This afternoon the GSPCA were called to the offices of Carey Olsen for a stray budgie.
When we arrived the budgie was in fact a canary, but the kind staff had managed to safely catch the lost bird and call the team at the GSPCA.

Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager said “Around lunch time today we had an emergency call at the GSPCA to what was reported as a stray budgie.”
This evening the GSPCA was called out to what was reported as an extremely large lizard.
As we were unsure what to expect both Rescue Officers Geoff George and Neil Hughes attended the scene to discover what is indeed an extremely large lizard.
Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager said “Around 430pm this afternoon we had an emergency call at the GSPCA to what was reported as an extremely large lizard.”

On the 21st July the GSPCA were called out to the Dragon Chinese Takeaway on the Bridge as they had found a stray snake.
The corn snake was in good health and transported to the GSPCA where we made it comfortable in one of our vivarium’s and put an appeal out for an owner.
That day we found the owner and later that evening they were reunited.
Geoff George GSPCA Animal Collection Officer said “On the afternoon of Thursday 21st July was called out to rescue a stray snake in St Sampsons.”
Today marks 5 and a half weeks since a stray parrot was found and rescued in Vazon.
The very friendly adult Senegal Parrot arrived on the 25th June after being rescued by a member of the public and the GSPCA team are really shocked that an owner hasn’t come forward.
We are appealing for any information if you think you know the owner or if they are your birds please call the GSPCA on 257261.
It currently seems very busy with stray pet birds and we currently have 4 that we are appealing for owners to come forward.

On Thursday 13th January 2022 Dora a medium sized cross breed dog managed to escape and decided to go for bit of a walk about.
Dora was originally lost near Amherst School.
From there she went on bit of an adventure and evaded being caught for nearly two weeks.
The GSPCA had many reports in many Parishes and we know she seemed to enjoy her time in St Andrews and Castel where we believe she was for much of the time she was missing.
We were pretty confident she was between Talbot Valley and Beaucamps for much of the last few days she was stray.
We are pleased to announce we have a good idea where Dora is sleeping and the area she is in and a member of the team has videoed her from a safe distance and we are putting a plan in place which includes helping the owner with a trap and camera.
It is really important not to scare her from this area so please DO NOT go out in search of her. If you do see her please stay well back and call us immediately on 01481 257261 and choose the emergency number.
She is very timid and nervous of other dogs and won’t come for food or toys.
On Thursday last week a medium sized grey cross breed dog called Dora went missing in the Amherst School area wearing a blue vest.
