Furbutts = LOVE Donating Member Moderator | Best way to catch a stray pooch? Hello, In my time, I've rescued/caught several stray dogs. Lately, I cannot catch one for the life of me and it breaks my heart. I was in a grocery parking lot this a.m. and saw a little chihuahua mix running about. I got out of my car, got really low and tried to sweet talk him in to me. No luck, he scuttled off with his little tail btwn his legs and I couldn't find him. I had tears in my eyes the whole way to work after I couldn't save him. He was so scared. I feel like someone just dumped the little fella in the parking lot, hoping someone would take him. Anyway, any expert rescuers out there? Advice? Many thanks, Ann |

| Maybe keeping a bag of dog treats in your car for just such emergencies. If the little guy was hungry enough, he may have come over to you if you offer him a delicious treat.

| Maybe keep canned food in your car? Or maybe if you contacted an animal rescue, they keep set up a trap.

We have a bad problem where we live of people dumping pets. No idea why it happens, but it does. I think it is b/c we are close to the water and several state parks. Animal control is no helping getting them unless they are aggressive.
