Submitted by Steve on 07:51, 30th Apr, 2019 | 0

Thanks to Guernsey Post, Donkey Logic and Colour Monster leaflets were dropped around Guernsey yesterday to promote our fund raising appeal to help raise funds for a new Wildlife Hospital here in Guernsey.

With over 2000 wild animals through our doors every year we help more wild animals than domestic every year and with the current facilities decades old and in desperate need of repairs and updating the GSPCA are appealing for your support to build a better future for the wildlife of Guernsey.

There are a number of ways you can help donate to this much needed project –

Earlier this year the GSPCA Manager Steve Byrne celebrated his 40th year and helped raise funds for the GSPCA instead of cards and gifts.

Steve at the time decided that he had put on a little weight in recent years so made the decision to get fit and run the Guernsey Dairy Milk Run Half Marathon.

It was certainly a hoping Easter at the GSPCA with bunnies

Submitted by Steve on 16:38, 26th Apr, 2019 | 0

The GSPCA has recently seen a huge rise in the numbers of rabbits coming into our care.

With 25 rabbits looking for new homes and many more coming in over the next few days Easter was certainly a busy time at the GSPCA for those that care for the rabbits.

Many of the GSPCA rabbits looking for homes are now outside on our Bunny Hop Hill and we are not only appealing for new homes for those in our care but we are also appealing for funds to help build new enclosures for the rabbits at the GSPCA.

Spring advice from the GSPCA with the many baby birds being seen and found around Guernsey

Submitted by Steve on 16:16, 26th Apr, 2019 | 0

With Spring well underway the GSPCA are asking Islanders to please be mindful of the many fledglings popping up around the Bailiwick. 

The GSPCA would like to remind that as a general rule, it is best to leave baby birds alone.

A baby bird has a greater chance of survival in the wild than it has being hand-reared by man as they learn to fend for themselves and how to forage for food by their parents.

Around 2 weeks after hatching young birds in your Bailiwick garden usually leave the nest, just before they learn how to fly.

Submitted by Steve on 10:28, 21st Apr, 2019 | 0

Be aware this weekend you could be putting your pet at risk at Easter if you feed your pet chocolate intended for people or they manage to find those carefully hidden from the children.

Across the Bailiwick we are all stocking up Easter eggs and chocolate as gifts for family and loved ones, but the GSPCA has an important message for pet owners.
