House desperately needed.

Debbie from South Dunedin

Hi everyone, we are desperately in need of a 3 bedroom house in the South Dunedin side of town for my daughter her partner and my 3 young granddaughter's. The children are in School and Kindy so would prefer to not have to change them again if possible. My daughter doesn't drive and as her partner will be in full time study she needs to be able to drop off and pick up the girl's on foot so on the flat would obviously be preferred if possible. This poor young family have been living in a motel since the beginning of August as they have had no luck getting a house. Their time is pretty much up to be able to stay at the motel so thing's are obviously extremely desperate as they have no where to go. This young family needs someone to give them a chance to give them a place to call home, they need stability the children need some grass to play on and their little dog needs his family back. There must be someone out there that can help. Please please help my young family 😔

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

The Team from SPCA New Zealand

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 ❤️
