Thank you to all that supported the GSPCA Christmas Pop Up Shop and Late Night Stall on the Pollet during the Thursday nights in the run up to Christmas.
Well over £2,000 was raised between the two and we must thank OSA Recruitment who are based in Smith Street for this wonderful opportunity once again.
Helen Holmes ran the shop and said 'We had all sorts of goodies on sale and even a giant Dulux Old English Sheep Dog on auction, but don't worry he was a cuddly toy.'

The GSPCA team and all the animals would like to wish one and all a Happy New Year.
Unfortunately the New Year and the bad weather over the last few days has certainly not helped many of our feathered friends.
New Years Day Ambulance Collection Officer spent much of the day rescuing injured birds around Guernsey.
These included a Gannet that is now named Balthazar. Balthazar was rescued by ACO Geoff George after being found exhausted and thin near Kings Mill.

Fluke and Barney are two dogs at the GSPCA who are not only needing new and loving homes but both require operations.
Fluke a Jack Russell needs an operation on his leg and Barney a Collie Cross needs a lump removed.
We are hoping to get both dogs in for their operations before Christmas and we are appealing for funds towards their care.
Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager said 'Barney and Fluke are two lovely dogs and we are appealing to anyone that would like to help towards their operations.'

Police are appealing for witnesses or anyone who may have information leading to the identity of the offender(s) in relation to an incident in the Torteval Area which had occurred overnight Tuesday the 10th December 2013 in which a sheep was killed after apparently being run over by a vehicle.
It appears that the vehicle entered the field by driving over an electric fence. Clearly this is a distressing incident for the farmer and appears to be a callous and mindless act of cruelty towards a defenceless animal.
