Skoota is still out there - SOMEWHERE...
17 days and no news.
Over the weekend those placards will be all over the place.
More chances to find Skoota, more eyes looking for him...
more possibilities to see him back home.
We had No conclusive sightings despite of an amazing community spirit from Whangarei to Cape Reinga.
Your support has been beyond anything we could imagine and you all are our heroes.
Hours and hours of search, thousands of people aware of who Skoota is...
But tonight as painful as it can be we have to come to reality for the following:
Skoota had a brutal and fatal accident in the surrounding bush and we will not see him again.
Skoota has not been killed on the roads, but as he was worried about cars and their noise he would rarely run on them. We drove 100s of Kms and would have found him lying dead.
If somebody unfortunately hit him please come forward and tell us. No judgement no blame... but a closure for us. Just like when you loose a child.
Skoota was shot as he was mistaken for a stray dog. Again if you did it or know someone who did it please come forward and let us know. No blame no anger ... just a closure for us. Just like when your child is shot by mistake.
Skoota was taken by those people from the underground fighting dogs ring and fed the animals. We will not see him again and no one will come forward... but there is Karma.
Finally Skoota is kept hostage for different reasons.
So if you read this and have Skoota alive we will consider a payment also called " reward" only for his safe return or unmistakable information leading to the guaranteed return of Skoota to his family.
Our numbers are on the document down below.

⚠️ 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 ❤️
