Is a tough question, and it is always individual, from dog to dog, situation to situation.
Animals without Limits are out on the streets conducting research, feedings and helping sick dogs. Last Sunday we drove out around 10.00 in the morning, and that was already too late in the day. Street dogs are up early out on their "hunt" before humans even start to wake up. But it was a lovely view to see big old dogs laying comfortably in the sun, sunbathing their fat bellies.
Many off these dogs would have their hearts broken if we took them and replaced them at this late stage in their lives. They have "survived" many years on the streets; they know the people around them, and the people are comfortable with them as well. They are getting fed and have an old blanket somewhere under some concrete blocks, or in the shade.
It also depends in what area the "oldies" are living, and the people's mentality in that area.
My partner-in-rescue Kath came up with a great mission idea for these content, fury fellows. Why not bring a supply of flea, tick and mosquito drops?
With the summer coming they will get many mosquito bites, fleas and ticks. Like Kath said,
"We can make their days more comfortable by not being itchy and also possibly avoid being infected with leishmaniasis and tick borne diseases. It may be just enough of a fighting chance for some of these guys to get through the summer healthy."
This is Amore thinking!
