and online . . .

Gaetane

This website would never have seen the light of day if it were not for French woman Gaetane Rauch. Gaetane came over from France a few years ago and worked with us in the sanctuary. As a web designer she offered to put a new web site together for us and so www.galway-spca was born. Gaetane designed and updated it while she lived in Ireland and continued to do so when she returned to Rennes.

As her work load has increased she was finding it harder to get the time to keep us going so and as luck would have it Adrienne came into our live's and surprise surprise she too was a web mistress . So she worked with Gaetane and has now taken over the web for us.

'Marii'

'Marii' as she is known on bebo, is a moderator for the Galway-spca group, join in and 'Share the Luv' for gspca.
Well done to Marii. Meet you all there!!

Adrienne has been taking care of things online since June '07, and is also the proud pet parent to Reggie, a Heathlawn terrier, and Bonnie, a holy terror.

Update on Missy's gang

 

Tomaz

Tomaz came in after coming second best to a car. His injuries were pretty severe and he lost a back leg and tail and most of his toe nails.

Today he is well on the way to recovery and enjoying life in a foster home.

Phoebe's Story

sam before
sam before
sam before This is Phoebe who sadly lost her kits in the early stage of her pregnancy. As you can see from these pictures the sadness in her eyes tells the whole story of her loss. She was looking for her kittens and calling them today. And when she wasn't able to find them she spotted Sandy and "adopted" her immediately. Look at them in those pictures - beautiful photos but when you know what's behind them, they make us cry knowing how she feels and we can do nothing but love her.

Given the GSPCA treatment

We think all of our animals are lovely, but some don't arrive in such good condition. Here are some photographs showing how we've helped restore dignity to those that needed our love and attention, so that they can be adopted and live long and happy lives.
