Help us give our foster dogs an awesome Christmas!!
Romeo came from a hoarding situation. At 9 months old he had never been out of the tiny pen he shared with 20 other dogs. Leads, people, houses - they were all completely new and terrifying. But thanks to the help of plenty of yummy treats, toys, foster siblings & lots of patience, Romeo made huge progress. He got to go on adventures. He got to learn how to play. He got to find an awesome new home, and this December he will experience Christmas knowing that he is loved. And seeing that is the best feeling in the world! See his transformation video in the link below.
Now it is our turn to help other dogs in need, and we need your help. Masterpet are giving away 10 Santa Sacks filled with $4,000RRP of toys, treats and more that could help dogs just like Romeo to experience happiness and learn that the world is a pretty great place. Can you help us?

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!
⚠️ 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 ❤️
