Help for the outside dog

For some dogs, every night is cold and lonely. While many dogs are fortunate enough to live as family members inside the home, many more are not. Often times, man's best friend is chained outside for life. dogs that are kept apart from their family are more likely to become unhappy, anxious and aggressive. National statistics from the Humane Society of the United States tell us a chained, unaltered dog is most likely to bite as its frustration of being trapped in a lonely environment continues to grow.

Give them shelter

When Habitat for Hounds volunteers deliver doghouses to needy animals, we talk with pet owners about the importance of spaying and neutering their animals, the benefits of having a healthy and active companion, and the joy of bringing their pets inside to be a healthy part of the family.

Habitat for Hounds, in affiliation with the Shamrock Pet Foundation, is an all-volunteer group that helps dogs who live outside and have inadequate shelter or none at all. We collect new and used doghouses in good condition and deliver them to animals in need. We invite you to make a tax-deductible donation or donate a doghouse to Habitat for Hounds. Your gift is a needy dog's best chance at having shelter from the elements.

If you know of a dog who desperately needs shelter or if you would like to donate a doghouse, call us at 585-3220 and leave a message for Habitat for Hounds. Or, download and mail your tax-deductible donation here.

Leading the efforts on behalf of Habitat for Hounds, is long-time, animal-welfare volunteer, Lynda Akridge (above photo). She collects and delivers new or freshly-scrubbed, used doghouses to animals who need them throughout Kentucky and Indiana. Without Habitat for Hounds, many animals would have inadequate housing or none at all.
