Corgi Racing Lining Up
It's quirky and its unique - third annual Black Hawk Wellington Corgi Races will be staged at the Belmont Domain, Lower Hutt on Saturday, December 4 with the first heat starting at 2pm.
Anyone can enter their pure bred Pembroke or Cardigan Corgi from anywhere and in this fun event not necessarily the fastest Corgi over the 60 metres wins.
Generous prizes for the first three in the final but every Corgi lining up in the heats gets Black Hawk gifts.
ENTRY IS FREE.
Last year there were around 300 spectators with 23 Corgis at the starting blocks..
Covid protocols will be observed.
Media interest is assured.
Corgis with an uncontrollable adverse attitude issue should not be entered.
Black Hawk is premium dry (kibble), wet (canned) and treats dog food products made in Australia and NZ.
If weather is lousy, Sunday is the reserve day.
The event is organised by Wellington Welsh Corgi Club which among other activities has monthly Corgi meet-ups.
Enter your Corgi/s ahead of December 4 by emailing: mjromanosnz@gmail.com
⚠️ 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 ❤️
