Rose the hedgehog is filmed taking her first steps after months of care - Hedgehog talk at the GSPCA Sunday 29th June

Submitted by Steve on 11:57, 19th Jun, 2014 | 0

Do remember Rose the hedgehog?

Rose is one of many hedgehogs that we have had in recently to be injured by gardening equipment.

After a long process of rehabilitation and care since arriving in April Rose is now back to health and fit enough to be released.

Sadly due to her injuries to her head many of her spines haven't grown back, so a lovely home with an enclosed garden was found and Rose left the Shelter last Friday.

When Rose went to her new home we equipped Mr & Mrs Herring with a wildlife camera to see how she got on in her new home.

Friday June 27th is Bring Your Dog to Work Day

Submitted by Steve on 10:46, 19th Jun, 2014 | 0

Next Friday June 27th is Bring Your Dog to Work Day.

Having a dog in the room can make human colleagues more cooperative, reduce stress, increase job satisfaction and productivity.

When adopting a dog or any animal from the GSPCA we often ask how many hours potential owners may be at work.  Perhaps the question should actually be - are you able to take your dog to work?

Discussing the benefits of taking a dog to work might just result in a match with a dog we have in for homing.

Phoenix the kitten has a lucky escape - PLEASE ENSURE YOU CHECK HEDGEROWS & OVERGROWN AREAS BEFORE STRIMMING OR CUTTING

Submitted by Steve on 10:33, 17th Jun, 2014 | 0

With the sunny weather and gardens blooming the GSPCA have had a busy few weeks with injured wildlife found in areas that have been strimmed or cut.

The main casualty have been hedgehogs and even mothers with young that have been found whilst an area has been cleared or cut.

Over recent years we have seen a decrease in feral cat colonies thanks to the work of the GSPCA and that of Guernsey Animal Aid Cats, but it only takes one unnetuered female cat and one male to result in a litter of kittens.

Medical staff turn their hand to animal care

Submitted by Steve on 16:34, 16th Jun, 2014 | 0

TEN members of staff from the Medical Specialist Group gave up a sunny Saturday this weekend to undertake voluntary work at the GSPCA.

The Guernsey Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals has a huge variety of duties that need to be completed on a daily basis and so are very grateful when islanders volunteer to give them a hand.

As well as the obvious chores of feeding and exercising animals and cleaning out the kennels and cattery, there are also a number of site-maintenance jobs.

Hot cars kill dogs - with a sunny Guernsey weekend ahead please stop & think of your pet

Submitted by Steve on 15:12, 13th Jun, 2014 | 0

With another sunny and warm weekend ahead of us the GSPCA want to ensure all pet owners take care of their animals.

This week the GSPCA have had calls from concerned members of the public that have reported dogs locked in cars.

With the warm weather and direct sunlight, dogs in cars are potentially in a situation where you could kill your pet if it is left regardless of the situation.
