I feed her and give her fresh water. She has a warm box. She’s a Sheltie with a collar but NOBODY can come close to her. I think she has lost her master/mistress and is grieving. REALLY grieving.
It will be getting into the 30’s. It will not get into the low 30’s very often. I have done EVERYTHING I possibly can to find her home or give her a home. Now it’s come to this ... and it will be getting cold.
I’ve named her Maggie May.

A dog will be warm in the winter if you offer her or him a house with straw as bedding . The house should be not too much larger that the occupant! My vet told me a dog is much warmer in that kind of house than in your garage or barn. The small house will reflect the animals body heat and the straw will be an insulator. Outdoor dogs get a good coat of fur in the winter. Your Maggie May should be good with these suggestions. I hope you and her be come friends and that you can help her with her grief! Good luck to you both! AND thanks for caring!

Call animal control in your town. They will keep her for 2 weeks. The owner may have already checked with them. If in two weeks no one claims her, adopt her and put her back in the shelter you gave her. At least try animal control as they might actually find her owners.

I am careful that I don’t alert anyone who might catch her and put her down.
Animal control keeps a list of missing animals as well as those found for the owner's to check with...

I can’t imagine how people can let animals suffer.

It’s gonna be a long, cold winter.
I have two stray cats. My second cat was about one year old, when I found her. It took about six months before she trusted me and I could get her indoors. I always fed her, in area where she stayed. I have her about two years now, She is always repaying me with her love.attention, and follows me every where in the house, especially to bed. She loves to purr, when I stroke her. She is very much a one person cat. I think people are dropping of pets, in different areas, because they cant afford to care for them any more. Very sad, but lucky for my two cats.
