On Monday the first ever off site GSPCA Charity Shop opened its doors.
Many will be aware that during covid we had to close the onsite charity shop at the GSPCA for a number of reasons which includes it is being transformed into a small animal unit.
The shop, headed up by Michelle Champion and her great team of volunteers has had a fantastic first week and lots of kind and positive feedback.
The shop is located next to Fillers and some may remember it as the Christian Aid or Oxfam shop.

India the Guernsey seal pup who was rescued in March and Joey the Jersey seal pup rescued in November have finally had the all clear from the vets, their weights at a great release weight and we have good weather so we are planning to release the seal pups at a secret location this week.
Thanks to the huge efforts of Geoff George and the team the seal pups who were so thin and unwell on arrival are finally off back to the wild where they belong.
Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager said “India and Joey the seal pups are ready to be released back to where they belong.”

With hot weather the GSPCA always receives calls and reports from the public that have seen dogs locked in cars, dogs being walked on hot pavements, animals in direct sunlight and we want to remind all pet owners of the real dangers to their pets.
With the warm weather and direct sunlight, dogs and other animals whether in cars or their pens are potentially in a situation where you could kill your pet if it is left, regardless of the situation.

At the GSPCA we have offered microchipping for your cat, rabbit or dog for only £4.99 for nearly 10 years.
Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager said “The GSPCA helps over 1500 domestic animals every year and sadly only 80% of dogs and cats are microchipped meaning of the 200 stray dogs and 3-400 stray cats we help we struggle with many to quickly identify owners and some of the microchip details aren’t up to date.”
