New jigsaws and activity / puzzle books in store now
Our usual pallet of 1000 piece Holdsons jigsaws has been delayed due to a world wide paper shortage (something to do with making paper masks apparently) and issues with shipping the board from Europe so we have purchased a small range of alternatives to keep you busy in the meantime.
Choose from 500 - 1000 piece animal theme (cats, dogs, butterflies and animals of the world) to 1000 piece Fine Art designs from Renoir, Monet and Waterhouse and for the very adventurous of you we have a few double sided puzzles!
Yes that's right not only do all the pieces have to fit but both sides are printed so you have to get them the right way up as well.
We also have a small number of the latest Christmas Wasgij and the a vintage Christmas puzzle in a gorgeous tin but these won't last long.
For the kids we have 45 - 100 piece puzzles in a range of designs and for the really little ones we have fabulous boxes from Crocodile Creek with ten 2 piece puzzles.
We also have new Christmas puzzle and activity books - just too many titles to mention so best pop in and check out the range!
⚠️ 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 ❤️
