Every year the GSPCA are called out and receive stray dogs and cats during the firework period that have either escaped or run off due to being scared by the loud bangs they make.
Sadly less than 45% of the stray dogs and cats are microchipped that are found as strays and brought to the GSPCA, and even less have collars with tags.
For the third year the GSPCA has tickets for the Channel Islands Christmas Lottery on sale at the Animal Shelter reception desk.
The 2014 tickets which are only £2 each are on sale and each have two numbers on and a scratch card section.
Jeremy the Lop Eared Bunny modeling the tickets pictured is looking for a new home and is just one of the many animals you would help by purchasing your tickets from the Animal Shelter.
Profits from the lottery, which is due to be drawn on 18th December 2014.
Last night at the GSPCA we held another Volunteer Induction Evening and were pleased to welcome 14 new volunteers to the team.
Three were interested in volunteering as part of their Duke of Edinburgh, 3 for their work experience in school and 8 individuals looking to help with everything from events to walking the dogs.
Emma Trousdale GSPCA Staff Member inducted the group by talking about the work of the GSPCA, volunteering at the Shelter and also a safety induction.

With the 5th November only two weeks away it is time to consider the pets in your household.
Every year during periods when fireworks are used many animals across Guernsey can become distressed and there are a number of precautions you can take to help ensure that you help settle your pets.

Although in Guernsey we seem to be well into Autumn young animals are still being found.
Only in the last few days a very young feral kitten has been found in the Admiral Park area.
The 10 week old male kitten which was found late on Friday night was full of worms and fleas and is extremely timid and nervous.
Habitat loss and the threat of extinction are significant concerns in the world of reptillian life.
Reptile Day promotes awareness of all things reptillian, encouraging learning about different types of reptiles, their natural environments and ecological challenges.
At the GSPCA we rescue, reunite, rehabilitate and rehome reptiles of all descriptions.
In the last year we have seen snakes to tortoise, turtle to lizards, terrapins and others some of which have been wild and others captive.
Only last week the Teenage Ninja Mutant Turtle Movie was released.
At the GSPCA we feel education has a huge part to play in the world we live and knowing what to do whether helping at the GSPCA, at home or in your work place is extremely important.
This Wednesday we have a Volunteer Induction Evening. If you are interested in helping the GSPCA then we ask for you to pop along at 6.30pm to find out about the GSPCA and a short safety induction. The evening takes around 90 minutes and is at the Animal Shelter in St Andrews.
On sale at the GSPCA we have a new range of bugs.
You may have seen over the summer the dog, cat and rabbit bugs with GSPCA details on the tail. We now have a new range for only £1 each at the GSPCA reception.
The new bugs include a new colour dog, bat, penguin, owl, cow, pig, horse, duck and new bunny design.
If you would like to pick up one of the new bugs from the GSPCA shop then it is open 9am until 5pm Monday to Saturday, closed all day Sunday.
They will also be on sale at many of our events.
