Sweet little Timmy ( TimTam) ** adopted**
This gorgeous little boy is looking for his forever home. Timmy and his litter were found dumped in a box on the beach at 2 weeks of age. Thanks to a member of the public, Keysar and Saving Hope Foundation, they’ve been rescued and nurtured. Timmy is currently fostered in Albany. His approximate dob is 11.04.23 and parentage unknown. He’s an active and inquisitive little boy and very smart. He already comes when called and sits. He is learning his toilet manners. Timmy has a really keen nose and absolutely rocks his eyebrows! If you have a suitable home you can open to Timmy you’ll be one of a list of angels that have ensured this little boy gets a healthy, fun and loving life. All enquires via the Saving Hope Foundation website ( sorry, unable to post the link). Adoption fee applies.
⚠️ 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 ❤️
