Care Basics
Quiet, practical checklists for everyday situations — what to do, what not to do, and when to ask for help.
Before You Act
- Pause and observe from a safe distance.
- Look for signs of injury, fear, or aggression.
- Avoid sudden movements or loud noises.
Simple Help You Can Offer
- Fresh water placed nearby (not forced).
- Shade or a quiet corner away from crowds.
- Space — sometimes distance is the best help.
What Not to Do
- Do not chase or corner an animal.
- Do not feed human food unless you’re sure it’s safe.
- Do not assume friendliness, even if the animal looks calm.
When to Seek Help
- Visible wounds, limping, or bleeding.
- Extreme lethargy or collapse.
- Situations involving traffic, construction, or children.
Pawscue is here to help you decide calmly — not to rush you into action.
