It is generally unacceptable to have an outside only pet, when NO other option exists.

If there is only one outcome, outside in garden versus outside in high kill shelter, people pick the most humane option.

But keeping any pet outside only is cruel, when they have the chance to be inside (or inside/outside IMO) either at no-kill shelters OR rehoming to an inside home.

Julie,

Go with your heart, if you can afford to keep him safe and sound, who are we to argue.

A cheeky question, can't the doggie come inside at your house ? (After a proper introduction with the kitty kats of course)
