Submitted by Steve on 15:46, 13th Jun, 2019 | 0

We always love to hear from animals adopted from the GSPCA and last month two gerbils were adopted and are now very happy with their new owner.

Milly and Molly were adopted only a few weeks ago and it was great to get an update on how well they are doing.

New owner of Milly and Molly Siiri Skerker said “Milly and Molly have joined us and settled straight in.”

“We wanted to let everyone know at the GSPCA how happy they are in their new home.”

Yvonne Chauvel Senior Animal Care Assistant said “We have such a variety of animals in need of homes at the GSPCA.”

#BringYourDogtoWorkDay Friday 21st June

Submitted by Steve on 09:59, 6th Jun, 2019 | 0

All around Guernsey each year businesses and offices have had their 4 legged friends come to work and this ear Bring Your Dog To Work Day takes places on 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?
