Why Do People Leave Their Dogs Outside ALL THE TIME
Pets are family, and every pet deserves to be safe, warm, and loved. As a pet sitter in Union County, it’s evident how difficult it can be for some owners to provide adequate care, especially during extreme weather. It’s disheartening to see dogs left outside in the rain and mud, without the warmth and human connection they need.
Love and Kisses Pet Sitting offers more than a service, it advocates for your pet’s well-being. Scheduled walks and check-ins ensure dogs receive the human interaction, love, and mental stimulation they need every day, regardless of the weather.
Let’s create a community where every pet feels safe. What are your tips for keeping pets happy and healthy year-round?

As an avid rescuer and also a fellow pet sitter, I see this a lot! I see it as a teaching opportunity. While we tread a fine line, I also feel it is important to make sure owners are aware of the implications of leaving a dog outside. Someone could steel the dog, the dog can become ill, aggressive, etc. If the dogs look like they are not being cared for properly, contact Dogs Deserve Better. They deal with chained dogs. I don’t know what the laws are in your state, but it might be worth checking into.
people leave dogs outside because they don’t care, in NC this is how they treat animals…..I truly believe they get off by being mean to animals…..there are no laws to protect any animal in NC. It’s a sorry ass state. I have contacted everyone I could to help dogs that are outside with no food, water and chained……all I get is “if you don’t mind your own business….we will burn your house down or kill your dog” That’s the culture here.
This past summer my neighbor had a dog removed from his property due to no license and shots not to mention the conditions (her collar was so tight it was embedded in her neck) the poor thing went through. So now he has a new puppy……outside, in the snow, chained, no fence, and it gets lose all the time. So now the puppy can get hit by a car!! When will it end or do I have to move!? I think it is so cruel the way some people treat all animals. SO SAD!!!~
I firmly believe that owning a dog to place in your backyard to live out it’s entire life with next to no human interaction should be illegal. I don’t care if they have one or ten dogs. Domesticated dogs were bred to be mans best friend. Dogs crave human interaction! And the argument that their animals and prefer the outdoors, well sure the wide open country to roam! Not a enclosed yard for their 9-14 year of life. Makes me sick and it needs to stop!
Thank you for caring and wanting to take action. I support you 110% percent on what you’re advocating. I also don’t understand why people have a dog when they don’t have time to commit to it. Why have a dog if you are not going to spend quality time with it, socialise it,, play with it or love it. Why???? I believe there should be stronger laws out there to protect our domesticated animal friends. Not just laws but immediate action can be taken. I wish I could steal all these dogs and rehome them – they deserve so much more.
Dogs are like human beings. They need attention, affection and most of all, they need love. Why would you even get a dog if you’re going to leave it outside all the time? How can anyone live with themselves if they leave their dog out all the time? Why even get one?
I have a new neighbor who has two big dogs and they’re out all the time 24/7. And they bark all the time. When I take my dog out to go potty, they bark and try to come through our fence. One day, they got through it and was running around in our back yard. this has to stop. I don’t want to make enemies with them, however, my dog has to go out sometimes and I’m not going to live like this!! I feel so bad for those dogs!!!
