Anyone with a big heart and a love for animals can become a guardian angel to strays. You can be the difference between life and death for an animal. And you may be that animal's only hope to find his or her family or to be adopted by a new family. People often think that someone else will take care of the problem, but there are so many animals who need help that it's up to each one of us to do everything within our powers every time we see an animal in need. When animals roam, whether lost or abandoned, they face extreme risks. Removing animals from dangerous situations can literally save their lives. Helping a wandering stray prevents injury or death by traffic, starvation, cruelty, disease, attacks from other animals and other dangerous and inhumane conditions. Bringing the animal to safety is the kindest thing you can do...

Strays are in the mercy of the people whom they come across and as domesticated creatures, they are almost entirely dependent on human compassion. Many people want to help, but are apprehensive or unsure of what to do.
