When you find a abandoned animal that appears to be healthy and unharmed: Congratulations! There is a much greater chance for this animal to be successfully adopted! Some issues to pay attention to for a healthy looking abandoned animal:

While a stray animal may appear healthy on the outside, they may still carry intestinal parasites that could be passed onto other animals or humans even. If you decide to bring the abandoned animal home, please keep it away from your own pets for one to two weeks before letting it socialize with your own pets. Go to a vet to get it examined and de-wormed. (Generic de-worming medication could be purchased online.) If you have never bathed a dog or cat before, you can also bring it to a pet specialist for its first bath.

If you are not able to keep the rescued pet and need to find adoption for the pet, you may still need to provide a temporary home for the pet. Some pet shops also provide boarding services for a fee. Most pet shops would require that the pet be properly and fully vaccinated and de-wormed before accepting the pet.

If you cannot find someone to adopt the rescued pet, please do not give up or leave the pet with the kennel. Pets abandoned at pet shops may be left out again on the streets and will be taken away by city workers. The pet would suffer the same fate if you had not rescued it in the first place!
