Is there anything I can do about an abandoned dog? - General

There's an abandoned dog that's been hanging around in the street outside for the past couple of days, he looks like a really nice dog. :3: He's really skinny and looks sick, I tried to give him a piece of chicken and a bowl of water but he just runs under a car when I come near, so I put them down but he hasn't gone near them at all. I can't take him home, I'm on vacation in another country, is there anything I can do? :3: Here is a picture, it's from behind but it's the best I can do because he just runs away: [url]http://www.zimg.eu/i/1160093087[/url]

:( Phone a vet they should be able to advise you. Also be careful it might be mental and fuck your shit up

Any Korean take-aways nearby?

[QUOTE=xeonmuffin;29549419]Any Korean take-aways nearby?[/QUOTE] Not helpful in any way.

[del]If you're in the UK, give the RSPCA a call or nip down to your local RSPCA shelter ([url]https://www.rspca.org.uk/inyourarea[/url]) - [b]make sure nobody in your area owns it though, make door-to-door inquiries first[/b]. Note, however, that the RSPCA cannot take a stray dog into care, they'll only be able to give you advice - you'll need to contact your local authority / council for more information.[/del] [b]Edit:[/b] By the looks of things, you're in Spain. There probably isn't anything you can do, but maybe try calling into a local Tourist Information Center - they should speak English in there and might be able to make something happen.

You could try getting treats and saying "here boy"

Anyway i know people in Spain speak English go speak to one of them and ask them People become very helpful when an animal is in need of help. So ask the hotel people for help, some of them will speak English.

Google Translator, hope it doesn't horribly mess up what you're trying to say, write it down, learn to pronounce what you need to say (although probably failing) and try to talk to a vet.

There really isn't much you can do to be honest, if it has been living on the street for all it's life it's probably filled with all kinds of worms and parasites. Spend some time with it, give it a few days in his miserable life he can remember.

I spoke to someone who said he was thrown out a car there 2 days ago and that's why he's hanging around here. [editline]1st May 2011[/editline] I added a picture to the OP.

It looks like a deer. [editline]1st May 2011[/editline] A baby deer..what are they, bambi? [editline]1st May 2011[/editline] What kind of asshole throws a dog out of a car and drives away?

Dog in Spanish: 'Un Perro'

I'm not gonna lie, it looked like a headcrab from a distance.

Whenever you go abroad you see alot of stray dogs.

*Looking at the pic in the OP* It looks like a headcrab. :byodood:

Can you remove the picture? I linked to it in the OP instead of embedding it because I have 4KB/s internet here. :sigh:

I speak spanish I can translate something for you if you need

There are stray dogs and cats all over a lot of countries like Spain, Italy, former Yugoslavia etc. There's not really anything you can do for them, they're pretty much wild and there's too many of them for the authorities to see any point doing anything about them other than occasionally culling them maybe. People just don't give a shit. When I was in Croatia there were kittens [I]everywhere.[/I] One night a kitten with one eye and one ear climbed inside my sandal after I dropped some fish paste for it and some got inside. So many kittens :smith:
