My dog attacked and recovering - Please Share - https://givealittle.co.nz/cause/saving-luna-1

Andrew from Henderson

Did not think to post this until now - Duh!
My dog was severely mauled in Corbans Estate a month ago now and the recovery has been good but the costs of surgery and follow-up have been eye watering. I took out a high interest personal loan that I will find great difficulty in paying off so set up a give-a-little page. Vet costs have now consumed the whole $20,000 I borrowed but hopefully this is the last phase of recovery. I know times are tight for all of us but I am asking if you would please share my link on your social media s anyone I reach who is able to help would be fantastic. I know asking for help is a crowded field but this is the first time I have ever taken this step - I simply had to save my girl (as letting her go would have broken me) and that the problem is mine but needs must. Would do anything for her. The other dog owner is useless and did pay the initial deposit required for the vet to start. He has no money and it is in the hands of Animal Control now. Please share on your social media as some lovely people out there might be in a position to help.

We're talking new year resolutions...

Tidying the house before going to bed each night, meditating upon waking or taking the stairs at work.

What’s something quick, or easy, that you started doing that made a major positive change in your life?

⚠️ 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 ❤️
