CHRISTCHURCH RABBIT RESCUE

Raymond from Tawa

Meet Graham 🎩
Graham is a very sweet lad, who isn’t quite sold on people but is learning some of us only come bearing treatos!
Sadly for Graham he was “set free” at Christmas time when most of the neighbours were away 🥺 This meant it took at least 3 weeks for help to be called for him, and all this while he was getting about with a sore footie 🦶 his owners never came forward nor owned up despite many knowing which property Graham originally lived on

The exact causes of the sore foot remain unknown until Graham learns to speak, however it’s obvious he will at the very least need x-rays to see if surgical intervention is needed to ensure he is not in any pain 💊 We’re staring down the barrel of at least $400, nearing $2000 if we have to stabilize his joints in surgery 💸

Humans have let Graham down in the past and be damned if we are going to let him down too.

Can you spare us $1? If each person who saw this post gave us just $1, we would have Grahams xrays covered with enough left over for a pack of treats!

⚠️ 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 ❤️

Worst Xmas ever?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

There's a a lot of planning that goes into Christmas day and sometimes things just don't go to plan. But it can be a good thing - a family mishap or hilarious memory that you can laugh about in Christmases to come.

Whether you burnt the dinner or were stranded at an airport...
