Stop leaving pets caged outside in winter temperatures and weather.

The Issue

In Connecticut there are hundreds of backyard dogs living 24/7 in kennels suffering from frigid temperatures and inadequate shelters. These dogs live sad, neglectful, and solitary lives with little to no companionship or basic comforts such as heat and soft bedding. In Connecticut, and many other States, this neglectful treatment is LEGAL leaving the authorities completely helpless.

Please sign this petition and help me build a case to bring to our legislators. Help strengthen CT's laws on animal cruelty and neglect. Let's start holding bad owners responsible for such heartless acts. Help get these neglected dogs inside with families who can truly appreciate their value as a family member.

Help me stop this treatment! Help them live!
