Dogs Deserve Better is a national nonprofit organization dedicated to freeing the chained dog, and bringing our 'best friend' into the home and family. For the latest news articles covering chained dogs and Dogs Deserve Better check out our website at www.dogsdeservebetter.org.
This site is for the local happenings of the Oregon reps for Dogs Deserve Better.
We are a chained dog and penned dog education, legislation, and rescue 501c3 nonprofit group. We are based in PA, but now have reps all over the country. We are working to change laws and educate society that it's not OK to chain or pen your dog. Dogs long to be part of the family, they are not lawn ornaments, they are living beings deserving of love and respect. Please consider adopting a chained dog today.
Please take a Moment to sign this National No Chains Petition. It's Crucial!
