Submitted by Steve on 13:17, 30th Apr, 2015 | 0

Last night 23 young boys and girls from the 4th Guernsey Beavers visited the GSPCA to see behind the scenes at the Animal Shelter in St Andrews.

On a sunny evening they arrived for a 6pm tour with GSPCA Manager Steve Byrne who took a group photo of the troop before showing them around the site where they got to see baby birds being fed, hedgehogs, bunnies, our resident tortoise, a puppy and much more.

They learnt how we care for the animals at the GSPCA and the work that is carried out 24 hours 7 days a week.
