Stray dogs, and cats, are in desperate need of affection – Most dog owners know a homeless dog (or a pack of them) they'd like to support or befriend, but they're always stumped as to how to do so. What's the only way to deal with a stray?
Here are few suggestions to assist you in assisting your neighborhood puppy.
How to approach:
Remember that stray dogs can be dangerous, and they've always had bad encounters with humans. Keep an eye on the dog's behavior. Do not approach if they seem to be hostile. If they're frightened or nervous, you can take the steps below to relieve some of their anxiety, but if it doesn't help, back off. Don't put too much pressure on them. You should still try again if they seem to be in a better mood later.
Crouching while holding out your hand is advised. This helps you to be about the same height as the dog, which will make them feel less threatened. Be sure you don't get down on your hands and knees, since you'll need to be able to get up and leave fast if the dog becomes anxious or violent.
Petting:
Pet the dog if it comes up to you to sniff your fingertips and is interested and polite. Do it with care and gentleness. Pet the dog from the front to ensure that the dog will still see your side. Before going to their back, it's better to start with their front, where they can see your palm.
A way to an animal’s heart:
It's a meal and treats. And, if you feed them, they will most likely love you. Feed more aggressive stray animals from afar, at least before they learn to trust you and recognize you as the food bearer. The most effective way to gain a homeless dog's affection is to feed them on a regular basis.
You'll have a stray's love for the rest of your life once you have it. Don't be scared to befriend a stray in your colony that needs a little extra love and support.
