Using a Temporary Camera to Help a Stray Dog

Santa Fe NM, December 2025

When a stray dog began appearing regularly in a remote arroyo, we set up a temporary, battery-powered camera near the feeding area to better understand its routine and timing. The purpose was observation and coordination, not security.

The camera allowed us to confirm when the dog was present during feeding times, whether it showed signs of injury, and how consistently it returned to the area. This helped ensure food was being accessed.

By monitoring the feeding area over time, we were able to share accurate information with local rescue contacts and begin working toward a plan to safely locate and assist the dog once it became more accustomed to people.

This short-term setup demonstrates how camera monitoring can be used responsibly and compassionately to support animal welfare efforts.
