☀️ Summer days are heating up! Don't forget your dog's sensitive feet as you protect your own 🐶

🐾 If you're not sure whether it's too hot to walk your dog, just follow the 5-second rule.

🖐️ If you can't leave the back of your hand on the pavement for more than 5 seconds then it's too hot for your pooch.

It's not just the road you need to check, if you're walking along the beach you need to check the sand too. Never walk in the middle of the day, focus on early morning or later afternoon walks.

A mysterious toxin is grounding our flying foxes 🦇💔
The start of December has seen our Wildlife Team inundated daily with flying foxes - in just over one week 104 flying foxes have come into our care!

Unable to eat, blink and eventually move at all, our shadows of the night sky are suffering from Flying Fox Paralysis Syndrome (FFPS) - similar to Lorikeet Paralysis Syndrome - and require immediate and around the clock care.

The Syndrome occurs mainly in the Summer months, but we are now seeing a dramatic spike in cases in South East Queensland. The cause of FFPS still remains unknown. However, researchers are exploring a number of possible causes.

When found early, FFPS is treatable, but weeks of intensive care is required with full rehabilitation taking upwards of several months. But without intervention and intensive care, our flying foxes have no chance of survival.

Our Team is working alongside Bats Conservation and Rescue QLD, Bats QLD, wildlife carers, and the SEQ Hospital Network which includes Currumbin Wildlife Hospital and Australia Zoo to ensure affected flying foxes can get expert care.

‼️ If you find a sick flying fox, do not touch them. Call the RSPCA on 1300 ANIMAL, Bat Conservation and Rescue Qld, or your nearest wildlife carer.

☀️🕶️ It’s getting warmer, which means it’s extra important to remember to NEVER leave your pet unattended in a car 🐶🚗

‼️ 6 minutes is all it takes. Don't risk it ‼️
A dog can die in a hot car in less than six minutes. Keep your pets safe this summer.

The facts you need to know 👇
🚗 Cars can reach up to 73 degrees celsius on a hot summer’s day
🐶 Pets can still overheat even when the windows are down or the car is parked in a shaded area
🔥 Ute trays can burn your pet’s footpads or body (unlike humans, pets can’t escape from the heat when they get too hot, especially when they are tied to the back of a ute)
🖐 Do the hand test! If you can't put your hand on a surface for longer than 5 seconds without it burning, it is too hot for your pet to walk on!

Meet Cole 👋
As you can probably tell from his pics, Cole the Black-headed Monitor has personality with a capital P!🦎🥰

As well as having a big personality, Cole loves climbing and adventuring. His dream is to find a forever family who will deck his enclosure with lots of branches so he continue improving his already outstanding climbing skills!

An independent lad, while he doesn't mind being picked up out of his enclosure he is eager to be put down so he can explore.

As well as a love for climbing, Cole loves to sunbake, as well as enjoying time under his heat lamp. While he might seem like an outgoing lad, he does enjoy some 'me' time, relaxing alone in his hide-away.

Could Cole be the one for you? See his profile 👉 https://www.rspcaqld.org.au/adopt/search/animaldetails?AnimalId=975612 and adopt today! 🏡

Paralysis Syndrome has struck again 🦜🦇💔
Cases of Lorikeet Paralysis Syndrome (LPS) are rising in South East Queensland and flying foxes are also being impacted.

Our Wildlife Team is being inundated daily with patients. Since December 1st the Team have treated 349 lorikeets and 104 flying foxes suffering from the condition.

Unable to walk, eat, blink and eventually move at all, our rainbows of the sky and shadows of the night sky are suffering Lorikeet Paralysis Syndrome (LPS) and require immediate and around the clock care.

When found early, LPS is treatable, but weeks of intensive care is required with full rehabilitation taking upwards of several months. But without intervention and intensive care, our beautiful lorikeets have no chance of survival.

🦜 If you find a sick lorikeet, you can transport them to your nearest vet for triage in a box with ventilation and a towel, otherwise call the RSPCA on 1300 ANIMAL or your nearest wildlife carer.
🦇 If you find a sick flying fox, do not touch them. Call the RSPCA on 1300 ANIMAL, Bat Conservation and Rescue Qld, or your nearest wildlife carer.

A big thank you goes out to all our wildlife carers, volunteers, local vets, SEQ Hospital Network, Bats Conservation and Rescue QLD, and our Team who have been working around the clock to treat and care for the unprecedented number of lorikeets in such a short amount of time 🙌❤️

Don’t forget about your pets when it comes to beating the heat this summer ☀️🌡
Heatstroke in pets can be subtle but deadly… and a trip to the vet is the last thing anyone wants!

Did you know that ALL animals are susceptible to heatstroke? 🤯 Just like with humans, it occurs when an animal is exposed to excessively high temperatures, overheating them to the point where they can't maintain a healthy body temperature, and can lead to multiple organ failure if not treated quickly.

ℹ️ See our quick tips to help protect your pet and learn how to spot the signs of heatstroke.

😎WARNING: Things are heating up today and tomorrow, and into next week! Remember your pets as you start to sweat or sit pretty in air con.

🐶🐱🐹 For domestic pets:
🏡 Check they have ample shade and ventilation all day (remember, the sun moves throughout the day - what's shady in the morning won't be shady at midday or in the afternoon).
💧 Ensure you pet has plenty of access to cool water, in multiple bowls incase one tips over
🌅 Keep your pet walks to sunrise and sunset, if the ground is too hot for you it's too hot for your pet!
🚗 Never leave your dog in a car (a cracked window makes little difference to the temperature) or on a hot ute tray
😎 Add pet appropriate cooling enrichment to their day from frozen pupsicles to a wet towel for them to lie on in a cool and shady spot.

International Day of People with Disabilities (IDPwD) celebrates the contributions of people with disabilities and highlights the importance of inclusivity. At Happy Paws Happy Hearts (HPHH), 86% of our participants are neurodivergent or living with a disability. We’re committed to creating inclusive spaces that combat social isolation and build meaningful connections.

This IDPwD, we celebrate the mutual impact between our participants and rescue animals. Through our wonderful partnership with organisations like RSPCA Queensland, Happy Paws Happy Hearts programs provide opportunities for growth, confidence, and joy for both people and animals. Participants engage in fun, supportive group activities where they care for animals and help them become adoptable while finding purpose and connection themselves.

In 2024 alone, Happy Paws Happy Hearts participants built connections with 15,253 rescue animals in RSPCA Queensland shelter locations and delivered 7,627 hours of animal socialisation and training. The bond formed between participants and animals is transformative—building trust, independence, and a sense of belonging.

Together, we’re fostering brighter futures for people and animals alike through compassion, collaboration, and connection.

As we head into 2025, we look forward to reaching more Australians and creating pathways out of social isolation, thanks to our amazing partners like RSPCA Queensland and rescue shelters nationwide. Together, we want to continue striving towards creating an inclusive and diverse community.
