Nearly a month to the day since the grey seal pups Jethou Bumblebee and Hanois were released by the GSPCA back into local waters we are pleased to announce that the residents of Jethou spotted them back in the bay where they were released yesterday afternoon.
On a daily basis GSPCA Shelter staff work with and learn new skills caring for the many animals that come through the Animal Shelter every day, but this week a very different kind of training has taken place.
The GSPCA receive many stray animals every week and with only 40 to 45% of dogs and cats being microchipped or have any identification this means there are many which are we are unable to quickly reunite with their owners.
With over 9 stray tortoise handed in to the GSPCA last year and 20 reported lost this is the first of 2013 to be handed into the GSPCA Animal Shelter.
The GSPCA receive all sorts of animals, reptiles and birds as strays and this tortoise is just one of the more unusual that we see.
We are still looking for the owner of the Bearded Dragon that staff have called Sorrento that was found in Collings Road last week and this hard shelled reptile was found in the Torteval area and if you have lost your tortoise then please get in touch.
Sean Corlett a local author has recently written his first kids book and donated a number to the GSPCA Animal Shelter to help raise funds to help with the development of a Garden of Rest in St Andrews.
The Shelter has work currently ongoing thanks to a grant from the Sure Community Foundation to help landscape an area for owners of animals that sadly died to sit and reflect their beloved pets.
The GSPCA are currently looking for the owner of a lost dragon, a Bearded Dragon that is!
The Bearded Dradon now fondly called Sorrento by the team at the Shelter was found near Collings Road.
He is currently in a vivarium at the GSPCA and if you have lost yours please get in touch on 01481 257261 or pop into the Shelter in St Andrews.
Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager said 'We deal with all sorts of stray animals from Slygo the terrier to the more unusual like Sorrento the Bearded Dragon.'

With Spring comes the growing season and the GSPCA are appealing for funds to help towards a new mower for the Shelter.
With over 3 acres of grounds there is a lot of grass at the Animal Shelter in St Andrews.
We have been offered a fantastic machine for only £350 and we would love it if someone would be kind enough to help towards it.
The machine would be used to cut the fields and grounds where we walk and exercise the dogs as well as the areas where our resident ducks reside on our pond.
