Today the GSPCA welcomed the third group of 7 Voluntourists from the Crystal Serentiy.

The group arrived just before 10am where they were shown around the Animal Shelter and during their tour with GSPCA Manager Steve Byrne they found out about not only the Animal Shelter but also a little of the history of Guernsey and of island life.

After the tour the group had a short coffee break before they helped out around the site from dog walking to socialising the cats.

Submitted by Steve on 14:26, 1st Sep, 2014 | 0

Today at the GSPCA a young lad called Oliver Marsh from Vale School popped in with a very nice gift for the Shelter.

He decided that instead of an ice bucket challenge and because he didn't want to get wet and cold that he would do a 'Nice Bucket Challenge'.

His 'Nice Bucket Challenge' consisted of a large blue bucket full of goodies for the animals at the GSPCA.

GSPCA Manager Steve Byrne met Oliver at Animal Shelter Reception and thanked Oliver for his wonderful gift.

Submitted by Steve on 12:42, 27th Aug, 2014 | 0

At the GSPCA we often get asked about dogs and cats looking for homes, but many forget the other pets in need at the Animal Shelter.

In recent years we have seen a growing number of stray and unwanted ferrets and rabbits and currently we have 19 ferrets and 16 rabbits at the GSPCA.

Some are still in their 21 days as a stray whilst we look for their owners or on treatment, but we do have 13 rabbits and 11 ferrets in need of new homes.
