Pics Of Neighbors Dog Pen

[Vela]

Sadly enough that is nicer than the pen my neighbors keep their poor dog in. I don't think they have ever cleaned up the poop and he never gets let out. They do feed him but he sleeps curled up in half of a feed bucket to try to keep warm. He's a lab mix boy. In the summer the nice strong poop smell comes right in my bedroom window, very pleasant. AC here won't do anything because he has what could be consdiered a dog house and food. They unfortunately don't require that you love your dog or keep it clean =( I go over sometimes to give him loves through the fence, he is the sweetest dog. I don't even know why they bother to have him. He feels gross when I give him loves but it's not his fault. I'd steal him but I'm afraid being my neighbor they would know, obviusly. I can't even beleive how much poo is in there. He has no choice but to walk in it and its now a wet messy mud pit besides. I just don't see why bother to have a dog just to keep it outside and ignore it most of the time=/

You have such a kind heart to help these 2 Weims. That's just horrible that their so-called "owners" don't even care a bit about them. You shouldn't even own an animal, if you don't care for them. That makes me sooo sad.

dont you notice that when dogs are dumped outside with really bad living conditions they are super sweet and freindly?

Not all dogs kept outside get enough socialization to be friendly, sadly. Some are just plain fearful, and with good reason.

If your town's Animal Control has an email address, I'd send those pictures to them, with a good description, describe that the dogs regularly escape, and ask what can be done about making the owners improve the dogs' living conditions.
