According to statistics
There are also a large number of stray cats and dogs every day around the world
There is no place to live, hunger and cold
In the city
Have you ever noticed the little figure walking by?
Whether it's sadness, longing, or loneliness
We may be able to see their downside
But they may not understand their entire lives
Are you willing to give them some warmth as much as you can?
It's winter,
They are suffering from hunger and cold on the streets,
If, you happen to meet one of them,
How would you choose?
Compassionate of you,
Must have chosen to lend a helping hand!
So, how should we properly rescue it?
❤❤❤
01
Determine if it is a stray animal
▲Characteristics of the Wandering Wang Xingren:
They are thinner, with dirty hair, and most stray dogs are more wary of people, afraid of people approaching, and have obvious wounds on their bodies.
▲Characteristics of wandering cats:
Perennial wandering life will make them very thin (of course, there are some "pet little guys" are exceptions), the neck generally does not wear a cat pen, most of them are wary of people and not easy to approach, some will have more obvious injuries, or limp and bleeding legs.
02
Judge whether it needs help or not
Because of the particularity of stray dogs, there are no shortage of caring people around us, taking dog food and food to feed stray dogs, which is a good phenomenon, but there are many hidden dangers, it is easy to have accidents, so we must follow the golden rule of saving stray dogs:
"Keep yourself safe"
"Keeping others safe"
"Keeping stray dogs safe"
Compared with stray dogs, stray cats are more capable of surviving in the wild when no one harms them, so not all stray cats need our rescue.
If you encounter stray cats that have been seriously injured, or are pregnant, or appear to be in significantly poor health, please help them.
03
How to approach it
Easier for stray cats,
You can familiarize them with your scent first, and you need to be very patient and accompany them here. When they let their guard down, try to stroke and approach them. (Take care to protect yourself from scratches!) ）
For stray dogs, here is a careful emphasis:
In addition to following the golden rule of rescue, please pay attention to these points:
Determine if it is aggressive
Stray dogs are wild, not as easy to believe humans as domestic dogs, maybe you just crouch down and then stand up, it will scare it, so if you find that the dog's expression is barking, teething, and fierce eyes, it is better not to approach!
Beware of rabies stray dogs
Dogs with rabies will behave restlessly, panicked and nervous, have a strong aggressiveness, have white foam at the corners of their mouths, have fever (you will certainly not see the fever), and at the same time, be very sensitive to light and sound!
Let it come near you
You can gently call it, take out the food, reach out and pat the ground, let it know that you are calling it closer, if its tail wagging frequency begins to increase, you can get closer to it, keeping in mind that some of your unconscious movements will scare it, such as suddenly reaching out to touch it, at this time you can slowly reach out!
04
Avoid prolonged eye contact
One of the ways dogs declare war is by looking at each other, and if you look at it for a long time, stray dogs are likely to think you are going to challenge it.
05
Pay attention to other details
Don't force stray dogs into corners, as this will spark a war
● Even if you have gained trust, be vigilant!
● If one person can't figure it out, contact others quickly and don't get away with it
● Be more careful when facing an injured stray dog, because if you are frightened, it may suddenly attack you
● Put your dog in a safe place and keep a distance from stray dogs
