Imagine being outside tonight.
Not for minutes.
For days.
For weeks.
For YEARS.
The wind cuts through your fur like knives.
The chain on your neck — the same chain you’ve worn every single day of your life — feels like a strip of ice pressed into your skin. Your water bowl is frozen. Your food bowl is empty. Your body shakes uncontrollably, but there is nowhere warm to crawl.
So you curl up on the frozen ground, the only “bed” you’ve ever known.
You tuck your paws beneath you because they hurt too badly to leave exposed to the cold.
You press your nose into your chest to try to hold on to the last bit of heat you have left.
Your stomach gnaws.
Your body trembles.
And you wonder, like you do every night:
“Is this the night I don’t wake up?”
You don’t bark.
No one listens.
You don’t cry.
No one comes.
You just exist… alone, forgotten, freezing, starving — waiting for mercy.
⸻
And then one day…
A car pulls up.
You lift your head, not sure if you’re dreaming.
Strangers step out — but they aren’t like the others.
They kneel. They talk softly. They bring warmth with them that you can feel.
Then comes something you’ve never experienced before:
Hope.
A doorway is opened.
Fresh food is poured into a bowl so full it shocks you.
Warm straw is laid down — not just a handful — enough that you can finally curl up and not feel the bite of the ground through your bones.
A dog house, real shelter, rises in front of you like a miracle you never knew existed.
And for the first time in your entire life…
You feel warm.
You feel fed.
You feel seen.
This is what the outreach team from Unleashed Pet Rescue and Adoption does.
Every. Single. Day.
In the worst parts of town, in the freezing cold, they are saving lives that no one else even knows exist.
⸻
This Giving Tuesday, we’re asking you for help.
We are out there delivering:
• Straw
• Dog houses
• Vetting
• Spay/neuter surgeries to help prevent more chain bound babies
• Food
• Warmth
• Hope
• And sometimes… a second chance at life
The need is overwhelming.
The cold is deadly.
And the dogs waiting out there on chains have no one but us.
Your Giving Tuesday donation means a dog who is freezing right now gets to survive another night.
It means a little more time.
A little more warmth.
A little more life.
👉 Please donate today.
👉 Be the warmth they’ve never had.
👉 Be the miracle they’ve been waiting for.
Because no dog should die alone on a chain.
Not tonight.
Not ever.
