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 ❤️

In New Plymouth within the past month, two instances have been reported where scammers have called elderly residents posing as staff from legitimate large businesses operating in New Zealand.
On both occasions, the scammer kept the victims on the phone for long periods of time and gained access to their bank accounts.
One victim lost almost $24,000, while the other lost more than $350,000.
Detective Jason Wright of the Taranaki CIB says these losses are gutting to the elderly victims and their loved ones.
“Especially at this time of year where many people are already feeling financial pressure, these are devastating losses.
“We hope sharing their story will help put others on guard for this insidious activity where scammers are preying on older people.”
Police urge people to have conversations with vulnerable or elderly family members, to help ensure they are aware of the tactics often used by scammers and don’t become victims of this offending.
“We know those from older generations are typically a little less tech-savvy and generally more trusting, which is exactly what scammers rely on.”
Police have the following advice:
📞 If someone calls you claiming to be from a company, hang up the phone and call the company back via their publicly listed phone number.
📞 If you think you are being scammed just hang up immediately – you’re not going to offend anyone.
💻 One click is all it takes for these offenders to have access to your information.
🖥️ If you have unfortunately opened a link that has installed remote access to your computer, make sure the device is shut down, or disconnected from the internet and seek assistance to ensure it is safely removed.
⚠️ If a warning screen appears on your computer when trying to log into your bank website, turn your computer off and call your bank.
Anyone who believes they have been the victim of a scam should notify their bank immediately, and make a report to Police through our 105 service.
