Submitted by Steve on 10:28, 25th May, 2016 | 0

The GSPCA would like to say a big thank you to Burns Pet Foods.

Burns Pet Food uses the minimum of ingredients to produce maximum benefits for dogs, cats or rabbits. Developed by veterinary surgeon John Burns in 1993, it’s just simple, nutritious, easy to digest food for all life stages. It makes pets happy and healthy inside and out and is hypo-allergenic to suit the most sensitive stomachs.

Just before Christmas Burns Pet Foods donated a pallet full of their wonderful food which over the last few months we have used to feed the many dogs in our care.

Submitted by Steve on 23:02, 24th May, 2016 | 0

Next week marks Volunteers Week a time when many organisations and groups highlight the opportunities and thank their volunteers for their amazing support and time across Guernsey and the UK.

The GSPCA couldn't achieve all of the work that is carried our 24/7 without the 600+ volunteers that help at the Shelter and with all of our work across Guernsey.

Next Wednesday during Volunteers Week we will be holding our sixth volunteer induction of 2016.

We are blessed with many volunteers helping the GSPCA every year and on average over 100 every single week.
