Not got a dog or can't bring it down on the 15th September or you have other pets at home then this is your chance to take part in a show without the need to bring them along.
We are asking pet owners to take pictures of their pets and for 50p per entry per class you can enter your cat, rabbit, horse, donkey, stick insect, tortoise, whatever it may be into a virtual pet show..
On the 14th and 15th August the GSPCA were lucky enough to have help from KPMG staff.
In two groups the staff helped on site at the Animal Shelter in St Andrews and with the Stall at the West Show.
From cleaning out the Animals to dressing up as Giant Animals at the West Show the team from KPMG helped with all matters of tasks.
This year we have seen 13 stray tortoise and currently we have 2 at the Shelter.
All 11 that came in earlier in the year are back with their owners but Ridley as he's been named above by Shelter staff and Fabian below both came in last week.
Ridley was found in the Camp du Roi area and Fabian was found at L'Ancresse.
Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager said 'This year we have seen more stray Tortoise than ever before.'
'If anyone has lost any pet we always urge them to report it at the Shelter as we see anywhere between 50 and sometimes over 100 stray animals every month.'
Tomorrow which is Saturday the 31st August the GSPCA will be collecting at our last two locations for the last part of our annual Flag Day.
Many of the spots at the two Marks and Spencer stores are filled but we welcome anyone that can and would like to help.
The two locations are -
If you can help please call me at the Shelter today on 257261.

Whether your a business with a keen staff member or just chatting to your friends down the pub its a great race, raising funds to help animals in Guernsey.
This morning the GSPCA had a call about a stray Snake in the St Peter Port area.
Animal Collection Officer Geoff George before he started his shift had a call to help with a rescue of a Snake.
Geoff made his way to First Tower Lane where he found the Albino Corn Snake.
He quickly secured it and it is now back at the GSPCA Animal Shelter in St Andrews, Guernsey.
Geoff George said 'The Albino Corn Snake I rescued this morning seems very well and is fine to handle.'
