If a dog poops in the woods & nobody sees it, did it still poop??

Monique from Albany

Yes!!


Not sure about other neighborhoods, but Albany is littered with dog poop - some still lightly steaming when I go for my morning dog walk.


1) Even if it's dark and nobody is around to see - pick up after your dog!
2) to runners who run through parks with un-leashed dogs - your dog is pooping behind you - you know this..you know I know this....but pretend you don't.
3) It doesn't matter if the poop is small ( by doggy standards), it still stinks and still gets stuck between the bumps of shoe soles...or...gag!...between toes.
4) People who don't pick up after their dog has pooped RIGHT on footpaths have reached a new kind of low , they should get THEIR noses rubbed in it!
5) Dog owners are obligated by law to pick up after their dogs. If I have to...surprise!.... so do you. There is a $300 fine if you're caught out.
6) Yes, he/she may be a shiny gift from heaven to you BUT their poop is still full of nasties - stink, viruses, parasites, more stink.


CLEAN UP!

⚠️ DOGS DIE IN HOT CARS. If you love them, don't leave them. ⚠️

The Team from SPCA New Zealand

It's a message we share time and time again, and this year, we're calling on you to help us spread that message further.
Did you know that calls to SPCA about dogs left inside hot cars made up a whopping 11% of all welfare calls last summer? This is a completely preventable issue, and one which is causing hundreds of dogs (often loved pets) to suffer.
Here are some quick facts to share with the dog owners in your life:

👉 The temperature inside a car can heat to over 50°C in less than 15 minutes.
👉 Parking in the shade and cracking windows does little to help on a warm day. Dogs rely on panting to keep cool, which they can't do in a hot car.
👉 This puts dogs at a high risk of heatstroke - a serious condition for dogs, with a mortality rate between 39%-50%.
👉 It is an offence under the Animal Welfare Act to leave a dog in a hot vehicle if they are showing signs of heat stress. You can be fined, and prosecuted.
SPCA has created downloadable resources to help you spread the message even further. Posters, a flyer, and a social media tile can be downloaded from our website here: www.spca.nz...
We encourage you to use these - and ask your local businesses to display the posters if they can. Flyers can be kept in your car and handed out as needed.
This is a community problem, and one we cannot solve alone. Help us to prevent more tragedies this summer by sharing this post.
On behalf of the animals - thank you ❤️
