If you see a stray animal on the road or parking lot, do you stop to help it? Would you look for a tag and call the numbers listed? If it didn't have tags, what would you do?

HS are tricky when they call themselves "no kill shelters." often, that means that animals that are seen as un-adoptable are sent to animal control instead to be put down. that way, the HS is only taking in adoptable animals and can claim to be "no kill."

Sarah, I know what you're saying. We are exceptionally fortunate to have a couple of rescues here (well, within 100 miles) who will take animals who are considered un-adoptable. It's mostly cats, from what I can tell, which is sad - but I suppose there are more stray cats than dogs.

Poor anjimals. This is making me sad. I want to go to the shelter and pet fuzzies after work now

Well, I brought a duckling that I found by itself injured home and cared for it for a night before the wildlife authority lady could come to collect it, and I've previous cared for a few other injured birds I've found. I've never stumbled by a dog/cat/other larger animal that has been injured, but if I did, I would call someone for help and if it was safe, use a blanket to move it gently and take it to the nearest vet.
