Animals that are left outside in freezing temps with only a dog house as protection

The Issue

I witnessed a dog tied up and left outside all day and this evening with temps below zero. The only protection the dog had was a dog house. Upon calling Animal Control and the police department, I was sad to learn nothing could be done because their is a dog house.   A dog house in freezing temps offers little to no protection and animals need to be brought inside when the temperature drops below freezing. Owners need to be responsible and care for their pets if they are going to have the right and privilege to owner them.  

Please sign this petition and help us get the laws changed to protect animals from animal cruelty.  No animal should be left out to freeze to death.  PLEASE SIGN!!
