Default Help w/ stray dog- pet lovers only!?

I consider myself a cat expert & have a Shih Tzu. Both receive only the best in care, etc. - my problem? A large stray dog has apparently been dumped at our house a few weeks ago. It appears he has been mistreated or abused. We live on 3 acres and he stays close.. I have been feeding him after he brought home a very large bag of cat food on his own. Only with dog cookies am I able to get within a few feet of him. The first time I tossed him a cookie, he ducked , whined and put his tail between his legs. I'd like to kill the person that made him that way. In feeding him the cookies I've noticed he has a bit of white foamy slobber that comes out of his mouth. He also has scabbed lacerations under both eyes. He is not terribly thin but is not very active. I'd have no problem taking him to the vet but since I can't get near him that is not possible. Anyone know what this could be? I am concerned about passing it to my Shih Tzu but still want to help this poor dog.

I'm with you, anyone who abuses an innocent animal is awful. Safety is the main issue though, do not try to get the dog to the vet alone. It is clearly in need of medical treatment. You need to contact animal control or the ASPCA, or some other professional. The ASPCA would be great, they could treat it, and hopefully find it a new loving home.

Call animal control.If you are interested in taking care of the dog after they take it away just tell them.They will help you get it to a vet.

i would suggest getting him to get close to YOU by maybe boiling a couple of chicken breasts (no bones) and having a leash/collar & muzzle ready so when he does get near you. you might need the help of a couple people, but try to get the dog to a vet's office.we had a stray bulldog (pregnant) sleep under my car last year, she wouldnt let us touch her but we would leave food out for her, and she had ticks, and burns on her, well we finally got her to come inside the house and my husband threw a blanket on her and held her mouth closed while i put the muzzle on and the leash... we took her to the vet's office and got her all cleaned and left her there. they found her a home within a few weeks.

i think you should try ur hardest to get as close as possible to it and try to catch it. If you can't do that i would call ur local vet and ask them what to do you might want to entise him into a box or something. Good Luck.Ash

Wow, you seem very nice, and at least the person who did this to the dog has left him in good care (instead of the million other horrible possibilities!) This dog is very lucky to have found you! Now this dog has been highly mistreated by the descriptions you gave.If it was me, i would not trust anybody either, and I'm sure no one would! I would need to trust you, and to be able to tell that you would not hurt me, that you would care for me, love me, and treat me the right way, the way i deserve to be treated! now, this may take time for you to gain his trust, but i think you should start out by feeding him dog food, leave a bowl about 6 yards from your house, then go inside, the next day maby put the bowl 5 1/2 yards away and go down 1/2 yard(yard= 3 feet) every day!soon he will gain your trust, and eventually you will be able to take Him to the vet!! Untill that day comes, to speed up the process, spend as much time as possible just outside, doing your own thing-even lay outside and read- he will become interested in you, and if he comes over, don't strike your hand to pet Him, and don't, jump or startle, you want to just let Him sniff you, and if he seems calm you can genitally pat him, ext! It takes time, Patience,kindness, heart, loyalty, and respect, but I'm confident you have all this, so just follow your heart!good luck-hope this helps ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
