Submitted by Steve on 10:52, 8th Jun, 2018 | 0

With only a matter of weeks before Temperance the seal pup being released we are in desperate need of fresh fish to fatten him up.

His ideal fish is mackerel or herring and it has to be human quality for his health.

Temperance is eating 20-30 fish a day and we are currently struggling to find suppliers with enough in stock.

If you haven't got any fish you can still help by donating to - www.justgiving.com/fundraising/jerseyandguernseysealpups

URGENT KENNEL FLOOR APPEAL – Kennel flooring work discovers the need for new drains and completely ripping out sections of floor

Submitted by Steve on 13:40, 6th Jun, 2018 | 0

Over the last few weeks much needed work on the kennel floors has taken place, but this has uncovered major drain and structural issues.

Our kennels which were built in 2005 had a vinyl flooring put down which had sadly got to a point recently where new flooring was desperately needed which has been taking place since mid May. 

The first two sections required more work than expected and a few concerns were raised, but the work was undertaken and repairs carried out.

A HUGE thank you to all that made our 7th Animal Welfare Seafront Sunday the best yet

Submitted by Steve on 15:36, 30th May, 2018 | 0

On Sunday 20th May the GSPCA celebrated animals in Guernsey with some 7-10,000 visitors to our Animal Welfare Seafront Sunday.

It all started at dawn in glorious sunshine and with over 100 stalls and things to do St Peter Port was bustling from first thing.

Stall holders and GSPCA team members got to see the Guernsey Ultra race start at 7am while they were putting up their gazebos and preparing for what was without doubt the biggest event of 2018 and one of, if not the best ever Animal Welfare Seafront Sundays in our 7 year history of running them.
