Tomorrow may well be a day off for many but at the GPSCA we have a busy day not only looking after 500+ animals and running two fund raising stalls in St Peter Port and St Andrews as well as running our ambulance, we will also be holding our fifth volunteer induction for those interested in helping at 630pm with GSPCA Manager Steve Byrne.
Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager said “So far this year we have inducted 63 new volunteers through the induction evenings.”
Tomorrow around Guernsey we will be celebrating Liberation Day on Thursday 9th May and as part of the many celebrations the GSPCA will be out with our stalls in town and in St Andrews.
GSPCA Manager Steve Byrne will be manning a stall on Castle Emplacement in town and setting up from 7am and Michelle Champion will be at the Last Post from 10am setting up with both stalls packing up around 530pm.
Earlier this year the GSPCA Manager Steve Byrne celebrated his 40th year and helped raise funds for the GSPCA instead of cards and gifts.
Steve at the time decided that he had put on a little weight in recent years so made the decision to get fit and run the Guernsey Dairy Milk Run Half Marathon.

The GSPCA has recently seen a huge rise in the numbers of rabbits coming into our care.
With 25 rabbits looking for new homes and many more coming in over the next few days Easter was certainly a busy time at the GSPCA for those that care for the rabbits.
Many of the GSPCA rabbits looking for homes are now outside on our Bunny Hop Hill and we are not only appealing for new homes for those in our care but we are also appealing for funds to help build new enclosures for the rabbits at the GSPCA.
With Spring well underway the GSPCA are asking Islanders to please be mindful of the many fledglings popping up around the Bailiwick.
The GSPCA would like to remind that as a general rule, it is best to leave baby birds alone.
A baby bird has a greater chance of survival in the wild than it has being hand-reared by man as they learn to fend for themselves and how to forage for food by their parents.
Around 2 weeks after hatching young birds in your Bailiwick garden usually leave the nest, just before they learn how to fly.
Last Wednesday the GSPCA had a very special visit from Baroness Fookes DBE DL.
Baroness Janet Eveyln Fookes, DBE DL is a member of the House of Lords as well as an honorary Vice President of the RSPCA.
Baroness Fookes had a behind the scenes tour at the GSPCA meeting many of the team, animals and with an entourage from the media.
Baroness Fookes was accompanied by her good friend Madeline Dawson and they both thoroughly enjoyed their visit with their guide Steve Byrne the GSPCA Manager.
With just over a month to go the GSPCA are busy preparing for the eighth Animal Welfare Seafront Sunday.
With Crown Princess with possibly 3000 passengers visiting it is set to be a busy day on the 26th May.
We are more than happy if any stalls or buskers would like to join us and if you are interested in supporting our day to celebrate animals in Guernsey please do get in touch.
After months of care and with good weather on our site the GSPCA released Marty the Jersey seal pup back in the wild today and it was without doubt one of the best releases ever for the GSPCA team.
This Winter has been exceptionally busy for seal pups at the GSPCA as up until this morning we have had 6 in our care but thanks to a lovely Jersey family and their boat Marty is now back in the wild.
Marty arrived at the GSPCA on the 17th December just a week before Christmas last year weighing just 18kg when he should have been 40kg.
On Tuesday evening Canine Behaviour Guernsey held a Puppy Seminar for GSPCA team members after the working day.
