take some food, put it down near the dog, and let the dog get to know you.
I have caught and rehomed strays before and this usually works, but you have to be patient and quiet to gain the dog's trust. Stick a lead on it and try and take it home and you will freak it out and it will be a disaster.
Just let the dog come to you, until it lets you stroke it, then get it to follow you a bit, putting food down all the time (get a box of dog biscuits). You want it to want to follow you.
Good luck staffies are awesomely lovely dogs (I currently have two Staffie crosses)
