At the GSPCA we feel education has a huge part to play in the world we live and knowing what to do whether helping at the GSPCA, at home or in your work place is extremely important.

This Wednesday we have a Volunteer Induction Evening. If you are interested in helping the GSPCA then we ask for you to pop along at 6.30pm to find out about the GSPCA and a short safety induction.  The evening takes around 90 minutes and is at the Animal Shelter in St Andrews.

Submitted by Steve on 10:59, 16th Oct, 2014 | 0

Many children will be very excited about the release of Michael Bay's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie.

As fantastic as many of these films can be for Animal Welfare Organisations they can cause all sorts of problems.

From 101 Dalmatians to the Chipmunks, Lassie to Toto from the Wizard of Oz there are many films and programmes that have influenced people to impluse adopt or buy species and breeds of animals.

Submitted by Steve on 10:59, 14th Oct, 2014 | 0

Nearly two weeks ago a kestrel was rescued and brought into the GSPCA from the St Peters area in Guernsey.

The injured bird had a damaged eye and would have likely perished if she hadn't been found.

Hook as the kestrel has been called was initially in an intensive care unit with regular treatment prescribed from the vet and as Hook got stronger progressed into a hospital cage before being placed in one of the soft release aviaries here at the Shelter in St Andrews.
