| Sponsor Fencing for Chained Dogs
|
|
| Bear lived chained to this 'shiny doghouse' in PA, but was still very sad and lonely, which is why sponsoring a doghouse cannot be the answer. Dogs Deserve Better regularly provides $200.00 in welded wire fencing for anyone willing to bring Fido inside to live. In cases of multiple dogs chained to the same area, we provide fencing even if they are not brought inside to live so they may play and sleep together.
Your help provides fencing to dogs like Black, in Atlanta, Georgia, first chained and then showing off in his new fenced yard, enjoying his new-found freedom. Yes! I want to Sponsor a Fence $200.00 I

Indiana Fencing Success Story
"One day in April I was at an adoption/fund raising event and a man I knew from the local pet fair, approached me asked me if I would go see his neighbor. He said they have 2 dogs in one pen with 2 dog houses and they needed someone to help the dogs. On April 19th we went there and found a terrible mess. A pit bull named Peetie and a husky shepherd mix named Harley were living in the pen. There was straw and of course it was soaked in urine and thick with feces. Jamie had given them a fencing application and on this day my Husband and I went to pick it up. I was heartbroken and to be honest, very frightened of Peetie ( Jamie can swear this is true, the day she took the app over there, she wouldn't even go near the kennel because of him ) Peetie acted as if he wanted nothing more than to rip through the kennel and kill us both. He was very violent ... nonstop. The time between that visit and the day we installed the fence, it rained, it rained ... and then it rained some more making for a very thick very smelly situation in the kennel. Finally we had an evening and with the weather cooperating, we managed to get the fence installed ( all the while Peetie still acting as if he wanted to kill us, my husband bent over really close to the kennel to spray paint a spot on the ground for post placement and I swear Peetie was going to grab him on his ass cheek ... he moved just in time). The
owners had some chain link fencing there already and the rest
of the fencing we used was donated. We attached it to the neighbors
fences and now they have a very nice, large fenced yard and the
total cost for all the posts, the gate, the wire and hardware
was only $133.44. Georgia Fencing Success Story
"Bob, Rose and I worked all day Sunday (yesterday) and what’s left to do can be done by Bob after work this week. He really is handy and a hard worker. He’s back at his old job, working 6 days a week and long hours, but that didn’t stop him from spending his only day off sinking posts, stretching fence and figuring out how to make things work. He even had time to play with the dogs. I think that’s one of the main reasons these dogs still have good personalities – Rose and Bob (and others) are nearly always in the yards with the dogs. They get more face time with people than many family dogs."—Pam Cheathem, DDB Georgia Rep Oklahoma Fencing Success Story
"I'm
a pet dog trainer (clicker style) and a board member for Pet
Helpers, Inc.
Tammy, you and DDB are my heroes: without you small groups like Pet Helpers wouldn't be able to help. About three months ago a family called my dog training business asking for help with an aggressive dog. For this issue I like private lessons in the home, where I can see as much as possible what's going on. Snicker's a big beautiful Newfoundland mix; history had nipped 3 people and one very serious bite to dad. The serious bite to dad was under distress. They came home to find Snicker's tangled up in his chain. The chain was wrapped around Snicker's and a post; he was wrapped up so tight his front legs couldn't reach the ground. Well in the process of trying to free him, dad was bitten; very bad about 50 stitches were needed. When I arrived at the house, I found Snicker's and Scout (Border Collie) chained with a pickup topper/shell for shelter, plenty of food and fresh water. Snickers and Scout both allowed me to approach and pet them. Meeting the family was another thing; Dad, Mom, three kids, grandpa one small house dog (Pixy) and I believe three cats. The family has just moved here from TX, all adjusting to the change.
When
I walked in the house the first thing I heard was "Snickers
is my dog, if he bites you, are you going to make us kill him?"
What a thing for an 8 to 10 yr old boy to worry about! I told him
No, I was here to see if I could help him not hurt him. I've been
working with them every week now, they are all doing great Snickers
and Scout are now in the house with the family, learning good house
manners. Snickers is much calmer now. Thanks to DDB a very nice
fence has been put up for nice outside romps.Without DDB this wouldn't
have turned out this way! Thank you so much!" We Take Phone Orders at 1.877.636.1408 Yes! I want to Sponsor a Fence $200.00 I

Here are some pictures of Tipi, the dog for whom we put up a fence this Labor Day weekend. His was not one of the completely heartbreaking neglect cases we all hear about, but his situation was far from ideal. Mary, Tipi's person, is certainly on a very limited income and appears to have many things she does without, such as running hot water, a sound roof, etc. Tipi is her one companion He is overweight but very high energy - a border collie/heeler mix. He is with her in the house when she is home. I know Tipi doesn't get everything he needs like massive amounts of exercise for his energy level, but I did encourage Mary to consider a companion of comparable energy level for him. I hope that was not wrong. Mary wants me to get her some DDB brochures for her to let people know about us.—Lisa Gerard
