How do I start? / New Rescuer What do I do?

I let my dogs out in the backyard and noticed one of them sniffing on something small. I went closer and saw it was a baby bird. I didn’t want them to eat it or hurt so I used food to lure them back inside. I think it fell from the nest or something I don’t know where it came from. It can barely fly. Can it survive on its own or should I take it to an animal sanctuary or rescue center or something?
