Do you have historic pictures or videos of the GSPCA work to help us look back at 140 years history

Submitted by GSPCA on 16:07, 4th Jan, 2013 | 0

Next month the GSPCA will be celebrating 140 years caring for animals in Guernsey and we are appealing for pictures or video clips of the work during our 84 years at our current address or even the early 1900's or late 1800's that anyone that may have.

We have a very good record of our history back until the late 1920's but very few pictures.

Our records include annual reports back to 1929 and even a visitor book from the 1970's with some lovely signatories.

Free Microchipping at our Tuesday Coffee & Bric-a-brac Mornings

Submitted by GSPCA on 11:11, 3rd Dec, 2012 | 0

The GSPCA have been running coffee mornings and bric-a-brac sales at the Animal Shelter for nearly a month and as a Christmas present to pets each Tuesday between 10.30am and 12pm we are offering free microchipping to dogs and cats.

No appointment needed all the GSPCA ask for is a donation and we will ensure your dog or cat is microchipped.

Microchipping is a permanent form of identification and enables the GSPCA to reunite hundreds of animals every year but unfortunately more than 50% of strays the GSPCA has in at the Shelter have no microchip and often no collar.
