Rescue of Chained K-9s (ROCK)

Dogs are pack animals. In the absence of other dogs, humans become their pack.

A chained dog feels rejected and doesn't understand why.

Imagine being chained to a tree year after year. You watch the door hoping someone will come play. No one ever does. You long to run, but you can only pace. You shiver in winter and pant in summer. Eventually, you stop barking. You have given up hope.

It is up to caring people like you to improve the lives of chained dogs. Some think, "It's none of my business." But it is the busi-ness of compassionate people to speak up when living crea-tures are treated like objects. You will feel good about yourself for helping a chained dog!
