I often get calls about stray animals, and it raises a lot of questions from people on how to handle them. If you spot one, the best approach is to assess the situation first — especially if it’s a potential danger to traffic or other animals. Last week I encountered a stray dog in a busy intersection, and it took a few hours to safely catch him. Anyone else have strategies that work in similar situations?
I’ve found keeping treats handy helps to coax them over. Took me an hour last month with a scared cat that wouldn’t budge!
Have you tried that?
Last time I saw a stray, I used a leash to safely guide him. Those busy intersections can be so risky! Have you thought about using a rescue tool?
