Dogs that have survived many situations
Stray dogs are abundant in all countries. Usually thanks to the irresponsibility of their former owners. It is also true that an increasing number of people and groups are organizing to help combat this problem.
In our day to day we find very sad and unpleasant stories that happen to dogs. The most frequent case is abandonment.
To get close to dogs that have been abandoned, follow this advice.
- A collar, blanket and food attractive to them will be of great help for our first contact with the animal.
- The first step will be to leave the food at a safe distance from the dog and move away.
- We will sit next to him, but without him feeling overwhelmed or frightened by our presence.
- With a lot of patience, we keep bringing the food closer and closer, until the dog fully trusts us.
- Gaining their trust is very important. Certainly a stray dog is not used to caressing or caressing. On the contrary, he is always waiting for abuse because that is his experience. So let’s wait patiently for him to allow physical contact.
- When we are able to put on the collar, a very important step will have already been taken. We will continue to offer care and food.
- When possible, we will take you to a vehicle and transport you home or elsewhere. If the animal has a very damaged skin, with some type of infection or illness, we will cover it with the blanket so it doesn’t hurt.
- U ma time at home, it is important to feed it initially with homemade food. The stray dog’s diet is often leftovers, and a sudden change to the feed can cause indigestion.
- After he gets home and feeds, we’ll make a very comfortable bed.
- It is essential to take him to the vet the next day so that he can be dewormed and get his vaccinations up to date. Lack of money is no excuse. There is always the option of asking for help from animal protection organizations in your city, posting posts with photos on social media for animal lovers to help, etc.
- If we are not going to keep the abandoned animal, the best thing is to get in touch with an animal protection association to help us find a responsible home. Another good idea is to post on social media.
