We love to hear how the animals are doing which were adopted from the GSPCA and this week we hear about Harry the yorkie.
Harrys owner said “It is 9 months since we adopted Harry. He has settled in really well.”
“He has 2 or 3 walks a day, we built up gradually from short to now an hour long in the afternoon.”
“He is very affectionate, sleeps most of the night on our bed, the rest in his bed.”
“He has much improved in attitude to other dogs, with the help of a few treats!”
“We are very happy with him and he with us.”
“It is great to see him sniffing hedges etc on walks, at first he just walked and walked!”
Seb Goman GSPCA Animal Care Assistant said “It’s so lovely to hear Harry is doing so well in his new home.”
“We see all sorts of dogs come into our care from those needing homes like Harry to those that board with us, strays to cruelty cases and it is always great to hear they are doing well.”
“We have a waiting list for those looking to adopt dogs but we have many other animals in need such as older cats, degus, rabbits, fish, turtles, ferrets, cats, hamsters, a parrot, cockerels and other animals in need of homes.”

Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager said “It is amazing to see the wonderful pictures of Harry, he looks incredibly happy and thank you to her owner for sending in the wonderful pictures.”
“Adoption forms are online for anyone looking to adopt an animal from the GSPCA or can be completed at our reception desk and many of the animals in need of homes can be seen online.”

“For those completing and sending in an application form we do ask applicants to please be patient as we are very busy and resources are stretched but we will respond to applicants as soon as we can.”
“We have some cats ready for homes but they are mostly older or have medical issues at present but we do have some under care and will hopefully be ready soon.”
“We also have many other animals in need from 12 degus to 27 rabbits and even fish and musk turtles.”
“Please remember if you live in rented accommodation or States Housing you need to ensure you have written permission and to see the States Housing procedure please go to https://www.gov.gg/article/119684/Family--Pets .”
“To see some of the animals looking for homes at the GSPCA Animal Shelter please watch our Social Media pages or go to http://www.gspca.org.gg/animals. ”
“Animals come into the Shelter for all sorts of reasons and we have to ensure each is suited to a home that can meet its needs.”
“The GSPCA is a self-supporting Guernsey charity and we depend on the people of the Island for the funding needed, more so now than ever to maintain our work for the animal welfare and rescue work that is carried out 24 hours 7 days a week.”
