Saving The Chain Dogs

01/05/2020

I wanted to Thank All of the Supporters of Saving The Chain Dogs
And PAWS, Inc.
🐾🙏🏼💕🐾🙏🏼💕🎉🎉❤️❤️
2019 because of you all I was able to take Saving The Chain Dogs and Paws to another level.

We were able to finally start building the Fences that I’ve wanted to build for the last 3 yrs.

It takes a lot of donations and organizing to build a fence on someone’s property for a dog.

Many times I have to go back over and over until I can talk the owners into allowing the help.

Only a hand full of you can actually say you’ve seen what I go thru and how I have to talk to these dog owners.

The kindness and love I have to pour out to people that I really don’t want to like or love in anyway because I feel they are not good dog parents.

My heart has to harden so many times to get thru the pain and tears I see these dogs going thru.

I have to look thru the sorrow so that I can get these dogs off these dreadful chains.

Sometimes it takes me days to make these post because the heartbreak always returns to my mind and heart which makes it difficult to get the words out.

I always thought I was a strong person but in Sept of 2019 I was hit hard with reality, the build up of heartbreak, stress and worry for the dogs suffering in my own County that I can’t always get to and help or that takes so much out of me dealing with the owners that get offended by a simple offer of a free dog house.

The build up of several years of seeing so much abuse and neglect landed me in a Emergency room for the first time ever thinking I was about to die of heart ache. 💔

My sadness is not what I want to express to you today 😩😭💕

I want to Thank you 🙏🏼 from my heart to all the dogs and puppies that you all have helped me save in 2019.

From taking off chains, building fences, rescuing dumplings (puppies) moms with litters, pregnant moms, to poor strays dumped in my driveways, tied to guard rails on my road. Spaying and Neutering Dogs all over The State of SC

I want to express my deepest Thank you and appreciation to you all that donated Funds, Time, Love, Fostering, so that I could Save these Dogs and some Cats.

2020 Has already started off with a chain dog getting a fence and puppies went on transport to new homes in The North. 🎉🐾💕🙏🏼
Unfortunately we also lost one of our Hospice Foster rescues that we took off a chain in 2019 and ran over the Rainbow bridge just 1 day into 2020💔💔

Thank you 🙏🏼 All 🐾💕🙏🏼 For your Support 🙌🏽🙌🏽🐾💕

Many have ask about the white husky that was hit by a car on i20 at exit 29 Wire rd Aiken on the early morning of Friday May 31st.

Veinte is still in the county shelters vet office healing. He will hopefully feel good enough to leave on Monday.

I’ll be picking him up as soon as he’s ready.

We need you today please 🐾💕🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

We are going to build a fence for these 2 Huskies.

We’ve been working on this case for over 10 weeks.
Animal control has also been out many times.

Unfortunately South Carolina has no laws to prevent Tethering.

So in order for these 2 dogs to come off these cables we must provide Fence.

We already gave them dog houses, new bowls and water buckets.

Now we need to remove the Tethering by building a fenced yard.

The items we need in the picture is at Tractor Supply.

We need 2 rolls of 100 ft 6ft
Fence, about 50 of the green poles.
A few rolls of the chicken wire.

We would also like to have a couple volunteers to go out and brush the 2 dogs or possibly wash them too. Location Aiken SC (pm me to set up a wash and groom crew) FREE one time only.

With out you and donations we can not build this fence or save these dogs from suffering by way of Tethering.

Saving The Chain Dogs was able to get help from AC to get this boy out yesterday and safe.
He was already chipped and neutered.
Turns out he was adopted at one of our local shelters about 2 yrs ago.
He was then given away and there after left behind chained like this.

He’s safe and will get updated vetting thru the shelter and then find a better Furever home.

We pulled off a huge save here, animal control helped so much.

4 Dogs taken from a home in Aiken after neighbors and members of Saving the Chains Dog found dogs chained in the yard as well as puppies that were no longer alive. The same owner also dumped two puppies that were found by officers. Aiken County Animal Control says she will be facing charges. We’ll have more tonight at 5 and 6.

Saving The Chain Dogs
Could use some dog food and cat food.

We’ve had to help out many lately that are down on their luck.

If we can help with food then owners can keep their pets and we do not have to fill rescues and shelters.
((Any brands of dog and cat food welcome 🙏🏻 ))

These are dogs and cats that have good homes but need that extra help.

One of us can meet to pick up from you if local to Aiken or you can ship from your favorite place like chewy or petco.
We can even pick up from Walmart pickup.

You can drop off local to Aiken or North Aug area. Message for that info.

We wanted to Remind everyone that We are a chain Dog Program created for Aiken County Aiken City in Aiken SC.
We do not work outside of Aiken.

We normally do not take dogs, puppies or cats. The only way we can take in animals that are surrendered by the chain dog owners is IF we have Foster and a Rescue step up and Waiting.

Our Program works with residents that have dogs Tethered illegal in Aiken.
We do not normally work outside of Aiken and we do not go out of State.

It is against the law in Aiken to tether a dog by chain or improper.
We have about 3000 dogs in Aiken Tethered improper!!

Our program consults with Aikens Animal Control on most situations so that our program works with the Aiken community legally.
90% of the situations that we work are either followed up by Aiken’s Animal control or AC has been out before we arrive.

We work in a kind manner providing free education, free proper Tethering items, kennels, fencing, houses, Free spay neuter and food for Aiken dogs that are chained or illegally Tethered.

If any resident with illegal Tethered dogs in Aiken do not wish to work with our program then we turn the address along with a break down of the situation over to Aiken’s Animal Control.
We do not rush out to dog cases that are dumped, need Rescue or stray and show up at homes.
We are always happy to share and help find Rescue.

We are a SC State registered charity under a 501c3 HFS.
All donations are 100% tax deductible.

We can not provide our services, free items, vetting, food or travel to these address with out funds.
We run 100% off donations.

The last situation we worked had 14 dogs and puppies in the mobile home park.
We are now spaying and neutering 9 of them this week. We also found foster and Rescues for the 6 pups that were surrendered.

We have a case we have started working on that consist of 30 dogs removed from chains and about 15 cats.
These animals are all being fostered at a Officers farm awaiting vetting and rescue.
We will be focusing on this situation for the next couple months.
We are still taking in new addresses every week for Chained situations around Aiken.
Our volunteered staff will continue to address these dogs and help as we can.

Always report if in Aiken SC
We also assist with Dog fighting cases as we now are working with national investigators that we are able to report to.

Saving The Chain Dogs appreciates you’re Support, we can not continue with out You 🙏🏼
