I've HAD it!

I hate people! Poor puppy. Maybe this dog would have a better chance being adopted out in a shelter to a ranch home to give the dog a job? These dogs shouldn't be sitting in a yard doing nothing. Then again no dog should. The dog is probably going crazy because he is not getting excercised properly or even paid attention to. Luckily they aren't my neighbors or I would take the dog to my shelter where I work to give the dog a better home.

Yeah I almost cried when I poke through the fence earlier today...
He DOES need a job- and the funny thing is, I'm pretty sure he was adopted from a shelter.... I've never seen that dog out for a walk, or heard him being played with in their backyard.

Poor guy. Can you maybe talk to them? Sad Christmas is coming up and he will be out in the yard with nobody to play with. This makes me sick to think there are dogs out there that live outside and nobody cares about them. Is he even getting fed and proper shelter and water? If not, I would call AC especially since it's been so cold. Puppies normally can't regulate their body temperature at that age even.

He could freeze to death. I would maybe put a blanket for him tonight if you can and maybe some treats if you are sure the people won't come after you. It's a risky move to do that, but if you feel safe doing it for the poor guy then I would. If not just talk to the pup. I am sure he appreciates YOU being there to even give him a bit attention than that so called family would.

Thanks
He doesn't look the least bit underfed, he looks good. It hasen't been THAT cold, but I just checked yahoo weather and it says it it 46 degreed outside.... but that is cold!
About the blanket, I would eathier have to break into their house and go through the back door to get into their backyard, or hop the fence, and the dog might see me as an intruder and kill me, lol! He might even sleep inside, or in the garage at night, but I'm not sure.

I've called AC (on ]halloween) and they sent them a warning letter about the barking, and also sent me the log to jot down the dates and time he barks, and for how long it goes on. The barking was getting to me SO bad 2 weeks before the week of thanksgiving, I was trying so very hard to study for finals, and he was barking yet again. (Thankfully I passed, or I would have strangled those people, LOL) Anyway I called them that week and asked them if they could just come out and talk to these people, I even confirmed that they were home! (Me being a peeping tom, looking through the fence, lol) The woman told me you need to complete the log before we can do anything. Ugh I was so frustrated!!

I hate idiotic stupid irresponsible pet owners. There, I've said it.

Poor dog. Bless you for trying to help. Hopefully AC can 'educate' them or talk them into giving the dog up.

Oh man, what crappy neighbors. They really should get that dogs barking undercontrol. How long has this been going on? Is it because the dog isn't used to being outside? IMO I would never leave my dogs loose unattended in a yard. A stressed dog will dig and destroy stuff. Do they give him enough toys outside to keep him occupied? I know it's not enough mental stimulation for the dog to be fully content without his owners playing with him...Hopefully that dog has the smarts enough not to try to come into your yard. I personally would run a hot wire along the bottom/middle of your fence. Just to protect your own rear end from their irresponsibility.
