Question Posted Saturday December 10 2005, 3:55 pm
This isn't exactly pets, but it's the closest one.
In my neighborhood, a stray dog keeps wandering around. It's eating grass and the fur around the joints is gone. I feel really bad for the dog, but my mom won't let me take him in. Everytime I go inside to get a number for an animal shelter, he runs away. I need an idea on what to do.
Petlover4ever answered Sunday December 25 2005, 12:16 am: I know people prob. said this but Put clean food and water in an enclosed area. Then when you see the dog co in close the dog in the area. Dont cause him/her too much stress + make sure there is food/water. Then when the adoption people come to take him he will be waiting. It seems like he is really hanging on a thread (if he is eating grass ((when they eat grass they are normally sick)). And have the shelter number ready with you whenever you see him...(keep it in a pocket or something. [ Petlover4ever's advice column | Ask Petlover4ever A Question ]

hersheylover answered Sunday December 11 2005, 11:00 pm: i recommend putting some food and water out for him..cat food will work..or even table scraps.
if he sticks around your neighborhood..call your animal control people..they can come and catch him and take him to the pound--i know that sounds mean, but it betters his chances of getting a home. another idea is to tell people around you about him..and make flyers. maybe someone will want him.
hope i helped!! please rate ~hersheylover~ [ hersheylover's advice column | Ask hersheylover A Question ]

naimee answered Saturday December 10 2005, 7:10 pm: Maybe, buy some treats? Like bacon strips or whatever and then when you see the dog offer it some. It will probably come over & then see what the number is for the animal shelter. Or maybe keep food out for it, and eventually you'll catch it!! Good luck. :( [ naimee's advice column | Ask naimee A Question ]
pacificrose answered Saturday December 10 2005, 4:37 pm: Call the animal shelter anyway and tell them in what vicinity the dog is wandering around so they can look for him. It sounds like the dog needs help right away. [ pacificrose's advice column | Ask pacificrose A Question ]
DancinCutie08 answered Saturday December 10 2005, 4:34 pm: well i would recommend calling the shelter and telling them you just have a dog that comes aruond every once and a while. make sure its a no kill shelter! or have the number with you so once you see the dog yuo can call in (like have it in your cell or something) or your moms not around just tile it to a rope or something so that you have him when you call the shelter [ DancinCutie08's advice column | Ask DancinCutie08 A Question ]
x0o_blondiie answered Saturday December 10 2005, 4:21 pm: Aww.. What to do is get a bowl of food and water .. and keep doing that every-day and he
'll get use to coming to your house and he'll keep coming back for more food and water. And also TRY to go up to him and show him your not mean so he can trust you. Then when he gets close to you, take him and just tie him up or something then call animal shelter because if you leave him out there he can get hurt.
xxoBriannax answered Saturday December 10 2005, 4:12 pm: Put food out on your porch or whatever and call the animal shelter. Try to lure him into your house until they come so he doesn't get scared away. Try using treats or more food to do so. [ xxoBriannax's advice column | Ask xxoBriannax A Question ]
