Submitted by Steve on 17:00, 17th Sep, 2014 | 0

On Sunday 14th September the GSPCA held our third Animal Welfare Seafront Sunday in St Peter Port and what a fantastic day it was.

Stall holders started arriving from 7am and with the road closing at 8am the set up began.

Although a little breezy the sun was shining and the weather was just right for an outside event.

At 9.40am the Battle of Britain marched through with a great group of spectators and they were inspected outside the Town Church by the Lieutenant Governor and Deputy Bailiff which started the day in a wonderful way.

Stunning Kingfisher rescued only 2 days early for the Animal Welfare Seafront Sunday 14th September

Submitted by Steve on 14:37, 12th Sep, 2014 | 0

Earlier today the GSPCA were called out to rescue one of the most regal and stunning of birds in Guernsey.

Animal Collection Officer Geoff George was called out to the Model Yacht Pond which is renowned for sea birds such as Gulls, but was faced with a much more unusual feathered bird.

The bird he was called to rescue was none other than a female kingfisher.

The bird has been rehydrated and seems in reasonable health but Shelter staff have now made her comfortable at the GSPCA.

Cuddly toy appeal - GSPCA appeal for soft toys for our BIGGEST event of the year - Animal Welfare Seafront Sunday 14th September

Submitted by Steve on 17:12, 3rd Sep, 2014 | 0

At the GSPCA we are normally appealing for homes for animals, but we are currently appealing for your unwanted soft toys.

After a very busy summer fund raising at many events we are running low on cuddly toys which we use as prizes on some of our games to help raise funds for the Shelter.

If you have any unwanted soft toys then please pop them up to the Shelter or if you need a vehicle to pick up quite a few then please let us know and we can arrange collection.
