The first 10 minutes: what to do

Secure the scene: Move the animal out of traffic only if it's safe for you. Approach slowly from the front — injured animals may bite out of fear. Offer water, not food: Small sips of water help; avoid feeding, especially if the animal is vomiting or may need surgery. Call a helpline: Start with the city helplines on this page. Say the animal's condition, the species, and the exact location with a landmark. Report it on PawRescue: A photo and a GPS pin create a public rescue case that verified rescuers can accept and track — it stays visible even if calls go unanswered. Stay findable: If you can, wait near the animal or leave a clear marker. Rescuers lose precious time searching when the reporter has left.
