Many times we are faced with the situation of finding a abandoned dog and not really knowing what to do with it. Not all of us can take him home and find him a home, but that is not why we should pass by, since otherwise no one may help him and he will end up dying on the street.
There are several things that can be done if we find an abandoned dog. First of all, we must be clear about the resources we have to be able to help you at that time. In addition, you have to make sure that the dog comes and is not afraid, because if it is difficult to catch we will have to earn its trust with food and more time.
If you have taken the dog because he is good and is not afraid of people, he may have been abandoned for a short time or he has been lost. The first step is to make sure you are not wearing microchip. The microchip reader has it in the veterinarians and the municipalities are also obliged to have a collection and therefore a reader, although this is not always fulfilled. It is better to go to the nearest vet to have it passed to him if he has an owner and is lost, in which case there will be no problem.
If it does not have an owner, we can do several things. On the one hand, there are many people who choose to do shelter while they look for a home in which they take care of him permanently. If you cannot, it is best to get in touch with animal associations so that they can tell you if they can take over or find a foster or adoption home for you.
As we have said, municipalities must have animal collection. But the bad news is that in many cases they are taken to a kennel, where when passing the days regulated by law for the owner to appear, without him appearing, they are sacrificed. In this case, we must inform ourselves and go better to animal protectors and associations, where they will seek adoption.
