Spooktastic night at the park with Halloween pooches - thank you to the team at Samaurez Park Tea Rooms & all that supported

Submitted by Steve on 17:36, 2nd Nov, 2015 | 0

Yesterday the GSPCA held first ever Spooky Halloween Sponsored Fancy Dress Dog Walk at Saumarez Park.

The Spooky owners and dogs started arriving around 5pm and were greeted with a few gifts for the owners and some lovely treats for the pooches.

The walk started and finished at the Saumarez Park Tea Rooms and the group set off just after 5.30pm.  After what was a glorious day the sun quickly disappeared as the witches, ghouls, pumpkins and even a hot day set off around the park.

National Black Cat Day - could you help a black cat find its lucky forever home this Halloween

Submitted by Steve on 13:59, 27th Oct, 2015 | 0

Black cats have had a mixed reaction for centuries with many people believing them a bad omen even in 2015.

Today is National Black Cat Day, a day to raise awareness of the many black and white cats waiting for homes in rehoming centres.

At the GSPCA it takes on average much longer for a black cat to find a home

This Halloween there are black cats in many homes in Guernsey, but the GSPCA have more black cats than any other at the Animal Shelter.

At the GSPCA 50% of the cats are black or black and white that are in for rehoming, welfare reasons or stray.

It is with a very sad heart the GSPCA bring this message of the loss of one of our team.

One of the senior and longest standing members of staff at the GSPCA 'Richard Chandler' passed away recently and has left the team at the Shelter deeply saddened.

Richard was a wonderful man, who passionately cared for the Shelter and the team at the GSPCA and he will be sorely missed by all.

Puppy picture time at the GSPCA

Today we would like to extend a huge thank you to Liz Kerr who popped in to take professional group pictures of 24 of the 25 Slovakian puppies with the team and volunteers at the GSPCA.

One pup was out on foster, but the other 24 joined GSPCA staff and volunteers for their first family picture in a group.

The puppies which have been in the GSPCA care for over 7 weeks are very soon to be officially rehomed and the team have been working through the hundreds of inquiries and applications.

Submitted by Steve on 23:07, 21st Oct, 2015 | 0

Today 6 staff from The Travel Corporation joined the team at the GSPCA and gave up a day in the office to help out.

The team of staff  arrived at 9am where they received a short induction before helping around site with the 300 animals at the Shelter in St Andrews and a mountain of donations.

A number of the group were versed in helping at the GSPCA after helping last and earlier this year so had a grasp on many of the roles but all were surprised with what they got to do.

At the GSPCA we clean out and care for 300 animals every day and you can now buy one of the leading disinfectants that we use at the Shelter.

To ensure we can thoroughly disinfect the animal accommodation’s at the GSPCA we use Angiene HLD4V High Level Surface Disinfectant made by Medi-Mark.

On sale at reception we have 1 litre self dosing at £9.10 and 5 litre containers for £20.33, but we do have 20 litre drums on request.

We also have odour eliminator sprays on sale for those owners with the fragrant pet.

Baby Barn Owl back in the wild

Submitted by Steve on 19:42, 20th Oct, 2015 | 0

Back in late July the GSPCA Ambulance Collection Officer Geoff George helped rescue a baby Barn Owl in Castel.

The young bird was severely thin and very close to loosing her life.

Thankfully with the skills of the team at the GSPCA and an intensive care unit the young bird was saved and nursed back to health.

After a period inside she was transferred to an outside aviary where she learnt to fly and forage for food.

As she grew stronger and her weight increased the GSPCA team monitored her progress with a wildlife camera.
