Today we are excited to be launching our GSPCA Virtual Pet show in conjunction with Pukka Tukka for Pets limited.

Absolutely any kind of pet can be entered into the contest including dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, gerbils, hamsters, lizards, snakes, fish, tortoises, chinchillas, ferrets, horses, goats and any other animal that you own as a pet. We will also have a wildlife class and a special memorial class for those friends who are no longer with us.

Entries will be taken from Friday 5th July until Wednesday 31st July. Winners will be announced on Monday 12th August via our Facebook page. Winners of each category will receive a goodie bag which will include: a rosette, certificate, GSPCA merch and a special gift for your pet, the wildlife in your garden or in memory of those no longer with us; kindly donated by Sam and her best friend Nell from Pukka Tukka.

Our class list:

1. Happiest pet(s) - let’s see your pet at its happiest; in the mud, eating dinner, making a mess!

2. Family selfie - as important members of the family, pets bring us so much joy. We'd love to see your family.

3. Animals in action - whatever your pet enjoys doing we'd love to see them; jumping, digging, running, flying, swimming

4. Sleeping pets – and relax.

5. Magazine cover model - photos that would make the front cover of a magazine; all of our pets are superstars.

6. Red carpet reptiles - let's not forget the reptiles in our lives

7. Pet most like its owner – funny how we end up looking like our pets

8. Cheekiest pet (s) – show us your mischievous little angels.

9. Wildlife in the home / garden - this can include any species; birds, spiders, snails, anything at all!

10. Gone but not forgotten - in memory of much loved but lost pets. The friends that have passed but never leave our hearts.
