Where can you send your dog forever? How to put a dog in good hands. How to put a dog in good hands

We see them often, but we pass by, deciding that it is too difficult: to attach a puppy, kitten, cat or dog. NU_online will tell you how, under minimal conditions, to help our little brothers find a home.

Don't think, but act

It would seem that a fun and easy mission is to accommodate several homeless animals in a week. But you know, having completed the task assigned to me, it did not become easier for me. Now I know firsthand how difficult it is to solve this problem.

You never know when and how your life will change. We are all in constant search of ourselves, endlessly trying to be needed by someone, not noticing how we spend energy in vain every day. Someone does not get out of computer games all day long, someone does not see life without the Internet - everyone is different, but you must admit that everyone has enough time to do a good deed.
Over the past week, I have met people who make happy and give meaning to the lives of thousands of homeless animals. Nobody pays them, moreover, they support them at their own expense until they find a home. “We find them everywhere: in porches, under houses, in boxes, under garbage. All of them are looking for a home and good owners who will not offend them, will protect and give affection. All animals have the right to a decent life. Unfortunately, the picture today is that there are a lot of homeless animals, and we are few. We need help, because if not us, then who else? ‒ with these words, enthusiasts of the Society for the Protection of Animals opened my eyes.

So my life has changed. I realized that you do not need to spend a lot of time thinking, you need to act.

Step 1. Understand that they are not to blame for anything

I decided to distribute animals at the entrance to the Park of Culture and Leisure. Some people passed by and snorted, parents told the children: "Don't touch him, he's nasty," teaching them from childhood to treat homeless animals inhumanely.

“The problem has not arisen now, it has existed for a long time. Its roots lie in the mentality of not even the Yakut, but the entire Russian people - in our irresponsible attitude towards our pets. Due to our carelessness, a deplorable situation has developed, which will be very difficult to resolve. Everyone has heard of the terrible tragedy in Berkakit - to prevent such cases from happening again, tough measures are needed. First of all, measures are needed in relation to dog owners: mandatory registration, vaccination of pets, a fine for throwing them out into the street, etc. The implementation of all this should be controlled by the state, and each violator should be severely punished. Secondly, tough measures are needed in relation to homeless animals on the streets. Harsh measures should be understood as trapping and destruction by specialized organizations. This is cruel, but otherwise the problem cannot be solved, ”says Innokenty Mordosov, Doctor of Biological Sciences, Professor of NEFU. Is this measure really necessary? Indeed, extermination is the easiest way to make a city "cleaner and safer." But who will we be with hands bloodied from the deaths of innocent animals? Is this a humane society? And after that, how can we assert at various hearings that we are developing and that our society is civilized?

Step 2. Take on overexposure

If you see a kitten or puppy, you can take him to your home. Naturally, with the permission of the rest of the household and provided that they do not have allergies.
You sheltered a homeless animal - you have already done a good deed. Now, taking into account his age, you need to choose food. If the baby is not yet a month old, his teeth are still erupting, you need to feed him with milk. If the pet is already a month old, you can buy dry food.

I have a lot of experience when it comes to overlays. As a child, playing football or chasing, I picked up puppies and kittens more than once. I see - I take. Only years later I realized that even overexposure is a big responsibility. Until you find a home and good owners for the baby, you are responsible for it.

I have an adult dog at home, so when I adopted the puppies, I was worried about their safety. But my protector made great friends with them and, moreover, shared almost all his food.
Doctors do not recommend bathing puppies until the age of three months, but if you picked up a puppy near the garbage bins, under the barn, then you need to wash it as carefully as possible. First, the ears should never be wet. Secondly, the water should be at room temperature. Thirdly, immediately after bathing, you need to wrap the baby in a clean and dry towel and keep it in it until the baby dries.

Also, the host must understand that they are still very small, respectively, helpless and vulnerable. To take on overexposure and forget about their existence is irresponsible. They, like newborns, require attention and care.

Step 3. Finding a New Home and a Responsible Owner

The first thing the host should be guided by is the search for a kind and responsible host. You have several ways to install:
1. Submit ads on various forums, blogs, communities, as well as in newspapers, on radio and television;
2. Call relatives and friends. If they can't, ask them to look for a pet home too;
3. Hang ads with a photo of an animal around the city;
4. Go outside and offer your puppy to passers-by.

I chose the fourth option. I was pleasantly surprised by the kindness of people, residents of our republic. Everyone, seeing the puppies and kittens, smiled, and some came up and played with the puppies. I watched this miracle and wanted to thank everyone whose heart skipped a beat at the sight of the little ones.

