It’s Giving Tuesday! Click the link to learn more.

Several of our San Felipe Dog Rescue volunteers were out walking shelter dogs when they saw something staggering in the distance. A senior small chihuahua dog… barely moving… weaving across the desert road.

This is happening in our own backyard!!!!

🐕 Effects of Chaining on Dogs
Dogs are social pack animals, and chaining isolates them from interaction. Over time, this feels like solitary confinement, leading to anxiety, depression, and aggression. Even friendly dogs can become neurotic or hostile. Chained dogs are also vulnerable to abuse, biting insects, and extreme weather.

Risks to Humans & Other Animals
Because chained dogs lack socialization and cannot flee, they often react aggressively when approached. Children and other animals are at particular risk, sometimes with tragic outcomes.

Humane Alternatives
If indoors isn’t possible, a secure fenced yard with a proper doghouse offers mobility and protection. Still, dogs need daily love, attention, and supervision—simply moving them from a chain to a fence is not enough.

¡Esto está pasando en nuestro propio patio!
🐕 Efectos de Encadenar a los Perros Los perros son animales de manada, y encadenarlos los aísla de la interacción. Con el tiempo, esto se siente como confinamiento solitario, causando ansiedad, depresión y agresión. Incluso los perros más amigables pueden volverse neuróticos o hostiles. Los perros encadenados también son vulnerables al abuso, a los insectos que muerden y al clima extremo.

⚠️ Riesgos para Humanos y Otros Animales
Como los perros encadenados carecen de socialización y no pueden huir, a menudo reaccionan con agresividad cuando alguien se acerca. Los niños y otros animales corren un riesgo particular, a veces con consecuencias trágicas.

✅ Alternativas Humanas
Si vivir dentro de casa no es posible, un patio cercado con una caseta adecuada ofrece movilidad y protección. Aun así, los perros necesitan amor, atención y supervisión diaria: simplemente moverlos de una cadena a un cercado no es suficiente.

Meet Cristal. This little terrier mix was found today on the 5. She is covered in ticks and tested positive for tick fever. Cristal is currently at SFDR where the staff is removing the ticks and treating her illnesses. Just look at that sweet face, you can tell she just doesn't feel well. We will post updates as we have more news. If you would like to help Cristal or any of our other dogs here at San Felipe Dog Rescue, please go to sanfelipedogrescue.org and click the donate tab. Thank you to all of our donors.
