Guernsey Animal Aid to close down

Guernsey Animal Aid has been rescuing animals for 25 years on the island

Guernsey Animal Aid will close down, its founder has announced.

The charity said the decision had come with "great sadness" and that it would donate any remaining funds to other registered animal charities.

Founder Sue Vidamour said she was proud of what the charity had achieved in the last 25 years but was now "disillusioned".

The charity is expected to have closed its doors for good by Christmas.

Any animals still with the charity will be rehomed it has said

"We are not going to take in any more animals and that's going to be the hardest thing for me, I have never said no," Ms Vidamour said.

She said when the last animal had been rehomed they would close.

"A special thanks also to the team of volunteers, who have worked tirelessly to look after hundreds of animals in need," Ms Vidamour added.

Steve Byrne from the GSPCA said: "It's really sad to hear recently that Guernsey Animal Aid is closing down after 25 years on the island.

"Any organisation that helps animal welfare on the island is hugely appreciated by us."
