Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager said “The GSPCA is currently in the process of its BIGGEST Build in our history.
Not only is it our 150th year we are currently trying to ensure the future for the GSPCA.
Ahead of the Wildlife Hospital Build we are currently building a Small Animal, Reptile and Bird Unit, the first of its kind at the GSPCA and essential before we push forward to build the Wildlife Hospital as the buildings they are in currently will be and need to be removed due to their condition and age.
The 20th Torteval Scarecrow Festival took place on Saturday 29th and Sunday 30th July 2023.
The GSPCA have been supporting the Torteval Scarecrow Festival since 2015 and this year was the first time we have been in the winners line up.

For the first time the GSPCA were asked to run a Fun Dog Show at the South Show on Saturday.
The South Show hasn’t been out in the field for a few years and with a dry day hundreds came along to enjoy the activities and nearly 40 dogs join in with the Fun Dog Show which took place at 2pm.
The winners were –
Best male puppy (under 2yrs)
1st Milo the Labrador with owner Bene Griffins
2nd Murphy the Springer Spaniel with owner Chantelle de la Mare
3rd Loki the Maremma Sheepdog with owners Steph and Adam