Activists of the society for the protection of animals "Mammoth" helped me. They are real heroes. If not for their kindness and constant concern for homeless animals, Yakutsk would have become a city of broken lives. Of all the babies that I adopted, only a puppy remained.

After I failed to attach it at the Animal Fair, which was held near the entrance to the Park of Culture and Leisure, I posted an ad on the Yakut portal Ykt.ru. But this method did not find the owner's baby. Then I decided to call my friends and found one lucky man who took her.

Step 4. Test for strength and conscience

Before giving away a puppy/kitten/other animal, take a phone number, take a picture of it, ask about its location at home, and find out if everyone in the household agrees to adopt an animal. If you were answered at least one of these questions rudely or wished to remain silent, then interrupt the conversation with this person and do not give the pet away. You must be sure when choosing a host.

And so, you attached a little one. But your mission does not end there. You must control how the four-legged now lives. To do this, call the new owner and arrange a meeting with the already pet. In case of any suspicion of unfavorable living conditions, take it away.

A drop in the sea

I am eternally grateful to all those who decided to get a pet. I believe that all puppies whose lives were in question have now found their place and the happiness of being loved. But what I have done is just a drop in the ocean. The situation of Yakutsk in terms of homeless animals is still critical. What to do?

Yegor Neustroev, teacher of the YAGSKhA, veterinary doctor of the Aibolit clinic, gave his assessment of the situation in the city of Yakutsk: “This problem has not been resolved throughout Russia.

We, as a humane society, must take care of our smaller brothers. Nowhere is it as cold as ours. In winter, homeless animals suffer: starve, freeze, die.

Therefore, we doubly need to create specialized places for homeless animals to live. In civilized countries you will not find a pack of stray dogs anywhere, there are special services for this. We do not have these services. The second problem is the manifestation of aggression not even in a stray animal, but in a domestic one. I think it is necessary to impose serious fines on the owners, because in most cases they evade responsibility, leaving only their pet to blame.”

Indeed, we can meet careless owners on every street, and, for example, in Germany you will not find a homeless animal anywhere. There, the release of an animal into the street is a strict administrative violation, which is punishable by a fine of 25 thousand euros.

In Italy, in this case, criminal liability is provided for up to a year in prison. Unsupervised walking is also prohibited, when the dog can harm passers-by. For owners of fighting dogs, special fines are provided for violation of walking and maintenance - up to 50 thousand euros.

At one of the conferences, the representative of the animal protection organization "First Step" Ruslan Raenko informed that 90% of the homeless are discarded animals. “We need to fight this problem. We need a program to sterilize pets. We need a law that will provide for the powers of the same veterinary control to persuade owners to sterilize their animals, even if they are not purebred. There should be an alternative to municipal shelters. It may be difficult, but it must be achieved,” he said.

Indeed, the most humane way is to keep animals in shelters. In many civilized countries, homeless animals are caught and placed in shelters, where they are waiting for new owners, and if there are none within a certain period, they are painlessly euthanized. The World Society for the Protection of Animals believes that euthanizing an animal is more humane than leaving it on the street.

Time goes by and there are more and more animals on the street. If we do not take measures for a decent life for our smaller brothers, no one will dare. The opening of the shelter will solve almost all the problems associated with the wandering life of animals, people will be able to come to the shelter and choose a pet, the cases of attacks on people will be reduced many times over, and the city will become kinder.

How to put a dog in good hands

So, you have a dog in your arms that you cannot take for one reason or another. We have analyzed some of the reasons in this article. There are other reasons when the question arises - how to put a dog in good hands. For example, you found a dog on the street, you could not find its former owners. It becomes clear that we need to look for a new family for the dog. How to do it?

First of all, it would be nice to go to veterinary clinic and check the dog's health. Now I will give "bad advice" to Muscovites. If the dog does not look neglected, is in a satisfactory condition, do not report to the veterinarian that the dog has been found. Otherwise, you will be sent to the state veterinary station, that is, you will have to wander around. Say that you adopted a dog from a shelter and want to check its general condition. Then the doctors of the clinic will not mind checking her health.

It is especially important to diagnose a puppy under the age of six months for infection and, if health is normal, get vaccinated. Remember that dogs and puppies that have veterinary passport.

The next very important step is photographing dogs.

