Chain-Off 2008.

In 2003, one woman started something wonderful. She chained herself to a doghouse for 33 hours to raise awareness of the misery of chained and penned dogs. In 2007, it had grown to 108 people in 36 states and Canada chaining themselves to doghouses.

The organization, Dogs Deserve Better, is the sponsor of this. This organization is solely devoted to helping get chained and penned dogs back into the house and educating the public on the dangers of chained and penned dogs. The week of June 27th till July 7th, they (DDB) hope to have over 200 people chain themselves to a dog house to bring the plight of chained and penned dogs to the public.
