This week is Have a Heart for Chained Dogs week!

This week is Have a Heart for Chained Dogs week here in the US. Sponsored by Dogs Deserve Better, this week is the week to shine the light on the sad and neglected life that chained dogs experience day in and day out.

Dogs should not have to live chained or penned as prisoners, yearning for a place in a family, craving acknowledgment, respect, and love. They deserve better, and we as caretakers have the obligation to provide it for them.

Dogs Deserve Better is a wonderful organization helping to free the chained dog. Their focus is on education, changing legislation and bringing more awareness to the sad life these pups lead.

Here are some tips DDB shares to help a chained dog in your city or neighborhood:
Start changing the way you and your community think about the chaining and penning of dogs today.

  1. That is such a sad picture. Dogs do deserve so much better. :(

  2. We actually passed an ordinance in our southern city (which had a chained dog in every other yard) that no dog could be attached to a "fixed point" for more than eight hours in a twenty-four hour period. It was a tremendous help to our Animal Control Officers, and it really made a difference.

    Thanks for bringing this to our attention.

    Patience
