Stop Dog Chaining Across the U.S. Once And For All!
Target: U.S. State Representatives Excluding CA, MA and TX

It's so hard to believe anyone could do it, but many helpless dogs spend their entire lives in "solitary confinement," trapped at the end of a chain or in a small pen. For a social pack animal, there's no crueler punishment.

Dogs are members of the family, not old bicycles, lawn ornaments or furry alarm systems. And chaining dogs is dangerous. Chained dogs are nearly three times more likely to attack than dogs not tethered, and children are most often the victims of these attacks.

More than 80 cities and two states already restrict chaining because of the suffering it causes, but dogs across the U.S. should be protected from this cruel practice. Tell your local state representative to introduce and/or support ordinances that ban or severely restrict dog-chaining!
