Good People

On Thursday the 17th October, WFS will be doing our annual screening of the Show Me Shorts Film Festival, which has become a crowd favourite.

We are doing two sessions of the Sampler Program. One at 6pm and one at 8pm. It is screening ONE NIGHT ONLY - SO DON'T MISS IT

SMS 2024 - Sampler Program
NZ and International short films
105 mins, Rated M - (strong language and content that may offend.)

Enjoy the highlights from this year’s Show Me Shorts (SMS) Film Festival. It's a selection of the most vibrant, fun and imaginative short films from NZ and around the world.

Equal parts moving and silly, the stars include Joanna Lumley and Ben Whishaw, alongside local actors who shine.

SMS is all about the connections between us. You'll see heartfelt stories of homelessness, demolition derbies, the horrors of camping, dealing with death... and meeting your partner's weird family for the first time!

WFS is proud to be part of the 2024 Whangarei Fringe Festival.

Showing at Forum North, 7 Rust Ave Whangarei on Thursday 17th October with sessions at 6pm and 8pm

⚠️ 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 ❤️
