Just wondering if anyone has any advice on how to get a stray dog to the nearest shelter.
I feel so helpless when I see this pretty dog roaming around near the college campus where I work. She's been around several days, and there have been other strays on campus in the past. I called univ. police and they told me they've tried to catch her but they can't. The local dog warden is aware of the situation and they were going to try to set up traps but either haven't yet, or couldn't get her anyway.
Meanwhile I saw the dog near my building yesterday and approached her. I think she is a she anyway. Hard to tell. She barked at me but did not try to jump on me or bite me. I tried speaking to her in soothing tones. Then she ran away again. I brought some biscuits and treats with me today hoping I can gain her trust, and keep her around long enough until I call the shelter, which is just a couple of blocks away.
In the meantime I feel so bad that this poor doggie has no one to feed or take care of her. And there's not much anything can do for her. I just hope animal control can find her and get her into a good home maybe.
