New year, means more families to help
Hi Neighbours!
I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and new year period. We are back in action from the 9th but unfortunately have a wait list of children needing help from the moment we go back to work and are desperately needing these items. If you could bring these to us when we open on the 9th OR if you get in touch with me, I can arrange for a collection otherwise you're more than welcome to drop off locally to me.
The items we are needing are as follows:
- Cots
- Prams
- Bassinets
- New born clothing
- Car seats (all stages and non expired)
- Size 2,3,4,5 and 6 clothing
- Bassinet bedding
- Blankets
When we walk into the factory, we have 34 applications from the moment we get going, 8 prams, 8 bassinets, and 9 car seats is what is included in these that we don't have.
Towards the end of last year we started to have completely empty shelves, this was a result of the need we were seeing so we are desperately needing a large supply of all things in order to fill the needs we will continue to see in 2023.
If you can help we would be forever grateful, otherwise if not and you are able to share this post we will again be forever grateful for that too!
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 ❤️
