Clifford’s Army Rescue will be launching a new program in an effort to break loose the chains that bind so many dogs in our county. Attached to a chain is no life for a dog. Dos are very social animals and want to be with their people. Not only is it no life for them, it has been proven that life on a chain brings out aggression in dogs. Please be sure to read the information under references at the end of this post.
A kennel program is in the works which will provide a kennel in place of the chain. While we are firm believers that dogs are very much social animals and should be a part of the family, in the house with you, we also know several people in our county do not keep their dogs in the home with them on a regular basis. We would much rather help them keep the dogs safe and secure with a kennel than have them attached to a chain and suffer the damage that comes along with that attachment.
There will be some requirements for the kennel. The main one being the dog will have to be spay/neutered. If not, and you need help, we will try to assist and/or find assistance for you.
As firm believers in pet retention, we will also be starting a food bank shortly. We are working on requirements and/or ways to distribute food for those in need.
We are fine tuning the details on both programs and hope to launch them both soon. Be sure to stay tuned for more details on both these exciting new programs.
(Want to help? Volunteer to help pick up/ put up kennels. Volunteer with fundraisers. Know of anyone with kennels they are no longer using? Ask them to donate to C.A.R.E. We will be collecting both new and used to help those in need. )
