Submitted by Steve on 10:18, 18th Apr, 2015 | 0

On Wednesday the team at the GSPCA were handed a shelled stray.

'Penny' as staff and volunteers have named the female, adult Herman's tortoise was found on Epinel Road in St. Sampsons.

Each year we see around 30 stray tortoise handed into the GSPCA and we find the owners for nearly every one.

Thankfully she is safe and warm at the GSPCA, but we are appealing for the owner to come forward.

If you think that this may be your lost tortoise then please call the GSPCA on 257261 or pop into the Animal Shelter in St Andrews.

Appeal to help with our broken sewage pump

Submitted by Steve on 09:43, 1st Apr, 2015 | 0

At the GSPCA with 200 to 300 animals in our care which do produce rather a lot of waste and we are continually working to improve and maintain our facilities.

Currently we are replacing 5 of our very old buildings with our new multi purpose animal welfare building, but we continue to have to repair and maintain the site where the many animals are kept and the services to them.

On the weekend our sewage pump failed which serves the many buildings on site and we are currently appealing for funds to help us repair this essential service.
