Sightings this evening at Grandes Rocques - The search for Jessie the stray beagle cross

Submitted by Steve on 18:31, 29th May, 2015 | 0

Early this week after the Bank Holiday and many events in and around St Peter Port Jessie the stray beagle cross moved west.

We have had a few reports around 5pm this evening of Jessie being seen at Grandes Rocques traveling towards Cobo which is where the reports and search was based 3 weeks ago.

Staff have been out in the area talking to those walking around Grandes Rocques and Cobo, but sadly she seems to have gone to ground once again.

We are asking those living on the west coast and near Cobo and Grandes Rocques to keep an eye open for Jessie.

Farewell and good luck Annie from all at the GSPCA

Submitted by Steve on 23:25, 27th May, 2015 | 0

Today was Annie Janes last day at the GSPCA and it was rather emotional for her after 3 1/2 years at the Shelter in St Andrews.

Annie joined the team in 2011 as an Animal Care Assistant, although she has worked on all departments including the reception desk, ambulance and even assisting with welfare work.

One of the most memorable last year for Annie was when she removed a dog from a hot car on a sunny day in St Peter Port with the police.

Another memorable moment was when she helped rescue Hanois the grey seal pup at Pleinmont at the start of 2013.

UPDATE - The search for Bertie the stray schnauzer

Submitted by Steve on 16:50, 27th May, 2015 | 0

Although we have not had any sightings of Bertie for some time we continue to liaise with his owners in hope that he may still be found.

Jessie the stray beagle is also proving illusive although proving like Slygo the stray terrier 2 years ago that a stray nervous dog in Guernsey can survive for months.

Although as the months from the time he has been seen makes it difficult to think he is still stray we continue to appeal for any reports to be made to the GSPCA on 257261.
