Once again on Sunday at the GSPCA we joined the Taste Guernsey Seafront Sunday with a stall to raise funds for the animals in Guernsey.

It was the third Taste Guernsey Seafront Sunday and the fifth of 2015.

We set up at 8am just outside Marks and Spencers and before the day could even start the road was full of tourists off the cruise liners and locals enjoying the lovely weather and the many stalls and entertainment.

We had many visitors playing the games on offer and many purchasing local Guernsey goods from fudge to GSPCA hoodies and hats.

At the GSPCA during the term holidays we run guided tours, but on Thursday we ran an exclusive surprise experience planned by a very loving husband.

A number of weeks ago, in secret Art Allen had been in touch with the GSPCA to arrange a surprise for his wife who was celebrating a milestone birthday and taking retirement from full time work.

Mid morning on Thursday Art Allen arrived at the GSPCA with his wife Jean who had no idea why she had come to the Animal Shelter in St Andrews.

On Saturday the 18th July the first ever animal came to stay in the new multi purpose animal welfare building.
