Submitted by Steve on 17:26, 30th Nov, 2015 | 0

Last week Ella Gidney and a group of her friends came along to the GSPCA for a Birthday guided tour.

Ella who has just turned 10 years of age got a very special behind the scenes tour with her friends at the Shelter in St Andrews.

On requests we will arrange a special tour for a minimum donation and last week Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager took the group around the site.

From seeing our resident tortoise to stroking Monkey a diabetic cat the girls all had a lovely evening.

Submitted by Steve on 14:39, 30th Nov, 2015 | 0

One of the BIGGEST cases in our long history happened this year when 25 puppies which were from Slovakia were stopped at the harbour in very concerning conditions and were headed for the UK.

Shortly after we found out that all pups were to stay in Guernsey and be rehomed locally, photographer Liz Kerr came in to take a few pictures and has kindly put together a calendar for 2016 to raise funds for the GSPCA to help the hundreds of animals currently in our care.

2016 calendars starring the Slovakian puppies cost just £15 each.
