HoundsGood: Chronicles of a Virtual Volunteer

A friend of mine alerted me to a most heartbreaking tale in Georgia.   Two dogs are left chained outside with no food.  A puppy is inside a trailer (mobile home), and at least has shelter from the freezing rain, but has been alone for days.  It is unknown if there was enough food and water left for the little guy.   The outside dogs are VEry skinny so it is doubtful.  Even if so, water can be tipped over and food only lasts so long.   A local rescue is talking to the authorities, and it turns out that the man who owns these guys leaves for days at a time, leaving them behind with no one coming to check on them.   Since they are owned, the proper channels have to be gone through.

In the meantime, people have chipped in and purchased dogloos for the outside dogs, so at least they have some relief from the cold and rain until the owner returns.  Also, water and food will be provided.  I know it has been suggested before to not leave water and food because authorities could come by and see the water and food and make the assumption that the owner left it.  In this case, the authorities have been kept in the loop that people want to see these dogs kept alive.

The outside dogs are one female (with the ears partially standing up) and one male (in the second photo).  They allow people to approach them, as you can see.

If you are a rescue that can provide a warm place for these dogs, if it should come to pass that the owner surrenders them or authorities deem the person unfit if they do not comply, please contact Please contact Susan at Angel Dog Rescue at 229-334-2148 or Tammy at 860-543-4213 (leave message).
