Stray tortoise found near the Grammar School on Sunday

Submitted by Steve on 17:50, 27th May, 2015 | 0

On Sunday a stray tortoise was found walking down road by Grammar School.

If you live in the area and missing a tortoise please do get in touch.

'Terry' as staff and volunteers have named the male, adult Herman's tortoise is not chipped and we have had no reports of a missing tortoise.

Each year we see around 30 stray tortoise handed into the GSPCA and we find the owners for nearly every one.

Thankfully he is safe and warm at the GSPCA, but we are appealing for the owner to come forward.

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.

Last night dozens of supporters joined the GSPCA for a Wild West themed bingo fun evening at the Market Bistro.

Celebrating John Wayne's birthday the GSPCA hold a themed bingo night each month to help raise funds for the hundreds of animals at the Shelter in St Andrews.

The night started at 7pm where Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager dressed as a cowboy welcomed everyone attending and before starting the bingo 'Happy Birthday' was sung to John Wayne who would have been 108 years old if still alive and sadly died 36 years ago.

The search for Jessie the stray dog continues - thank you for all of the support

Submitted by Steve on 09:13, 26th May, 2015 | 0

Over the weekend staff and volunteers at the GSPCA have been out to multiple locations in search of Jessie.

Jessie the stray beagle cross is being seen on multiple occasions in and around the St Martins, St Andrews, St Peter Port and Forest area and we now have her feeding in and around a trap central to these locations.

Although GSPCA team members have got within metres of Jessie she is extremely nervous and takes off at speed when approached so we are using the trap as the best way to capture her.

Fish and turtles now clean not green

Submitted by Steve on 20:14, 21st May, 2015 | 0

On Saturday a member of the GSPCA were called out to rescue two turtles and two goldfish which were found outside in a very dirty tank.

When Geoff George Animal Collection Officer rescued the fish and turtles he had to quickly try and find a location with appropriate tanks to help temporarily house them whilst facilities were arranged at the Animal Shelter in St Andrews.

Thankfully staff at the Friquet Garden Centre in Castel offered their services where all four were transported to place them in suitable conditions.

Nearly two weeks since they were rescued and our 3 hoglets eyes have started to open and are doing very well.

Widge, Midge and Fidge were rescued after being found with no mother in sight.

Ambulance Collection Officer Geoff George attended the scene in Torteval where they were found all alone in a shed.

We are pleased to report the baby hoglets have been feeding well and are now trying to escape from their bed whenever they get the chance.
