Rescue A Shelter Pet

Many dogs spend their whole lives in solitary confinement, fastened by the neck to the end of a chain.

Chaining a dog is a cruel, inhumane practice, and here are some reasons why.

1. Dogs are loving, sociable beings.

2. Chained dogs can't escape if they're attacked.

3. Dogs eventually become anxious, agitated, even territorial and aggressive when they are constantly chained and alone.

4. Many chained dogs live outside through pouring rain, frightening thunder storms, oppressive sun, heat and biting insects in summer.

5. Chained dogs frequently spill their water, leaving them with nothing to drink for hours.

6. When dogs' constantly pull and strain to escape confinement, their necks can become painfully raw and covered with open sores. Their collars can become deeply embedded in their necks.

8. A dog's chain can become entangled with tree branches, shrubs, or other objects and the dog can strangle to death.
