This dog has been roaming the neighborhood for at least 3 days. No collar, the police are aware and unable to get it, animal control won’t try until tomorrow. Pic has been posted to a missing pets facebook group.
It’s below freezing. I tried bringing out food and water, but it won’t let me anywhere near. Is there anything I can put out to help this dog through another frozen night, assuming it comes anywhere near my house again?
Edit the following morning: I never saw it again, but a neighbor saw it this morning, so at least it survived the night. Hopefully the pros can take care of it today.
You can try chucking smelly treats near it. Don’t make eye contact and try to be small - sit or crouch with your body facing away from the dog. Bundle up because it could take a while.
