rescue supplies
Travel much? Good things to carry in a car when you encounter a stray dog or cat...

1. puppy food (high calorie)
2. leather gloves
3. sturdy slip lead
4. bowl/water jug
6. packaged meat sticks
7. canned pet food
8. dog biscuits
9. fold down wire crate
10. towels
11. Capstar flea tablets

I found a stray dog on the roadway. She was shy, but eventually came to me when I offered a 'Slim Jim' meat treat. I put a slip lead over her head as she ate the treat. I wore leather gloves and  gently picked her up and put her in the crate in my car. She was pregnant and had pups the next day. Momma and her 8 pups were eventually adopted out to lovely indoor homes, thanks to that enticing 'Slim Jim.'
