Laws Regarding Dog Neglect

We have a new neighbor <_<

She has a cute little husky puppy. She leaves it outside all day long in a fenced yard while she is at work and trust me its cold up here in Michigan. He whines all day, it breaks my heart. They do have an overhang where he is at on pavement no blanket or anything for him with a very short chain. I peeked around the fence and noticed she had no food or water outside either :angry: Im not sure of abuse laws and how to go about it. Are they anonymous? We always had inside dogs and my samoyed would get cold outside while peeing so this is breaking my heart.

That is definetly neglect. Just call your local animal shelter and tell them. It will be anonymous. If you can't find a local animal shelter, call your police department (not 911, though unless the puppy is in really bad shape) and they can tell you who to call. That is so sad when someone gets an animal that they can't or won't take care of.

Thanks, She is off for the weekend now so I will report it next monday to the humane society. She is a barely new neighbor (two weeks) and already having problems with her. She is also pitching dog crap in our yard which irks my husband badly because she doesnt want it in her yard and we dont have any animals. I think its why she leaves him on a leash so its in a certain area. She seemed nice when we met her but now I realize she is just trash :angry:

I'm sorry you aren't in NY! lol We have the BEST laws on animals!!! Call the ASPCA, sometimes it takes a few calls but yes, something should be done. Animals are people too!

Also, my bf's neighbor did the same thing to their dogs and after the neighbor would go to sleep we would throw cold cut meats at it and i swear we kept that dog alive! not that i'm dropping hints or anything! ;)

oh and yes, totally anonymous!

Please keep us posted!

I would try to get a picture of her doing it and then throw it back. You definately need to do something if you can.

Isn't that against some kind of law, too? I'd start documenting all this stuff now - sounds like you might need it in the future. Might not be a bad idea to mention this to the police. Maybe they can stop by your neighbour's for a chat sometime about all this :)

Thanks Everyone

Well things have changed thankfully. She called over here Monday night and said her 19 year old nephew pitched her dog's poop over her fence (very likely it could have been since we just saw the after effects) and she apologized and offered to clean it up but my husband took care of it, actually pitched on her side that day he noticed it.

We also found out on Monday her nephew had been leaving her dog out as her other neighbor had complained about the dog barking all day while she was at work. I had no clue anyone was there during the day with no car in the driveway and the dog tied up all day. Her nephew had stayed with her for a few weeks but he is leaving on friday.

I have a Husky/blue heeler cross, she is now about 14 years old.... granted its not the same age as the puppy next door but.... I wouldn't automatically feel bad they were outside in the cold, I have to force mine inside when its really cold out, she gets to warm in the house as her coat is really thinck and warm. the no food water issue would be a concern as for the whining depending on how old the puppy is it "could" be lonesome... My youngest dog (I have 3 total) is 11 months and is an american eskimo and for the first few months we had her she would whine anytime she was left alone because she was lonely... if we left her outside with the other dogs she was fine... she loves to come into the house but again as her coat gets so thick this time of year she also loves to be outside, just comes in to pick on the cats and get a toy to take outside and loose in the snow..... I do however have a place out of the worst of the cold and wind for them to be when I am not home and cant get them to stay in the house... Now summertime is a whole different story as we have A/C and they all dearly love to be inside in summer... my guess is wearing a fur coat in 100 degree weather isnt for mild mannered puppies, lol

Animal neglect is:

Statute Summary: A person commits the crime of cruelty to animals if the person:

Fails to provide food, care, shelter

Abandons animal

Transports or confines animal in cruel manner

Injures an animal

Seriously overworks an animal

Intentionally or knowingly tortures an animal

Overworks an animal

A puppy left alone outside could be lonely, hungry, insecure ...cold...hot..whatever

Dogs especially if they do not have a companion, will develop issues - barking, digging, escaping, licking themselves raw, tail chasing, separation anxiety...to name few.

Many dogs once aclimated to weather spend all day outside...we have many cattle dogs and sheep dogs in our neck of the woods who get anxious when INSIDE and want out, even at 30 below...BUT they have shelter from the elements, have built a fur coat adapted to the time of year, food and water. Sheepdogs will sleep with the flock in a sheltered area. Many cattle dogs snuggle into a warm barn and straw bales around them. The key is shelter/food /water. My own dog LOVES the snow and begs to go outside - but she also emerges from her insulated doghouse toasty warm, the kids even comment on how warm she is...and she sleeps inside at night ,and if it is cold and windy, we keep her inside other than walks....

Puppies need companionship - be it human or animal. Think of how kids are vs adults....they crave playtime and interaction...adults not so much.

Glad the self centered nephew is outs there!!

Sandy

      Thank you for the clarification and for taking the time to explain the terminology so clearly. I really appreciate your insight, especially the distinction between celiac disease and NCGS and how anemia can point more toward celiac. This was very helpful for me.

      Son's legs shaking

      Hi, My 7 year daughter has complained of this in the past, which I thought were part of her glutening symptom, but more recently I have come to figure out it's part of her histamine overload symptom. This one symptom was part of her broader profile, which included irritability, extreme hunger, confusion, post-nasal drip. You might want to look up "histamine...

      Son's legs shaking

      My 5yo was diagnosed with celiac last year by being tested after his sister was diagnosed. We are very strict on the gluten-free diet, but unsure what his reactions are as he was diagnosed without many symptoms other than low ferritin. He had a school party where his teacher made gluten-free gingerbread men. I almost said no because she made it in her...

      Not necessarily. The "Gluten Free" label means not more than 20ppm of gluten in the product which is often not enough for super sensitive celiacs. You would need to be looking for "Certified Gluten Free" (GFCO endorsed) which means no more than 10ppm of gluten. Having said that, "Gluten Free" doesn't mean that there will necessarily be more gluten than "Certified...

      Disaccharide deficient, confusing biopsy results, no blood test

      I think it is wise to seek a second opinion from a GI doc and to go on a gluten free diet in the meantime. The GI doc may look at all the evidence, including the biopsy report, and conclude you don't need anything else to reach a dx of celiac disease and so, there would be no need for a gluten challenge. But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you...

This one symptom was part of her broader profile, which included irritability, extreme hunger, confusion, post-nasal drip. You might want to look up "histamine intolerance". I wish I had known of this at the time of her diagnosis, life would have been much easier.  I hope you are able to figure out.

We are very strict on the gluten-free diet, but unsure what his reactions are as he was diagnosed without many symptoms other than low ferritin.  He had a school party where his teacher made gluten-free gingerbread men. I almost said no because she made it in her kitchen but I thought it would be ok.  Next day and for a few after his behavior is awful. Hitting, rude, disrespectful. Mainly he kept saying his legs were shaking. Is this a gluten exposure symptom that anyone else gets? Also the bad behavior?

The GI doc may look at all the evidence, including the biopsy report, and conclude you don't need anything else to reach a dx of celiac disease and so, there would be no need for a gluten challenge. But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you can worry about the gluten challenge at that time. But between now and the time of the appointment, if your symptoms improve on a gluten free diet, that is more evidence. Just keep in mind that if a gluten challenge is called for, the bare minimum challenge length is two weeks of the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten, which is about the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread. But, I would count on giving it four weeks to be sure.
