In its wisdom, the town where I live decided not to enter into a contract with the SPCA ($), so it is not possible to borrow a live animal trap from the SPCA here.

So, be prepared to be creative. There are other animal rescue groups out there; ask around if necessary.

It's really nice that so many are offering advice on this topic. I hope that by now the puppy the OP is concerned about has been rescued and given a nice home.
