I just saw this on my home page. People when someone moves out of a home on your street or near you please listen for pets or pay attention to the windows and see if you see animals in the window or hearing barking,whining, scratching. Please just keep an eye out the next time someone moves out esp. if you know they had animals. No animal should be left to fend for themselves.
I don't understand why our laws don't include prosecution for the mis treatment of animals. Or let me rephrase that, they don't enforce the laws in place. It makes me so angry, pets are not property to be disposed of! I have one dog, that I fear if anything happened to me, it's not that my family wouldn't keep the dog and care for it, but never care for her the way I do. (She needs supervision all the time)... I would love to kick those people in the pants! I will pass on the information as well.
Our neighbors had moved and a week later we saw a cat sitting in the front picture window. We watched for cars coming or going, and, thankfully, a youngish couple zoomed into the drive a day or so later. Turned out, they had just bought the place and were sleeping there before all the furniture arrived. *Whew* We were ready to call the police and the local cat shelter.
What bothered me years ago was when I visited an elderly couple who were in the Bible class I taught. They wanted me to come over for lunch and to meet their daughter. While we sat at the table and looked out onto their lush back yard, I noticed next door a huge shade tree. Tied to a swiveling pole with a long chain was a beautiful furry white dog who spent the day running round and round in a huge circle. There was only dirt where the dog had run. The elderly couple said that no one was ever out there with the dog or walked it but just brought it food and water. Apparently, the dog was just a backyard ornament.

I have a neighbor like this. They tie their sweet dog outside all day long. He looks so sad when I take my dog out to play with her.. I want so bad to bring their dog into my fenced yard and let him play with my girl. I have asked them on 2 separate occasions if this would be okay, since the dogs are always nose to nose through the fence anyway. They kind of brush it off and tell me maybe "one of these days" we could do that. He is never taken on walks or even had a ball thrown for him to play, as far as I've noticed. I have given their dog water, food and treats when it looks like nothing has been left out for him. I would really like to go over and sneak him over, when they are not home, but I don't want to be charged with stealing their dog or something either. They also just got a kitten who stays inside. The woman is also pregnant, so I'm thinking the poor dog will get less attn once the baby comes too. If this continues with them leaving their dog outside tied all day long, I am going to call the SPCA to see if there is something I can do. I might even be willing to adopt him from them if they don't find it's necessary to give their dog much needed attention.
starbuck8 just approach them and see if they will let you have it, just tell her you realize she is pregannat and maybe it will be to much for her taking care of a dog as well. You never know, lazy people are always looking for an out.
