My Neighbor Abuses Their Dog

Dear Suze Q. I’m afraid of my neighbors rage, but I need to do something. Her dog is usually outside on a rope with the only shelter a concrete slab under a tree, and dry water and food bowls.  The Humane Society came once with no change.

Dear Neighbor, Report “suspicion” of abuse, anonymously, or better yet give your information to help investigators be thorough. Take pictures, videos with times and date of abuse. Multiple reports to the animal control agency is the key for investigators to document a paper trail. Get others to join in your quest to save this dog’s life, but do not put yourself in danger by confronting the neighbor directly. -SQ
