SPCA Op Shop Callout
Hello Neighbours.
The sun is shining and it's the perfect time for a bit of spring cleaning and decluttering before the holiday season which will be upon us before we know it. The SPCA is always in need of good clean sellable items for our op shop in Browns Bay. We need lot's of summer clothing for adults and kids, and we are always in need of books, cd's, dvd's kitchenware (especially cutlery) and general bric a brac and knick knacks. We also take furniture which can be picked up from you. All profits from our store go directly to helping the animals and with the kitten season looming the SPCA needs all the help they can get. We are very lucky to have so many animal lovers who support us on the Norh Shore. We are extremely grateful to you all. Our efforts would not be possible without you. If you would like to help out please feel free to phone us

Thank You

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