If I’m correct, the puppy is exposed to the elements with no shelter. Also, my dog, Peaches, lived for 13 years a happy, healthy, playful dog. Most people would agree (including me), that a 17 pound dog should be inside, but it’s not like putting a 3 pound Yorkie out there, ya know? And Peaches wouldn’t have it any other way. Because of a heart murmur (and old age) that was discovered about 3 months before she died, she was forced to be inside with minimal exercise so she could rest and not be stressed. She HATED it. You could see it in her eyes; she wanted to be outside. She wanted to run, to play, to bark, to pee and poop on free will wherever and whenever she wanted, to mingle with other dogs, and to feel the breeze. She would dart out the door if you opened it to come inside. Some dogs just like the outside better. -Peaches and Jeni |

second, i think that some of u are missing the point. i think its fine to have an outside dog. dogs like it outside.(well some prefer to be inside,ie my dog,inles im outside with her). but the point is, this isnt a dog. its a puppy. only a couple months old. and my neighbors are druggies, so no, it doesnt have its shots. iehter way, a couple month old puppy, has no business being outide all day and night. we have concrete backyards. and im not gunna buy it a dog house,becuz wen its not a puppy, they’ll probably get rid of it, like most people do.and this housing allows pets.so there isno legal reason for it being outside. the owners r just A holes. |

My uncles dog is special in a lot of ways, but he likes to be outside all the time. He rarely will come inside before 3 or 4 in the morning because he likes it out there. People throw their dogs outside if they have been misbehaving or did something bad like pooped on the carpet or something. There’s a million reasons for a dog to be locked outside and if you think about it, it’s a lot better than being trapped in a cage with 30 other puppies in a dim room. It sounds like in these circumstances that these people are just keeping their puppy out for no apparent reason but who knows... I’m not saying there’s always a good reason, just that you can’t assume things. |

We kept our wolves outside, they had an enclosed doghouse with straw in it, and lived happy lives as such, My goats live in an outside enclosure with straw in the Houses...they are not on cement and do fine, My other four ie 2 danes a boxer and a pitamute are inside and outside dogs, the boxer and pit mix are outside during the day with the horses come in at night and danes stay in during the day and go potty when they need to... I have seen both sides and outside dogs are alright so long as they are given the proper shelter for protection from the elements and have clean water and are fed... Some people are stupid and simply get the dog to say they have one or get the dog because they want one but like someone mentioned cant keep them inside... I dont agree with chaining a dog either not a puppy I believe the yard should be able to support the animal and be secured to keep your dog from getting out and other dogs from getting in...chaining should be a final resort when all other methods have failed ie they keep getting out and you have tried EVERYTHING.. that doesnt mean calling it quits after the dog gets out several times.. our wolves used to dig out a LOT so we started digging the trenches about 2 feet deep lay the wire BEND it and lay a cinder block every 4 or so feet then rebury.... when they tried jumping the fence we lined the top with electrical wire let them feel it once then shut the wire off (once was enough) none of our dogs have ever lived chained we have always adapted so that they could be secure..Im not saying anything negative towards anyone that may or may not chain their dogs, Im simply speaking my opinion. at any rate arguing over ’weed’ is a good way to get this post taken down, keep it in the PMs this IS a family forum yadda yadda and bad enough mys@ce gets a bad rap because of something a kid sees on it, we dont need that for RZ |

i completely agree with everything you said though, and i know a lot of people who get dogs just for the hell of it. chihuahuas are popular "oo theyre so cute i want one!" accessory dogs because they stay small for their whole life, but people generally don’t have problems with them that i’ve seen because they don’t need that much space to be content =P |

i never said they were POT heads. i said they were stoned. there are multiple drugs u get stoned off of. also, i kno plenty about all drugs. and for u to assume it has the same effect on all people, makes u kind of one sided, and a little bit of a hpocrit urself, as u tell me and others to "open their eyes". all drugs/liquer does different things to different people. plain and simple. nothing is black and white. and im sorry if u dont agree with me. maybe u need to educate urself on drugs and alcohol effect people as individuals,not as a group. anyways, off that, stupid subject. i dont liv next to those people anymore, so i dont have to deal wih it.wen my friend gets back to town, shes gunna see if their treating it the same, if so, shes gunna call the spca, and see if theyll do anything about it. |

Now I am not saying that is the case with this dog but not all owners that have outside dogs are neglectful. Randi |

Anyway, an interesting point was brought up that reporting the owners and getting the dog removed from the property only to be put to sleep would be terrible. I don’t think so. First of all, a little puppy is extremely unlikely to be put to sleep. Everyone wants puppies. Second of all, allowing these people to continue to own a dog they can’t care for is irresponsible. A neighbor who watches a dog suffer year after year without doing anything about it is just as guilty of cruelty as the animal’s owner, in my opinion. It takes a neighborhood to raise a dog, and I am grateful for my wonderful neighbors every day. We all look out for the neighborhood animals and have several times had to report the people who live on the next street and used to let their rottweilers run loose. These people need to be educated about how to care for a dog properly, or the cycle of abuse will continue and many more animals will suffer in the future. Some people just need to have it shoved in their face that not providing adequate care for their animals is often a felony offense and can even lead to jail time. That puppy will be MUCH happier, even if (let’s pretend) it does end up being put to sleep, if his last days are spent sheltered, fed, loved, and cared for and his ending is peaceful and pain free. Leaving it to suffer without shelter being kicked around every day is not being kind, that is selfish. Knowing he is technically still alive is not knowing he is well. Giving the owners a cheap old dog house will not change their behavior. They need to be talked to, educated, and worked with to provide the dog with a good life, or else the dog needs to be removed from the situation. "Kill" shelters are not out to euthanize animals, they are out to protect them and make sure that they don’t suffer. Yes, this means some have to be put to sleep, but it also means that those animals will never suffer or be homeless again, that they will be fed and sheltered prior to euthanasia, and that they will at least have a shot at a second chance and a good life. Shelter overpopulation is NOT the fault of the shelters!! It is the fault of people like this neighbor who get animals without any thought to the responsibility involved in providing them with happy, healthy lives. Imagine the painless process of euthanasia, and imagine the ways dogs die slowly and painfully outside instead. Would it really be better for the dog to grow up never leaving one yard, with no shelter and no vet care, until it dies of some untreated illness, gets hit by a car, is beaten, etc. etc. compared to a peaceful ending with a full belly in a warm room at a shelter? I don’t think so. It’s quality, not quantity. A dog doesn’t have a concept of how long he has lived, will live, or should live. All a dog understands is whether or not his basic daily needs are being met, whether or not he is fed, sheltered, and loved. It is a human characteristic to fear death. |
