At the GSPCA we are normally appealing for homes for animals, but we are currently appealing for your unwanted soft toys.

The cuddly toys we are appealing for will found good homes as prizes on some of our games to help raise funds for the Shelter such as our upcoming Animal Welfare Seafront Sunday.

If you have any unwanted soft toys then please pop them up to the Shelter or if you need a vehicle to pick up quite a few then please let us know and we can arrange collection.

Submitted by Steve on 09:23, 16th May, 2017 | 0

In the middle of Winter on the 4th January a very thin unwell hedgehog was rescued in the grounds at Government House.

The hedgehog which has been called ‘Governor’ has made huge improvements and as he has now reached a healthy release weight.
