My course of action is as follows: <br /><br />1. I keep the dog separated from my dogs in a fenced area, provide them a little dry Canidae food, fresh water and just watch their behavior.<br /><br />2. Once I feel it is safe to approach them, I will visually inspect them for sores, fleas and then tags/chips/tattoo and in that order. <br /><br />3. If still no luck locating owner info (Im 0-4 in that endeavor this summer) and the dog isn't displaying aggressive behavior, I leash them and take them to a local Petsmart/Petco/similar that can scan them for chips for free (1-4 this summer lol). <br /><br />4. After that, good luck getting him to a home or rescue!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11256643165227008927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-647675683976633621.post-20676998746022241382012-06-15T23:02:26.024-07:002012-06-15T23:02:26.024-07:00I am working on a stray dog pit bull who has been ...I am working on a stray dog pit bull who has been running this area for a good month or more now. No one seems to be able to catch him and he is a mess, dirty, sore foot and getting thinner. I place food at some area I know he goes daily but can't put a leach on him. He will run at the site of a leach. He will let me hand feed him so he is not aggressive. Next step is to put another dog female around him to distract him so it is easier to put the leach on him, then we may have put a sedative in his food--need to figure something out soon. I hope we can find a home for him afterwards. The Animal Shelter is full here and may not keep him too long. He is a beautiful dog "blonde color", almost looks like a Labrador. It is a lot of work here trying to catch him daily sometimes twice a day, but I won't give up on him. We may put him on a TV Channel here maybe then something good will happen.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-647675683976633621.post-87984177091714224662011-06-14T00:24:32.471-07:002011-06-14T00:24:32.471-07:00Great advice!

I had told my husband that once I put money into him by taking him to the vet he was MINE!

I found a stray dog while I was on my way home from work on Friday night. He was a sweet boy and a little plump so I knew he ate well and was cared for. My husband and I put up flyers around the area where I found him and we got a call from his family the very next morning. It really is all the thanks you need when you can reunite a lost pet with a family who was missing it. I was just glad to be able to help and did what I would hope someone else would do if one of my dogs got lost.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-647675683976633621.post-38812921304697814202011-06-13T11:12:16.653-07:002011-06-13T11:12:16.653-07:00This is a great subject and I had a situation toda...This is a great subject and I had a situation today that I don't know what to do. At the dump there were several Momma kitties and 11 kittens. I am sure they are feral and probably would be a project to catch them but the biggest problem is what to do with them once I catch them. I have 17 here already. I am sure the guy there at the dump will do something with them and hopefully someone will take the kittens. Makes me so sad. I just wish I had some money to build a facility to house all these guys.Marghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16571726966413507123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-647675683976633621.post-76769899367342343672011-06-13T09:03:23.558-07:002011-06-13T09:03:23.558-07:00Wonderful advice.
