and we are hugely thankful as the last event the held in aid of the Animal Shelter was an amazing event as each of their gigs always proves to be.
