Did You Know
I am a pack animal.
Since my pack of long ago is gone, you, my human family, have become my pack. When I'm not with you, I suffer mentally and physically; I'm shut out of my pack and I don't know why.
I am more likely to bite when chained or penned
I can become very territorial of my tiny space as a result of living alone, and I am 2.5 times more likely to bite. I could attack any toddler who wanders into my territory before you can step in. From Oct. 2003 through January 2007, at least 115 children in the U.S. were killed or seriously injured by chained dogs. Emma-leigh was one of the lucky ones who escaped with her life: 200 stitches a wired jaw, a cervical collar, and a future forever changed. You will be held responsible if I harm an innocent child because I've never learned how to live with people.
I deserve better.
Every dog deserves to live as part of his/her human family, regardless of size or breed. I like it outside, yes, but ONLY when you are with me. NOT for life! When you are inside, I want to be inside with you.
What can you do?
Bring me into your home and family. Fence our yard. Take me for walks, make me part of the pack. Take me to obedience training and house train me.
What will Dogs Deserve Better do?
Dog Deserve Better offers help to bring me into the home. If resources are available, they provide services and materials. They provide fencing if I am brought into the home to live. They purchase a crate to help with house training. They help with house training, or will even house train me. They will foster me and find me a new indoor home where i can be part of a family. I do deserve better! Call them to see what is available in our area.
