Some unusual not so hopping new guests in need of homes at the GSPCA

Submitted by Steve on 23:54, 1st Dec, 2015 | 0

With over 3000 stray, sick injured, wild, unwanted and cruelly treated animals through our doors every year we never know what to expect and yesterday was no exception.

For the first time in known history we were asked to take in two African Clawed Frogs.

Dozzer and Manfred as they are called are both 8 years old and sadly their owner could no longer care for them.

They are currently in a tank in the new building here at the GSPCA and in need of a very special home.

One of the BIGGEST cases in our long history happened this year when 25 puppies which were from Slovakia were stopped at the harbour in very concerning conditions and were headed for the UK.

Shortly after we found out that all pups were to stay in Guernsey and be rehomed locally, photographer Liz Kerr came in to take a few pictures and has kindly put together a calendar for 2016 to raise funds for the GSPCA to help the hundreds of animals currently in our care.

2016 calendars starring the Slovakian puppies cost just £15 each.
