Support our 20th anniversary fundraiser to help more migrants and former refugees
Waka Kotahi recommends that drivers need at least 120 hours of supervised driving practice before they are ready to sit their restricted test - that's two hours of driving per week for just over a year. This is difficult for many migrants and refugees, as the only time they can practice is when they have a lesson - that’s why the Migrant Action Trust runs the Puketāpapa Community Driving School. Help us give the gift of independence for more solo mothers and former refugees. Give a little and share today: Migrant Action Trust's 20th Anniversary: givealittle.co.nz...
Free Used/Unused Gift Wrappers
Hi, those who have unwrapped their Christmas presents or Birthday presents & don't need the gift wrappers. I'd like to have them to reuse instead of throwing away. I'm looking for used gift wrappers & bouquet flowers wrappers in any condition or extra pieces unused gift wrappers to use for myself. Please message on Neighbourly or on 0220416592 to pick up. I can come & pick up at any locations. 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 ❤️
