The GSPCA would like to say a huge thank you to Nickie Browning Fire Safety Officer from the Fire & Rescue Service for recent training and advice she has helped with at the GSPCA.
Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager "The Guernsey Fire and Rescue Service are truly fantastic from helping with difficult rescues to supporting our events and last month with training for our team."
Last month the Fire Service kindly helped the GSPCA rescue a trapped wood pigeon.
Michelle Champion GSPCA Warden who was called to the scene said “The pigeon was stuck between a window and safety glass at the Royal Terrace.”
“It kept trying to move but was absolutely stuck.”
“I pressed all the buttons on the front door to the building and eventually found someone to let me upstairs but there was no one in any one of the three apartments that I worked out it must belong to.”
On the 3rd November a team of staff from Oak Trust Guernsey gave up an afternoon in the office to help the GSPCA.
This month the team at the staff and volunteers at the GSPCA have been taking part in training in Pet Bereavement thanks to the Guernsey Bereavement Service.
Sadly every day of the year staff and volunteers at the GSPCA help owners of pets that have died, whether recently or in the past and it is always hard to know if you are saying the right thing.
The GSPCA would like to say a HUGE thank you to all involved with the 1960’s & Masquerade Ball at The Farmhouse Hotel which took place on Saturday 11th November 2017 in aid of the GSPCA and the many animals in our care.
Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager said “What an amazing night we had on the 11th November at the fantastic Farmhouse Hotel with the amazing Day Trippers and superb room decorated.”
“With nearly 100 in attendance nearly £4,000 was raised for the many animals at the GSPCA and so much fun was had with such lovely food served.”
On Sunday 1st October the GSPCA held a Fun Family Day at the Mallard Cinema where the GSPCA took over all 4 screens to show a selection of films chosen by the public.
Sadly due to the weather the planned car boot, charity stalls and dog show were sadly cancelled and the GSPCA moved their stall into the foyer of the Mallard Cinema.
The films were well attended and included the Secret Life of Pets (Screen 3), Lion King (Screen 2), Chicken Run (Screen 4) and a packed Jungle Bunch (Screen 1).
Today a grey seal pup rescued in Jersey on Sunday at just 11.5kg has just arrived at the GSPCA in Guernsey.
Trevor as the 2 week old pup has been named has joined Temperance of a similar age at the GSPCA seal unit in Guernsey.
Both pups are around a quarter the weight they should weigh and both very weak so are in intensive care at the GSPCA.
The Jersey pup was rescued by the local branch of the British Divers Marine Life Rescue and was discovered severely underweight at L’Etacq.
This morning the GSPCA team were called out to rescue a dehydrated, thin, young seal pup from Beaucette Marina.
'Temperance' ' as the grey seal pup of just two weeks has been called is the thinnest grey seal pup on record to be rescued by the GSPCA in Guernsey.
Spotted on the headland, GSPCA Ambulance Driver and Marine Mammal Carer Geoff George attended to the scene after a call from a member of public.
With no mother in site and the poor condition of the young animal Temperance was rescued and has just arrived at the GSPCA.
Last night we held our 14th volunteer induction at the GSPCA and met 26 new helpers keen to learn how they can get involved with us here at the Animal Shelter adding to the 143 inducted this year taking this years inducted volunteers to a total of 169 not including others that have helped from businesses, groups and other organisations.
On the 23rd September 2017 ‘Mist’ an adolescent gannet was rescued from Lihou very unwell and weak and brought to the GSPCA Animal Shelter by Volunteer Warden Suzy Rose.
For the first few weeks the bird was under the supervision of our vet and care of the GSPCA team in our intensive care room for large sea birds and seal pups.
Mist responded extremely well to treatment and enjoyed a lot of fish each day.
As Mist grew stronger the bird was allowed outside on one of the GSPCA rehabilitation pools.
