Dear Sinéad and Siouxsie:
I need help. I have a wonderful cat which we all love very much, but we have 
a problem. We are feeding a stray dog who is not socialized and has been here 
for months. No matter what we do, he is very wary. We were hoping to socialize 
him to get him a home, not here. That's what puss says--not here. We cannot 
figure out why the dog will not make friends with us or our neighbors who also 
feed him. We must find a way to get him a home, as the dog pound has already 
been out looking for him and set a trap. Of course, he won't go in it. That's 
good. But his time is running out and he is so sweet, we would like to find him 
a home. He is outside in the cold weather and you cannot entice him in. Any 
thoughts or help you can offer will be deeply appreciated.
Thank you!
Joyce
