< Back COMMUNITY DOG / ABANDONED DOG INTEGRATION GUIDE It is illegal to relocate stray / community animals under Section 11(1) (i) and Section 11(1) (j), PCA Act, 1960. In some cases, a community dogs may stray from another area owing to dog fights, human threats, fireworks / crackers, during mating season or while following a caretaker. Other instances may be abandonment of a domestic pet into a new area. In some cases, a bunch of puppies or adult dogs may also be illegally relocated to a different area. This section talks about some tips to deal with these scenarios. Community dog straying: Initial reaction of the territory group will be curiosity followed by mild aggression amongst them. Let them sort it out. If the fight goes out of control and a particular dog / s is getting hurt then intervene by throwing some water. Do not walk into the fight or try to break it in another fashion by pelting stones, using sticks or trying to pull them apart. Relocation: the dog will stay or stray away to another area. In the event the dog stays, Integration is key. Integration means facilitating familiarity among dogs. Feed them together. Make the alpha male or female feel reassured and comfortable by feeding them first. This is a way to let them know their territory isn't under threat. If there are fights, call out names and break the fights or use water to diffuse the situation. Eventually the new dog will acclimatize in a group that's in line with his / her personality. Remember to sterilize & vaccinate the dog if not done already. The process of settling down will take a month tops. You will witness intermittent unrest until then. The frequency will taper down eventually. They will learn to coexist and mind their own business in their respective spots. If you notice the new dog being bullied or cornered too often, corrective behavioral approach is recommended such as assertive NO’s and DON’T’s. Hand signaling. Gentle reminders every now and then. Trust me, the more you speak with animals, the more they understand and align. If one of your community animals have been illegally relocated : If you know who did it, first step is to talk to that person, find out the reason and get the location. This is going to be a huge effort and results are not guaranteed. It will warrant a constant and consistent hunt to locate the dog if you have been given the location. Once you have located the dog (let’s hope you always do!), find out about the surroundings. See if there is a local caretaker who has taken a liking to the dog and is willing to passive or active adopt. Work with the new caretaker to integrate the dog and ensure he/ she is well settled. If not sterilized, organize that as soon as possible. If the option above is not a possibility, try to talk to the one who relocated the dog and explain the legal consequences and that the dog has been found and will return to the vicinity. At this stage, you are going to need legal intervention in the interest of the dog, yourself, the person who relocated the dog and the other animals under your care. Abandoned dog s - secure the dog. Take for a vet inspection. (For a physical and medical examination) Look for a home. Board / foster if affordable, else sterilize, vaccinate and integrate. If you’re ready to adopt or find a potential home, that’s a great option. NGO's and shelter homes can be contacted for guidance as well. (Additional details available in FAQ section) Previous Next

< Back PERCEPTION MANAGEMENT RECOMMENDATION FOR CARETAKERS 1.Adopt an inclusive approach as much as possible. Creating awareness doesn't come easy. Spread the word around your neighborhood, law & order officials and local authorities about what and why you do for community animals. Carry a copy of 51A (g) stray / community animal protection law copy with you so they understand you're performing duties as ruled by the supreme Court. Request support. 2.Once in a while, during festivals, engage with the neighborhood. 3.Enlarge the constitutional rights of strays 51A (g) , laminate and put it up on your gate (If you live in an independent house OR make a sticker and put it up on your vehicle) so people can read. 4.When questioned or facing objection, explain that you're a responsible feeder and citizen. You not only feed but take care of sterilization, vaccination and you're performing duties as ordered by the law. While they aren't obligated to support, their interference will be considered as breach of law 5.Emphasize on the importance of ABC / AR programs. Explain the ripple effects of your compassion. 6.Make alliances with supporters in the vicinity so you're not alone and you can spread more awareness. 7.Explore options to change the feeding spot if circumstances are getting acrimonious. Instead of leaving a bowl (If that is the case), will feeding in a secluded place help? 8.Agree on a designated feeding area and time slot. Encourage others to leave left over food in the same spot. (while highlighting what can and cannot be fed) 9.If cost and bandwidth permits, print a small leaflet on stray animal laws and distribute in your locality 10. Seek the help of local authorities for amicable intervention, awareness sesssions and periodic monitoring & support. Previous Next

< Back EFFECT OF YOUR DECIBEL LEVELS ON COMMUNITY ANIMALS (ALL ANIMALS) AND HOW TO BEFRIEND THEM Society evolves not by shouting each other down but by the unique capacity of unique individual beings to comprehend each other” – Lewis Thomas. 1.Don’t scream. It could intensify the situation. It will get the animal more stressed or increase the energy level, anxiety and excitement of the situation. 2.Dogs / animals are highly in tune with their own energies, surroundings and our energies. If they sense you are angry, frustrated or upset they will be less responsive. 3.Approach and befriend in a calm way. 4.Offer treats. 5.Let the dog sniff you and get comfortable. 6.Stand sideways to the dog. Don’t hover over the head or approach from behind. Don’t charge towards the dog either. Just stay calm. Don’t directly reach towards the head to pat. 7.As an extension of the above, don’t approach other domestic pets as well without the pet parents’ permission. You view it as a friendly and compassionate gesture; the animal will view that as intrusion. It is always polite to ask permission of the animal and human. 8.Gain trust. Avoid large objects, bags, ropes etc while approaching. 9.Give the dog / animal time to warm up. Do not rush anything. Walk away and return another time. 10.Specially with community animals, they are highly alert and suspicious of their surroundings owing to mixed experiences on the street. 11.Strong human-animal relationships are built on stability and respect.
