Look at these eyes....

[Grace]

This is my uncle's dog, Tucker. BC/American Eskimo. They also have her brother, O'Riley, but he was scared of firecrackers that were going off and wouldn't come out.

These dogs are penned up almost 24/7, usually with no water or food. The only exercise they get is running behind my uncle's van. They are COVERED in mats and burrs.

I don't know what to do.

Report the situation to your local animal control or humane society, ASAP.

Believe me, I've called before. They do nothing.

[Grace]

Why?

[Lady's Human]

Dognap them?

I can't see how ANYONE could ignore those eyes.

[Alysser]

Can you find someone who will foster them, or can you offer to foster them? Those eyes are killing me...

How could they neglect a face as sweet as that?? I hope you can figure out something to help the poor pups out.

That is not a good breed to keep penned up 24/7 I know it's hard and arduous, but have you tried education? I know it's hard when you're dealing with friends and family, but in the end it's the dog that loses. So, maybe an e-mail or something would be easier (if he uses e-mail)?

It sucks that the dogs are not properly cared for. I know that if animal control won't help and you can't take the dogs it's hard. Maybe if you live close enough to your uncle you can offer to brush the dogs out. Maybe you could go feed the dogs and water them.
