I purchased 4 puppies from a backyard breeder for $20 each so that they could
receive vet care and make sure they received appropriate homes. Apparently, this

To quote an Animal Law Expert: "Tying a dog p to a tree so it dies of starvation
is plainly cruelty that should be prosecuted."

Often cruelty and neglect goes unreported which only contributes to the problem.
Any abuse, cruelty, neglect or animal fighting should be immediately reported to

This is just another example of why dogs shouldn't be chained up.
People are ignorant.
Thank you to the woman that rescued the puppies.

I can proudly say that I have volunteered with Dogs Off Chains for over a year and many a tear has been shed when a dog finally gets to run free in a LARGE, SAFE fenced yard, built by Dogs Off Chains volunteers, with donations provided by our great Chatham County residents.

I would also encourage "Whatzup" to come to a Fence Build, to see this group of awesome volunteers work together...as friends and family...to make the life of a dog happier, easier and safer.

My friend is a home health nurse. She recently rescued 4 puppies from an
abandoned house, next door to a patient she was visiting. The mother dog was
tied and tangled up tight to a tree, dead. Puppies were starving and crying.
Tragic. But now you know the rest of the story. Puppies are fat and healthy,

I agree with the supporters of The Goathouse Refuge. It's easy to nitpick
people who try to save unwanted animals. You don't get to pick how many and
when these unwanted animals come into your life. You do the best you can and

of excess animals, but it does nothing to solve the current problem of already
existing animals. None of my cats over the years has ever been allowed to

My parent's gray and white neutered male cat slipped out of their car at the Pittsboro Post Office last week. We'd appreciate your help finding him. They miss him a lot! He is approximately one year old. It is possible he is heading toward his home in Log Barn Acres. If you have seen him please call (919) 612-7946. Many thanks.

Charlie has been missing for two weeks now but we are still hoping to find him. He is a one year-old gray & white neutered male who escaped from my father's vehicle at the Pittsboro Post Office. It is possible he is working his way toward Log Barn Road. My mother and her dog Blossom miss Charlie very much.
