On Friday night at the Duke of Richmond a fabulous Abba night was had by over 200 supporters all dressed up for an amazing evening in aid of the GSPCA.
Organised by Corinne Connolly and Sidneys Sponsored Events there are many thanks to those that supported, helped, donated to the raffle, the hotel and of course the wonderful Swede Dreamz Tribute Band.
Organisor and founder of Sidneys Sponsored Events Corinne Connolly said "Guernsey is only just coming down after a fabulous show on Friday."
On the 15th February 2012 Sarah Ozanne joined the team at the GSPCA as a volunteer dog walker and started helping at the Animal Shelter in many of the departments.
Her interest in the work at the Shelter quickly grew and after applying for a full time post at the GSPCA she started her career in December of the same year.
The GSPCA are reminding all dog owners about the beach restrictions that came into place yesterday in Guernsey.
Dogs are not allowed on or off lead on the following beaches between 1st May – 30th September:
Fermain
Petit Bot
L’Eree
The Northern end of Vazon
Port Soif
Cobo
L’Ancresse / Pembroke
Dogs are also excluded from Shell Beach, Belvoir Bay, Fisherman’s Beach and the stretch of beach in front of the White House Hotel to the Herm Jetty.
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.
During February the GSPCA were overjoyed that the green token Community Matters box at the Waitrose stores in Admiral Park and the Rohais were in aid of the Animal Shelter.
This month GSPCA Manager Steve Byrne was invited along to the Waitrose Admiral Park store to meet Esther Langford Partner Co-ordination Manager who had a wonderful donation of £339 to help the 400 animals at the GSPCA.
In Guernsey a case of Strangles has recently been identified and the GSPCA are asking all equine owners to take care to ensure their animals are kept safe and well.
Strangles is a commonly diagnosed infectious disease that affects all equidae worldwide. Caused by the bacterium Streptococcus equi.
The disease is highly contagious and is spread by direct or indirect contact. It can affect any age, sex or breed of horse and remains a widely feared disease because of its debilitating effects and its potential economic impact on equestrian businesses.
After the BIGGEST ever GSPCA event on Easter Sunday a call came into our GSPCA emergency line not for what you would expect such as an Easter bunny but instead for a Christmas turkey.
A stray turkey had been spotted in St Martins and GSPCA Ambulance Warden had to rescue the bird while many around Guernsey enjoyed their Easter Eggs.
The bird is doing very well at the GSPCA and we are currently appealing for the owner to come forward.
Earlier today a cat was reported being hit by a car in the Jerbourg area.
It was reported to be an adult tabby cat that ran into the near by fields.
The GSPCA have been out to search the area with sadly no joy or sign of the cat.
If you are in the area please watch out for the cat and any sightings or information please call us on 01481 257261.

This is open to mascots and individuals prepared to dress as an animal and play a fun football game with a rather over sized ball.
