Steps to follow if you find a dog on the street
Many people when they encounter a stray dog don't know what to do and prefer to act like nothing's wrong rather than try to solve the problem. There are also those people who have wrong ideas about the fate of these abandoned dogs and therefore prefer not to act and leave the dog right where he is.
What should you do?
- Approach the dog and show yourself calm, if you try to chase or corner him, it will most likely show you his teeth.
- get down a little. If the dog sees you too high, he may be afraid.
- offer you food it's a good way to start a relationship, if you're hungry you'll probably accept it without a problem.
- Try to grab it gently. You can talk to him calmly.
- To start we must go to the vet with the abandoned dog. Only the specialist can read the chip that has the owner's name and contact details. remember that the veterinarian is required to read the microchip for free.
- If the animal does not have a chip and prefers to keep it at home while looking for its owners, we recommend that it use free portals or social networks to talk to its owners.
- Finally, if keeping him at home is not a viable option, we recommend that you use the animal reception center, where volunteers will try to find a home for the dog.
