Bring Scoota HOME
These people are new to Northland and their "much loved" dog has disappeared. Please keep an eye out and if you know anything, please give them a call.
The day started early at 6.00am with a drive around the area in the hope that the quiet morning might entice him to walk a bit more alongside the roads. Dropped a few leaflets at the local supermarket, the weekend market as well. Thank you all for the kindness of your messages and sharing the posts. If we have forgotten to acknowledge you it is a mistake and we are sorry about it. Again we ask people, whanau in Kerikeri , Waipapa and the rest of the Far North district to SHARE , SHARE and hope that if he has travel a lot more afar than we thought and he has been picked up the kind driver will drop him at a vet's , the SPCA...
Skoota is a 10 YO Foxy X Jack Russell , mainly white with a brown spot on his back, has a red collar with names tag and telephone numbers, and a council tag from the South Island as we only recently moved up to Waipapa.
The first and only sighting was 72 hours ago on Kapiro Road Waipapa. Nothing since. He can be timid, certainly not aggressive, not interested in killing and eating sheep.
Also recently had a medical condition making him at times disoriented and unbalanced and for this needs care and regular visit to the vet's .
Again we ask people to share the info if possible as only with a wider community will we be able to locate him.
The country out there is huge and being so small it makes our task almost impossible on our own. Any sighting will help .
Please call 0212113462 if you can help.Thank you

⚠️ 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 ❤️
