We raised a fantastic £965 and had a huge amount of fun meeting the many visitors.

GSPCA Towel & Blanket Appeal

Submitted by Steve on 20:51, 8th Jun, 2017 | 0

With over 450 animals in our care we are extremely busy at the GSPCA.

At the GSPCA we are appealing for blankets and especially towels to help to provide them bedding, for handling and drying them off.

So if you are clearing out your airing cupboard or sorting through your linen please think of the many animals in our care.

Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager said "We use hundreds of towels and blankets every day at the GSPCA and our laundry machines are on around the clock."

Last weekend at the GSPCA Animal Welfare Seafront Sunday we had a huge undertaking getting everything needed from the GSPCA on to the Seafront and back in the hours allowed.

Could you donate to Bailey a very sweet Shih Tzu's operation and care at the GSPCA

Submitted by Steve on 09:42, 2nd Jun, 2017 | 0

Bailey a 3 year old Shih Tzu is an extremely sweet and wonderful natured lady which all of the staff and volunteers have fallen in love with at the GSPCA.

Since arriving at the GSPCA, as sadly her owner could no longer care for her, it was quickly established that she was in need of an operation and a number of treatments.

Last week Bailey went along to the vets to be sedated for an operation after having blood in her urine and difficulty urinating. The vets performed an operation which resulted in removing 4 very large bladder stones.

Guernsey Police & GSPCA advice for dog and animal owners with hot weather

Submitted by Steve on 08:52, 2nd Jun, 2017 | 0

As the weather become increasingly warmer, people in Guernsey are being reminded not to leave their dogs alone in a car on a warm day.

Many people may think that it’s ok to leave a dog in a car on a warm day if the windows are left open or they’re parked in the shade, but the truth is, it’s still a very dangerous situation for the dog.  Steve Byrne, GSPCA Manager said:

“It can get unbearably hot in a car on a sunny day, even when it’s not that warm.  When it’s 22 degrees outside, the temperature inside a car can soar to 47 degrees within an hour.”
