Enhance your Outdoor Space!
Colored and styled rugs for every room in the house! Why not for the outdoor spaces? Our collection of designed rugs from indoor to outdoor is what you are looking for. As weather changes and moves from winter to summer many of us like to enjoy summer mornings and evening hangouts sitting on the porch, deck or backyard. Adding a fashionable element seems difficult but it is not! From laidback to urban cool, add a splash just like an indoor area rug that can enhance the outlook of outdoor space as it has a character and style which can be added to even a smallest space.
When talking about outdoor space many of us just think about welcome mats, nothing more than that instead of outdoor rugs as we wonder will a rug be able to withstand the element of nature? So, the answer is Yes! Outdoor rugs are often designed and made up of material that is suitable and durable to bear the moisture and other elements. Let's learn more about the outdoor rug which will help you to add another aspect to your outdoor space.
What word sums up 2024, neighbours?
If 2020 was the year of lockdowns, banana bread, and WFH (work from home)....
In one word, how would you define 2024?
We're excited to see what you come up with!
⚠️ 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 ❤️
