help when you can but your safety comes first. If you find a loose/stray dog in need of help, please remember your safety comes first. Read that again. YOUR. SAFETY. COMES. FIRST. Despite what the mentally ill “rescue every dog no matter what it takes” social media crowd believes. Having Dogs your whole life doesn’t give an accurate read on every dog in every situation. YOUR. SAFETY. COMES. FIRST.

I would NEVER let a dog I don’t know in my car without a leash if avoidable. NEVER in my home without crate or confinement and NEVER EVER NEVER near my pets, kids, family members etc. This isn’t a lifetime movie. Stray/lost dogs are often stressed out. Thrilled and happy to be rescued until they realize they aren’t home, dinner time has passed, and you are not its owner. These are the dogs that come in wagging, then you can’t even get them out of the crate the next morning without fear of being bit. Stress on them is real. We have received these type of phone calls when people learn this the hard way. YOUR. SAFETY. COMES. FIRST.
🐶
No one reports their kid being bit a few hours after the dog was found. “Through no fault of his own the dog needs a new place to stay” because they’d rather save the dog at all costs than be honest about its behavior often due to the humans mistakes. Save the dog no matter who you put in danger. No. YOUR. SAFETY. COMES. FIRST.
🐶
If you are someone that cannot pass up helping a dog, keep a slip lead in your car. Slam it in the door so they cannot get to you while driving. Even friendly dogs can cause an accident. YOUR. SAFETY. COMES. FIRST.
🐶
These situations are often lead with our hearts, but please we need to use our heads. Ask yourself “what could possibly go wrong?” and move from there no matter how much pressure comes from people on a couch behind the safety of a keyboard. YOUR. SAFETY. COMES. FIRST. We good? Make sense? Grateful💚
