✨It’s about that time where we start thinking about Christmas presents! 🎁
We are not saying we should keep pets off the list. The key thing to avoid is a ‘SURPRISE’ pet as a gift.
Adding a pet to a household is a joyous time and fills our hearts but there’s also a lot of work to do, a lot of money to be spent and a lot of sacrifices to be made especially if it’s a young animal.
Please share this message far and wide!!
💛🐾We are here to help 🐾💙
Our adoption coordinators are ready to place foster animals with new homes for Christmas! They will offer advice and use their experience to ensure the match between animal and family and lifestyle fit well to prevent a surrender or abandonment.
Merry Christmas from CAA 🎄🎅🐾
Thank you Kent at Kentos Komms for the video!

🦁Simba is still searching for his forever home—could it be with you?!
A little about Simba:
✔️10-month-old male Arab cross
✔️Highly food motivated and loves his treats
✔️Great with other dogs but likely not suited to a home with cats (he does chase them)
✔️Walks well on a lead
✔️Toilet-trained and takes himself outside when indoors

🚨 Summer Safety for your Pets In CQ 🚨
Please never leave your dog unattended in a vehicle. It is against the law and can lead to terrible suffering and death.
Temperatures in a car can double within 20 minutes!
☀️Cracking a window or parking in the shade do very little to help
☀️ Elderly, overweight and short muzzled dogs are at a higher risk
☀️A dog tied to a Ute tray with no access to shade and water can suffer terribly and die within 20 minutes
☀️Similarly a dog tied in a yard with no access to shade and water can also suffer and die
This behaviour could be an offence under the Animal Care and Protection Act 2001 especially if your pet suffers heat stress or dies. Not only that, but leaving the windows down on an unattended vehicle is illegal under Queensland law.
Thank you to Kent @kentoskomms for the clip!
