The new volunteers  sat in an area with two snakes in need of a home and the group found out about the work of the GSPCA, how they could help and an induction on working safely.

A pack was handed to each and also a certificate of attendance and thanks.

Lots of interest in volunteering at the Careers Show 2016

Submitted by Steve on 10:15, 14th Apr, 2016 | 0

Last Tuesday the GSPCA took a stall to the Careers Show 2016 for the fourth time and were overwhelmed by inquiries.

Although the Shelter rarely has vacancies the GSPCA are always looking for volunteers to help in a variety of areas and this was of a huge interest to many of the visitors at the Careers Show.

For many of the Year 9 students it is the first time they are able to help at the Shelter, as to become a volunteer with animals at the Shelter the minimum age is 14 years.

This meant that hoards of Year 9's swamped the GSPCA stand to find out how they could help.

With around 200 stray dogs and over 1000 strays helped every year by the GSPCA we face challenges on a daily basis reuniting them with their owners.

This month England, Scotland and Wales will be bringing in compulsory microchipping for dogs.

Jubilation's for Jubilee who is now named Bilee and in a loving new home

Submitted by Steve on 15:20, 1st Apr, 2016 | 0

Last May an injured long haired black and white cat was rescued and brought into the GSPCA on the Liberation weekend.

Found near Castel Hospital we named the cat Jubilee who had an awful bite wound and eye injury which was not easiy cured.  He needed many months of care and vet treatment and as no owner came forward after some months when the 3 year old cat was healthy enough he was put up for rehoming.

He was very difficult to handle at first and with his injuries meaning regular treatments it took sometime before he would trust the team.