How to take a photo of a dog if you want to put it in good hands

A photo of a dog for an attachment is best done in at home. Thus, you show potential owners that the dog is domestic, she already knows how to live in a house, apartment. At the same time, you can provide the dog with some funny "tricks" in the form of scarves, headbands, bows. For example, here is how I photographed the shelter dog Pippi, who lived in my apartment for some time before I placed her in a very good and kind family.

If you attach puppy, then it is better to take a photo, again, in an apartment or in a room where you can create a good, homely background. Here, for example, how this photo is - note that a cat appears in the background, that is, the photo itself demonstrates that the puppy will get along well with other pets in the house.

Of course, puppies, as it were, attract various funny little things to themselves - in the form of hats, bows, toys, baskets in which you can put puppies and let out their chubby paws. Be sure to take pictures of them with these extras because it's cute and heart warming. And when we get a dog at home, we want some of these emotions.

At the same time, you can additionally take a picture of a dog and against the backdrop of nature, just to demonstrate how she walks. For this purpose, you can even shoot a video. Photos and videos set against a backdrop of lush greenery or beautiful nature can be quite advantageous, in addition, in freedom, you can properly show the size and shape of the dog.

A photo in nature conveys the size well and become a dog. Shelter dog Monica is waiting for good owners!

But, if you can, don't limit yourself to nature photography. Again, shooting indoors has the added benefit of showing the dog as ready to live at home.

Before photographing, be sure to comb the dog, if necessary, wipe it with cleaning wipes.

Rules for a good photo shoot for a dog in good hands:

1. Don't Forget Before Shooting remove the flash- if you frighten the dog with a bright flash, he may further strain when shooting, which will not allow you to take good shots. If you invited a photographer to shoot, warn him about the same - not all photography professionals know how to shoot animals, or they can simply forget about this factor.

2. No need to shoot the dog above. This is usually an unfavorable angle when the dog seems a little intimidated or stunned. In addition, a picture from above will not convey either the appearance of the dog or its size, that is, it will be minimally informative.

The top shot is not a PR win.

3. Before shooting first take a walk dog, give her the opportunity to walk around, do all her business. Pet your dog with soothing gestures, give him a treat. All this will allow you to make her more calm on the set, and in addition, draw her attention to you, and therefore to the lens.

4. Try to have at least one photo convey dog looking into the lens or almost to it. Dogs are mobile creatures, so it can be difficult to achieve calmness and look into the camera lens. If you are shooting together, then take the dog on a short leash and plant it at the foot. Thus, you will achieve results faster.

Get the dog looking at or near the lens. Dog Kid is looking for good owners!

5. If you are filming a dog by oneself, then tie her to a tree on a long leash. Squat side by side and just quietly and calmly observe. When the dog stops chaotic movements, sniffing and calmly sits down or stands up, take pictures at that moment.

6. If you are filming video, do not remove the dog from the back, it is also not informative and not interesting for those who will watch this video. Make a short video of the dog playing or following commands. Video with the game can be supplemented with music if you know how to edit video in simple programs.

7. Do not film the dog while sniffing and generally with the head down. The best shots are taken when the dog's head is raised, ears too.

8. If there is an opportunity to shoot a dog in a photo studio, use it!

A photo in the studio against the background of a soft warm fabric or in elements of a home environment will add a plus to PR.

When you take a picture of a dog, you need to think about text ads.

How to write a PR text to put the dog in good hands

Text writing rule in order to attach a dog to good hands is very simple - you should not be indifferent. Feel free to add your emotion, after all, if you took a dog, messed around with it so much and wholeheartedly want good owners for it, it means that you have already invested enough mental strength in this pet! You got a good look at him, saw the smallest features of his character, ten times already thought about how and in what family it would be best for him to get. So write all this, trying to proceed, of course, not only from interests of the dog, but also from needs of those who will take this dog. It is not necessary to write only about the needs of the dog (good family, home, love and affection). Think about what the owners will get by purchasing such a pet. Read other people's ad texts on websites, boards and think about which of these ads would attract you personally and why.

In the ad, do not forget to place all the important information, preferably at the beginning of the ad - weight and (or) height, approximate age of the dog, the presence of a veterinary passport.

No need to write about the fact that the dog was "betrayed" is too beaten a cliché, which is more likely to cause rejection. It is clear that the dog went through some kind of misfortune before being in a situation where it needs to be housed. But it is not necessary to focus people's attention on this - they do not like longing, oppression and hopelessness. All this must not be in your ad! Avoid other clichés like: "will brighten up your loneliness, will be a good friend to you", from them your ad becomes like thousands of other faceless ads.

