Animal charity makes way for new kennels

An animal charity has demolished a series of buildings as part of its expansion plans.

The GSPCA has pulled down structures that housed its cattery, small animal areas, dog grooming space, staff room and laundry for the past 40 years.

The charity has planned to replace these buildings with a 12-kennel facility designed to house dogs in isolation, abused and stray dogs and those waiting to be adopted.

The new section will also include a laundry and dog grooming area which manager Steve Byrne said would ensure "every animal receives the care and dignity they deserve".

Also under construction is a wildlife hospital which will provide specialist care for Guernsey's injured, orphaned and endangered wildlife.

Mr Byrne said the charity had raised £1.5m so far towards the construction but needed a further £2.2m to complete the projects for November 2026.
