Submitted by Steve on 15:12, 13th Jun, 2014 | 0

With another sunny and warm weekend ahead of us the GSPCA want to ensure all pet owners take care of their animals.

This week the GSPCA have had calls from concerned members of the public that have reported dogs locked in cars.

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

Today we had the lovely Jenny Kendall-Tobias from BBC Guernsey visit the GSPCA Animal Shelter.

Jenny came up to visit Robbie a horse who is in need of a special home.

Robbie arrived at the Shelter at the end of February as his owner could no longer care for him.

Since then we have had the vet and the farrier check over the 17 hand Dutch Warm Blood to tell us the type of home he will need.

Friday the 23rd May was not only a joyous and wonderful day for the team at the GSPCA, but also filled with tears and hope.

Grey seal pups Trinity and Eden who were rescued in January of this year were found very close to death and if it hadn't been for the rescue and rehabilitation at the GSPCA Animal Shelter in St Andrews, Guernsey then they certainly wouldn't have made it in the wild.

Yesterday morning GSPCA staff made preparations to release the young seal pups which were rescued separately earlier this year.
