Submitted by Steve on 16:25, 4th Jan, 2019 | 0

At the GSPCA only hours ago we had a box of approximately 10kg of fresh fish delivered to the Shelter by Mr. Brian Billion who had been out fishing with his family earlier today especially for the 3 seal pups at the GSPCA.

The donation was kindly accepted from reception by the Community and Training Officer Tim Pellet who said “What a wonderful donation of the freshest fish we have seen this year for the 3 seal pups.

“I told Mr Billion that the seals would more than likely be enjoying their feast within the hour and we have pictures already of Gully tucking into them.”

In the last two hours GSPCA Ambulance Driver and Head of Marine Mammals has been out to rescue what is now the third seal pup at the GSPCA.

Please donate to Ellies life saving operation and care at the GSPCA

Submitted by Steve on 14:10, 18th Dec, 2018 | 0

Ellie is a very loving and sweet 8 year old Cocker Spaniel.

She arrived in the autumn at the GSPCA after her owner sadly passed away and has been treated for a mouth infection and some other ailments.

Once she was feeling much better she was booked in to be spayed which took place last week.

Sadly during Ellie’s operation a very large mass was discovered on her spleen and Ellie has had to have emergency surgery.
