Fact: Muslims are allowed to feed and take care of dogs. While certain guidelines exist about keeping dogs as pets , there is no prohibition against feeding or caring for them.
Abu Huraira reported: The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “A prostitute had once been forgiven. She passed by a dog panting near a well. Thirst had nearly killed him, so she took off her sock, tied it to her veil, and drew up some water. Allah forgave her for that.”
