HOME HELP NEEDED π Great for student nurse/retired nurse
Morning Neighbours. I'm needing a fabulous someone to help care for my 89yo mum. Part time, mainly mornings.π 2 days a week. Making her breakfast, mid morning snack & lunch. Light cleaning duties. No showering, she has a carer support doing that. My mum loves company and is a softly spoken person, good SOH, limited English, she likes her Chinese TV & walking on the deck. Suited to someone who is softly spoken, cheerful & friendly. Prefer Cantonese speaking π but not necessary. My existing Helper is going away for a few months till early next year. Lovely to chat & meet you. Greatly appreciated. Call/text me 027 3862680. Cheers πHelen
β οΈ DOGS DIE IN HOT CARS. If you love them, don't leave them. β οΈ
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:
π The temperature inside a car can heat to over 50Β°C in less than 15 minutes.
π 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.
π This puts dogs at a high risk of heatstroke - a serious condition for dogs, with a mortality rate between 39%-50%.
π 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 β€οΈ
