Today at the GSPCA wee received two wonderful new scanners from the Pet Technology Store.
We would like to thank this local company for supporting the Shelter and the work that we do and these wonderful scanners will help us in reuniting the many stray animals we see every week and with checking the Hedgehogs we have in at the GSPCA.
At the GSPCA we have been encouraging pet owners for nearly two decades to get their canine and feline pets microchipped.
In the very early hours of Tuesday morning a member of staff at the Harbour Authority spotted a bird struggling trapped in a pontoon that was close to drowning.
Thankfully he managed to stretch out to rescue the bird and rushed it straight to the GSPCA Animal Shelter.
The Shelter is manned 24 hours and on arrival Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager was there to accept the bird that was very close to death.
An intensive care unit was set up ready and Steve did what he could to try and get some of the fluid out of the bird.
On Sunday 22nd September Sidney’s Sponsored Events and the GSPCA are arranging a Sponsored Walk.
Meeting in Reservoir Rue Des Annevilles Car Park at 10am and finishing in Reservoir Rue A L’OR Car Park the walk around the Reservoir will have a Reservoir theme and we'd love to see you and your dog(s) all kitted out to make for a fun Sunday morning.
Don't worry if you or your dog don't want to dress up to be involved in raising funds for local animals is what it is all about.
Lamar would like to thank the very kind person that has provided him with his cat grass from our Wish List.
We have had another fantastic week of gifts from waterproof cameras to take pictures of the animals to meal worms for the hedgehogs and birds.
Last Wednesday we had our second Volunteer Induction Evening which was even more popular than the first.
With 24 in attendance and 18 wanting to sign up as volunteers the GSPCA welcomed the group into the family.
From those wanting to help muck out to those wanting to fund raise they arrived and were welcomed at the Shelter before having a presentation and talk about the work we carry out as well as an Induction to enable them to work safely at the Shelter and during our events.
On Saturday Roy Cochrane held a talk and slide show at Les Coutils about Guernsey Changes.
Over 40 tickets were sold and all enjoyed a cream tea as well as a raffle.
Yvonne Chauvel Senior Animal Care Assistant popped down from the GSPCA said 'What a lovely afternoon.'
'Roy did a great talk and we are extremely grateful to him for donating the proceeds from the day to the GSPCA.'
The Guernsey Cheshire Home & The Guernsey MS Society once again teamed up to host the 2013 Guernsey It's A Knockout on Saturday 20th July 2013 in Saumarez Park.
GSPCA Volunteers Jo Fox, Darren Monday and GSPCA Manager Steve Byrne with dogs Toby and Katie attended the fantastic event to help raise funds for the Animal Shelter.