Well, if you have a poetic gift or know how to write in various genres - detective, parody, and so on. Such a presentation will hook the eye of the reader, perhaps draw attention to the dog. But in most cases, we are all not writers, so try to simply and honestly, amusingly, and maybe with humor convey character, habits, appearance and other features of your ward!

How and where to place an ad to get a dog in good hands

C there are many boards, where you can place an ad about the adoption of a dog in good hands. The most popular of them:

Yula

http://podberi-sobaku.ru/

https://soba4nik.ru/board/sobaki-v-dar

Understand the rules for submitting ads on these boards - in some you need to register, in others you don't. Various rules for raising ads to the first places in the issue. On some sites, you can resubmit an ad every day, and thus it will rise again. On others, such as Avito, they will block you for resubmitting ads. So be careful!

You can also advertise on social media.. On Facebook and VKontakte, in Odnoklassniki there are a huge number of pages on which animals are attached. However, if you look closely, there are no likes or upvotes under the posts, which means that these pages are only popular in the sense that a lot of people go there, ADVERTISING. From this point of view, I cannot judge the usefulness of these pages. There are really promoted pages that the search engine gives out, for example, this page In contact with. If you are registered in this network, give an announcement there as well.

But it's best if you have own social media page. Place your ad on it asking for repost. After that, go to any promoted pages of individuals who have many friends or subscribers - asking for a repost. This way you will spread your ad across the networks. There is confidence that the owners of promoted pages will treat you loyally if the dog is found by you, cured, rescued from difficult conditions. In short, if the announcement has a pronounced charitable character.

Of course, it's best if you have your own promoted page, but this is not always the case.

if you once engage in PR, then here you can find an assistant in order to attach the dog to good hands. It will cost 2-3 thousand per month. I can not judge the effectiveness of this service, but you can try at least a month and see if the result is.

Posting ads As a rule, it does not have any result, but it takes a lot of time and effort. So I can hardly recommend this method, it is good for those who are looking for the owners of a missing dog, but not for an attachment.

How not to make a mistake in choosing the owner, attaching the dog to good hands

All of you wish the best for the dog you are adopting. Otherwise, you wouldn't be doing it. That is why it is very important to give the dog to good hands, and not to someone who will bring additional misfortune to the dog, or even death.

Types of villains, hunting free dogs, is very wide. It can be:

a. Resellers looking for puppies or dogs that look like breeds.

b. Beggars who need a dog for income.

in. Employees of eateries and restaurants of Korean cuisine, do not disdain dog meat.

Mr. Zhivoders, as well as other mentally abnormal people, including those with bestiality.

e. People with an alcohol or drug addiction, which may be quite normal on the days of "enlightenment", but pose a real threat to the animal in moments of intoxication or while under drugs.

Be vigilant, giving the dog into the wrong hands!

You ask, how to distinguish these, in general, not numerous, but such dangerous representatives of the human race? Sometimes it's easy to tell them apart, sometimes it's hard. Therefore, it is better to do a few rules To make sure your dog is in good hands:

1. Do not give the dog away immediately on call. Check the phone, the name of the caller on all search engines, social networks, break through his phones on all search engines and on various "black lists" available on the Internet.

2. During the conversation, try to find out as much as possible details about the future owner dogs - the number of family members, whether all of them agree to have a dog, place of residence (house, apartment), whether there were animals before, what kind, what is happening with them now. Try to find it out gently and unobtrusively, but if a person refuses to talk about it, wriggles or avoids answering, this is not your option. A reasonable person - even if he is an introvert and a sociophobe - should understand that you are not asking out of empty curiosity. Does not understand - goodbye, look further.

3. Analyze what has been said - if a person has not informed other family members about his desire to adopt a dog, or does not consider it necessary to treat his dogs, or believes that his 80-year-old mother will walk the dog, or some other details from which it becomes clear to you, that this person is frivolous and not suitable - it is better to refuse such an option.

4. When meeting, carefully examine the future owners, draw a conclusion for yourself about their financial situation and lifestyle.

All family members agree to have a dog.

The family understands who will take the dog for a walk at least twice a day.

People have sufficient material wealth to feed and, if necessary, treat the dog.

The family has enough living space so that a dog of a certain size does not get in the way, causing everyone's annoyance.

People do not have pronounced signs of alcoholism or drug addiction.

People have a good idea of ​​what it means to take a dog and take care of it.
