Damaged drawers and storage shelves
Hi good evening another little something i need to get rid of , my partner recently sat on the top bit much to his dismay couldn't hold his weight . So have this movable black shelf that I need gone . If you are a handy person 😜 or someone who knows how to change things fix things make things , this would be a great idea to start . I brought this second hand , and my assumption is this was actually two shelves put onto wheels and a piece of ply at the bottom to make it one .. if you want it we are located in kelston. I'll keep untill someone wants it.
Also the drawers are broken , each shelving parts are here but they have come off all together so the slides the drawers , the handles .. the bases .. they all need to be fixed or replaced . However old style I'd really like but don't have the tools, time and materials to upgrade these old fashioned drawers.
⚠️ 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 ❤️
