GSPCA Animal Shelter

The GSPCA Animal Shelter has been nominated for the Emergency Hero of the Year award, sponsored by MSG.

The GSPCA is the island’s main animal rescue centre, helping every type of animal day and night from birds to seals, from hedgehogs to cats.

The GSPCA has been active on the island for 150 years.

Over all those years the animal rescue service has been dedicated to helping the animals and the community.

‘Without the GSPCA the wildlife would be a lot worse and much less diverse,’ its nominator said, who wishes to remain anonymous.

‘We’re very pleased and proud, we do what we can,’ the shelter said in response.

The team at the GSPCA works together seven days a week to make sure every animal gets the care it deserves.

‘The GSPCA impacts the island whether it’s learning about animals or sending messages out about animal welfare,’ said the nomination.

The huge number of 'heroes' who work at the GSPCA 'has created an organisation unlike any other'.

Both staff and volunteers do a fantastic job everyday with every animal.

‘It’s a magical place really,’ the shelter said.

'The GSPCA is a lovely place to work, full of animals and incredible staff.

‘The impact of the GSPCA affects everyone, even if they don’t know.’
