Dogs that have survived many situations

Stray dogs abound in all countries . Generally due to the irresponsibility of its former owners. It is also true that more and more people and groups are organizing to help combat this problem.

To get closer to dogs that have been abandoned, these tips will help

• A collar with a leash, a blanket and very attractive food for 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 close to the dog, but without making him feel overwhelmed or frightened by our presence.

• With a lot of patience we will bring the food closer and closer, until the dog completely trusts us.

• Earning their trust is very important. For sure, a stray dog ​​is not used to affection or caresses. On the contrary, he is always waiting for abuse, because that is the experience he has had. Therefore, we will wait patiently for it to allow gentle physical contact.

• When we can place the necklace, it will have already been a very important step. We will continue caressing and feeding.

• As soon as we can, we will load it into a vehicle and transfer it home or to your chosen location. If your skin is very mistreated with some type of infection or disease, we will cover it with the blanket so as not to damage it.

• When you get home and have eaten, we will see to it that you have a warm bed.

• It is essential to take him to the vet the next day so that he has a good deworming and begins his vaccination schedule. Lack of money for veterinary care is no excuse for skipping this step. There is always the option of requesting the collaboration of the city’s animal protection organizations, making publications with photos on social networks for people who love animals to help, etc.
