Today 7 guinea pigs were found abandoned outside St Martins Church.

All quite young the 7 guinea pigs were found in a very dirty blue box.

This is the second group of guinea pigs that have been found abandoned inn Guernsey in the last month.  Thankfully both groups were found and were brought into the Shelter but the GSPCA would urge anyone that needs to rehome their pets and not to dump them as it puts them at risk.

Rabbits about to have a much better life thanks to a very kind lady and KPMG volunteers

Submitted by GSPCA on 11:22, 2nd Aug, 2012 | 0

Watch this space for some very exciting news……..

After a very kind donation of £2000 the GSPCA Animal Shelter will soon havi it’s very own rabbit village.

Volunteers from KPMG have given two days of work time to come along to the GSPCA Shelter in St Andrews to help give some extra protection to 15 large rabbit hutches before they are built.

The £2000 has meant the Shelter could purchase a number of very large outdoor enclosures to give the many rabbits as well as a few other residents a much better quality of life whilst they are waiting for new homes.
