Neighbors who keep dogs in the garage?

contrary to what others r saying, you should find out the facts, to just assume that it is hot, and they r in there all day and night is jumping to conclusions. My garage is NOT hot, why you ask? Well that would be because I have central air and heating in my garage. Find out the facts, nobody likes a busybody reporting things that aren't even true

I'm sorry but why do people even home a dog if they arn't even going to give it the proper excersize and affection.

It does the human no good when the dog is in the garage all it's damn life, and the only thing that dog is getting is food and water (HOPEFULLY they give them that?).

The animal shelter can't do anything about it if the dog has a shelter, food and water. But I would mention the heat issue, the least you can do is call the shelter and see. You wouldn't be losing anything by doing that. Who knows, that dog may end up going to a better deserved home. :)

People shouldn't be offended that someone wanted a best interest for their animal. Besides, how are YOU supposed to really know if the garage does have AC or not? By calling the shelter you might be able to figure that out if they investigate. Just assuming that they MIGHT have an AC and butt out of it, is not the best thing to do.

Thumbs down?! My ***. I said the perfect advice and the facts. Just because you don't like what I said doesn't make it WRONG. I am right, and only am going by the rules of how a shelter works, and thinking of the animals best interest.

..Say, do you keep a dog; what are your dogie credentials?

Where I live, we do not have great extremes of temperature.

My dogie chooses to spend rest time in the garage .. which is open to a grassy garden. I think the garage is actually his "Study" Though he has proper foam filled mattress, he chooses to lie on the cool concrete floor. .. for good measure he has his own electric fan and eats his dinner in the wind of the fan which keeps the flies from his food. He has his own large door flaps to the garden and the kitchen .. and he has had his coat clipped ... stylish . He is "family" and so an indoor dog..... One thing would worry me .. if you do not have dogie cred in owning your own dog, you may be seen to "interfere" leading to abandonment of the dogs. Need I say, some people are rough diamonds .. on balance, I would report. Likely they are not sufficiently watered, Are not the welfare people there to check the facts and suitability!

That doesn't seem quite right to me either. How can it possibly be getting enough fresh air? Exercise? Socialization? We adopted a dog from the humane society that was rescued from a puppy mill. She was kept in a cage inside a garage. We see the effects. Granted, she was in a cage too, but...maybe you should ask a local shelter/humane society about it.

Keeping a dog in the garage is cruel. I would never do this to my dog. This is outright cruelty. The garage has to be very hot for the poor things. I believe you should report this. They are putting their dogs in danger.

I think the best bet if you re not sure is to contact animal control and let them check it out. Also, some of the animal shelters have investigators who are authorized to remove dogs from unsafe conditions. Otherwise you re just guessing. Another option is to approach the neighbor and express your concerns. If they re idiots, take it to the next level.

We have that same problem with our neighbor. But they keep them in crates.In the garage! It gets super hot in our garage, and I am also starting to wonder if its the same in their garage. I think its cruel.Call the animal police. I feel so bad for the animals.

maybe you should look into things first? Is the garage ventilated? Do they keep the door to the house open and it just chooses to live in a garage? Does it destroy furniture?

yeah that's pretty abusive, unless they have good ventilation/air/fans in the garage. If you legitimately think they are being abused, then definitely contact some kind of animal humanity service and report it.

regrettably, see you later as they have safeguard, and are in a passable actual situation, it is one hundred% criminal to make a dogs stay in a storage. Blankets and love are both elective. Animal administration is actual not waiting to do something see you later because the dogs have safeguard and are *bodily* being cared for (given popular food and water, given a unadorned-minimum of therapy, etc...).
