I know that this shelter is better than what they have now, but I do not think dogs should ever be chained to a doghouse. I support anti-tethering laws instead.*

But the reality is that some people should never own a dog. It just breaks my heart to see dogs chained outside like that. Having this shelter could make it seem OK to leave dogs out 24/7 when it is not acceptable.

*For more information: http://www.unchainpadogs.com This law was recently defeated in the PA legislature as part of a larger anti-animal cruelty law that was opposed by the NRA.
