"RUSTY" 3.5yr old Torteshelle Looking For Her Forever Home
We are the foster family of this beautiful lady "Rusty" while we were on our rural dairy farming job then the elderly lady who rescued her passed away and I tried taking on finding her forever homes to no luck so we left it for awhile but now its time to try again as we have moved into town and she misses the quiet country life.
In her 3 years with us she has gotten used our young children but she prefer the older quiet more retired life as it gets a bit too much with the hustle and bustle of kids, maybe a grandparent is in need of a companion then Rusty is the girl for them. She doesnt like being held much but is always keen for a smoochy pat (especially of foods imvolved) before curling to sleep in a favourite part on a couch.
She is desexed, microchipped and registered on NZCAR.
She has had her yearly other vacs except behind in this years one.
She has never had bad health with us.
She is HIV+ meaning she has a lower than normal immune system.
But dont let that fool you she is smoochy, lovable and loves exploring her local areas or happily sleep on the couch at home.
If you or anyone you know is interested in adopting her, then please email me on Mummynae@hotmail.co.nz or private message me here to discuss if you have the perfect forever home for her.
What word sums up 2024, neighbours?
If 2020 was the year of lockdowns, banana bread, and WFH (work from home)....
In one word, how would you define 2024?
We're excited to see what you come up with!
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. ⚠️
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 ❤️
