On Wednesday the team at the GSPCA were handed a shelled stray.
'Penny' as staff and volunteers have named the female, adult Herman's tortoise was found on Epinel Road in St. Sampsons.
Each year we see around 30 stray tortoise handed into the GSPCA and we find the owners for nearly every one.
Thankfully she is safe and warm at the GSPCA, but we are appealing for the owner to come forward.
If you think that this may be your lost tortoise then please call the GSPCA on 257261 or pop into the Animal Shelter in St Andrews.
Yesterday we held a land mark event at the GSPCA.
For the first time in our 142 year history we celebrated the Topping Out of the biggest build project in our long history.
Mrs Lynda Walker, wife of our patron Lieutenant Governor Peter Walker, was the guest of honour to the event.
The GSPCA Trustees and team also invited supporters, local press and Build Partners to the Topping Out Ceremony.
As Spring sets in the GSPCA see a sharp increase in the number of animals coming into the Shelter and needing to be rescued.
Yesterday we were called out to an address in St Peter Port where a cat had found itself stuck high up in a tree since Sunday.
Geoff George Animal Collection Officer arrived at the scene Tuesday morning and after making an assessment he called a colleague, Annie Janes GSPCA Animal Care Assistant to assist with additional equipment.
Tomorrow we welcome our Exclusive Build Partners to the first ceremony of our new multi purpose animal welfare building.
Tomorrow between 9am and 7pm the GSPCA will be at the Careers Show at Beau Sejour.
At our stand we will have members of our team to chat about working for the GSPCA and also the many volunteer opportunities.
Not only will there be members of our team through the day, we will also have a few shelled four legged friends.

Dolphin Day is celebrated throughout the world and in the grand scheme of things it is perhaps one of the most well-known unofficial holidays of the world.
Having gained steam in the 1990s and continuing into the present day, this holiday focuses on the worldwide plight of the dolphins. Considering how similar dolphins appear to be to ourselves, we may even call Dolphin Day one of the more “human” holidays that are celebrated.
