How to help a scared, malnourished, smelly stray dog on my porch?

This poor puppy! I would take him into your local SPCA. They can treat his fleas, take him into a vet for care, and can find a home for him when he's healthy. You can also see if there is a local dog rescue in your area to help you. I hope this helps!

Hi there, it was very nice of you to find this dog and take care of him overnight. I would recommend to call any local emergency veterinary hospital in your area or the local humane society/rescue organizations and let them know you have an injured dog that needs medical attention. Veterinarians can provide care to relieve pain and suffering at no charge. It is our duty as veterinarians to do so for animals. If you are considering keeping him as your pet he needs immediate medical attention as well. He is injured, needs evaluation, and needs medications for his parasites and pain. Best of luck.

The easiest way to get him would be to set up a live trap. You place food in the trap and when he eventually goes in to get it the door to the cage will close and he will not be harmed. The other option would be to continue what you are doing by visiting him frequently and offering him food and treats. Once he trusts you to get close enough you can slip a leash around his neck to secure him. Keep in mind that even if he comes to you once he will likely still be fearful for a long time. Good luck!

She could have parvo. If this is a stray dog I suggest you either take her to your local animal shelter or call animal control to come pick her up so she can get treatment. If you want to keep her then I suggest you take her to your local vet for an exam. I know this one is a little ways from you but you could call them for advice.

I am not sure where you live but you could search for some animal rescues in your area and contact them. They may have a way to help trap her and get her fixed and provide medical care. Depending on her temperment, they may be able to work with her and place her in a home.

Hi there and thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to address your concern. Unfortunately, the dog you see may have a systemic illness or infection. You can try feeding him ground beef or pork and see if he will eat more or offer canned dog food. Chicken broth added to the food may entice him more as well. If he is suffering from a disease, unfortunately he may not want to eat because he is so sick. If you are able to report him to an animal rescue, they may be able to catch him and take care of him but I know there are a lot of strays around and you may not be able to find a rescue that would take him in. I hope this helps get him to eat more! Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further.

Search for animal rescues near you. You can just google or try adoptapet.com Some veterinary offices may know of rescues or may be able to offer humane euthanasia if he is sick. Keep looking for resources locally. Thanks for trying to help this guy
