With less than a month to go the GSPCA are busy preparing for the ninth Animal Welfare Seafront Sunday.

In recent years we have seen just over 100 stalls at our biggest event of the year but with 100 already booked in it looks like it will be the BIGGEST yet.

We would be delighted if any other stalls or buskers would like to join us to help celebrate animals in Guernsey.

Please sponsor Charlotte and Joe running the Butterfield Half Marathon in aid of the rabbits at the GSPCA

Submitted by Steve on 14:42, 12th Aug, 2020 | 0

We are so incredibly grateful to all those that raise funds for the many animals in our care.

Here are a few words from one of our team members at the GSPCA who is running to help with new rabbit accommodation at the GSPCA.

Charlotte Perry said “At the GSPCA we haven't been able to focus on replacing our hutches, with the issues surrounding Covid-19 being a priority.”

“However, with the increase of rabbits, it means we need more hutches to accommodate the influx.”

Can your team take the trophy off the Plough Inn?

Once again we will be holding a Giant Animal Mascot event as part of our Animal Welfare Seafront Sunday celebrations.

This is open to mascots and individuals prepared to dress as an animal and play a fun football game with a rather over sized ball.    

We are asking businesses, pubs, individuals or anyone as a team of 5 or an individual and we can make extra teams on the day.

Don't worry about what to wear we will provide the Giant Animal Mascot suit and have over 70 available to choose from.

Record breaking numbers of hedgehogs rescued in Guernsey

Submitted by Steve on 11:47, 12th Aug, 2020 | 0

Last year the GSPCA saw a record breaking 618 hedgehogs come through the doors and 2020 is set to be even busier.

Between the 1st January 2019 and 12th August 2019 we saw 330 hedgehogs which was a record in our 147 year history and this year between the same period we have already had 399 hedgehogs arrive meaning it looks like another record breaking year for hedgehog numbers.

Despite lockdown the GSPCA has been incredibly busy and especially with wild animals.
