You're going about your daily life when it happens: you see a dog on the side of the road, confused and lost. Or maybe a frightened kitten where no kitten should be. Or you witness a pet as it is tossed out of a passing car. . .what can you do? Take charge and risk getting stuck with a pet you don't want? Pass it by and feel bad forever? Worry in the middle of the night about whether you should have helped? How to Help Stray Pets and Not Get Stuck offers step-by-step methods for taking action to help stray dogs and cats, so that you can take them home without disrupting your home. And then how to find them excellent permanent homes. This is the method developed from scratch by one Mid-West family, a method that has worked for over 30 years. This is how to help the helpless without becoming an animal hoarder by explaining what to do and what not to do. New York Times best-selling author Diane Carey and her family have helped over 400 stray dogs, cats, and the occasional bird while keeping only one or two in each of their households. With strict rules and proven methods detailed in this book, you too can take charge when you see a helpless animal, and do it with confidence because you'll know what do to next.
