When we lived in town, nearly everyone on the streets around us had dogs, mostly outside. At least I walked mine everyday, we saw many that never seemed to leave the yard...I felt really bad for a lot of them. our next-door neighbors got a dog (because their kids likes Star so much), but I often felt like kidnapping him for his own good - they constantly yelled at him, I saw the older kids kick him, and they never gave him a decent house or fencing. He was, however, extremely overweight. When he grew up, he'd take off at least once a week - amazingly, that 's when they'd "miss him" and eventually get him back after the dog catcher picked him up. He was the sweetest dog, too, very loyal. We moved almost two years ago, so I don't know whatever happened to him.

That link that chocolatepuppy posted is a very helpful site Jadapit. It has literature you can print out in letter form to anonymously send to the houses where you see these dogs penned. There is even a door hanger you can print out. When you go to the site and click on the door hanger, go to the very bottom and in small print it gives an option to print the door hanger instead of paying to order a whole bunch. It may not do any good, but at least you did something to try and help the penned dogs and you never know, sometimes people just need to be educated.

Thanks so much for pointing that out pit chick. I did go to that site but I didn't see that. I think I will do it. What could it hurt and like you said maybe it will help. I will feel better knowing I did something anyway.
