Just before Christmas the GSPCA received a wonderful selection of donations from Hautes Capelles Primary School.
Karen Fyfe Assistant Headteacher, Inclusion Lead and SENCo from Hautes Capelles Primary School said “The pupils of Hautes Capelles Rights Respecting and pupil voice team asked the House teams to vote for which charities to support at Christmas.
The GSPCA wants to let all dog owners know that what we believe is Palm Oil spotted at Grand Rocque and Saline Bay which can be extremely poisonous to your dogs.
Last month the States of Guernsey reported on their facebook page ‘We've received a report that palm oil has washed up at Pembroke.
If you notice any grey, cream or white fatty substances, please do not remove the substance, but report it to Agriculture, Countryside and Land Management Services by emailing [email protected] or calling 01481 227000.
On Tuesday evening the 5th Guernsey Cub troop visited the GSPCA.
Sadly it was dark and a little wet but the 36 strong troop made up ofCiubs and Leaders arrived at 630pm where they were greeted by GSPCA Manager Steve Byrne.
Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager said “It was lovely to meet the 5th Guernsey Cub group on Tuesday.”
“They arrived baring of animal feed and treats and even other donations which we have to say a huge thank you for.”
Lucy and friends have decided to Race The Mile with the Sure Marathon to raise funds for the GSPCA because they love animals and wish all to be looked after.

We celebrate our 150 year history this year and we couldn’t do so much without our incredible team of staff, volunteers and supporters.
Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager said “We have never been so busy as we have been in current years and with plans of new builds to meeting every day demands we are currently recruiting for additional team members at the GSPCA.”
“Sadly some of our fantastic staff are off for new adventures and we are looking to recruit those keen to help animals, make a difference and support our community.”
The GSPCA would like to warn visitors that on Friday the 3rd March 2023 we have essential repairs taking place in our main car park.
This will mean those using the back car park will likely be trapped if parked there before 8am until 11am when the work is completed.
We apologise for the disruption and endeavour to keep the challenges to a minimum.
