Hi just joined looking for advice on how you would go about this. I have a neighbour who keeps 4 dogs for racing, or so he says! I cant see how as they are locked in sheds for at least 20 hours a day and then only have about 10 foot square when they are out of their prison so how do you race an unhealthy dog?

Also i have attached photographs of the sheds they are kept in and just wondered if you are all as appalled as me? Do you think these conditions are humane??

Do you have any ideas how we can help these dogs??

cheers

ooo dear god what sort of condition are the dogs in

 

[helpus]

well, we don't see a lot of them but they cry and howl together throughout the day and night and sound distressed. The owner then comes out and hits them or frightens them to shut them up (it only works for about five minutes though).One of them jumps up at the shed window and it just looks so sad....the others when they first came were lively and cheeky and now seem to have no spirit left....they are obviously dirty as they are living in their own mess. It is distressing for us to see and hear...we are dog owners ourselves....

poor little mites, i would get onto the rspca straight away .somone should lock him in that bloody shed for 20hrs a day see how he likes it :rant: :rant:

 

[joeorcheston]

u want 2 go round there and have words with him!

u can see he only goes there once a day!

if he dont do nothing about it report him especally if hes racing on the ngrc tracks.

could you send those photos to the RSPCA or someone, all the things you are required by law to provide for a dog are obviously lacking there :luck: :luck:

 

[gutsey]

hello gutsey welcome to k9 ,i wouldnt even warn him id just call rspca and anybody else that can do sumthing for the dogs .some people you just cant approach and if ther your neighbours then ther may be reprocutions that just my opinion and the way i would do it .even with the shed clean and fresh water down i still think its apalling to keep dogs locked in a shed for 20 hrs a day .

Goes there once a day.......he lives there!!! That is his back yard....Yes, noticed aswell about the water etc but feel like fighting a losing battle. We have tried to have a word but can't reason with stupidity!! We think the track he uses has a sub forum on here...Tried RSPCA and the local council...nobody has done anything??

cheers

Yes the kennel area does look absolutly horrendous...

Here's me possibly about to get shot but here goes...

Why have you posted this on here and in general dog discussion??

And you seem to know alot about the owners...yes I know you said you live next door.

And the fact you say they race at somewhere that has a sub forum on K9 means trouble could be caused.

Fair question, no not going to shoot you.....as you can probably tell by the fact we have gone to the trouble to find these forums we are genuinely concerned about these dogs....posted in general discussion before i noticed the greyhound site hence it being in two places.

Don't know a lot about the owner, used to talk to him but genuinely cannot do anymore due to this....not trying to cause trouble just wondering if it's just us who think this is unacceptable and if not then if anyone has any ideas to help.....

 

[hellybobs]

Fair point.

Firstly take the photo's to the RSPCA and report them for cruelty.

Keep a diary of any events or just general day to day stuff...even if its the same day after day.

Contact the police and local dog warden and see what help they can offer.

If this is genuine then all of the named authorities will help these dogs to safety.

P.s we only came across this site by doing a search on the track where he mentioned he races....it's in the North West. will not name and shame yet as we are trying to get enough evedence to get him done and hopefully banned from keeping dogs

[hellybobs]
