It was a small price to pay to only be chained for 24 hours when some dogs live their entire lives chained by themselves.

Hats off to you Cory, and everyone else that did this for the dogs that are chained all of their lives! One of my rescue Chows was a chained dog. He was on a chain attached to a garage with a small hole cut on side of garage for him to get shelter. With the chain, he barely had room to get inside. But, those days are over and he's now my little, well big :) shadow and spoiled and never alone and forgotten.

Way to go Cory! Joy, I know what you mean. My Fur kids are spoiled too! They sleep on my bed and Nestle gets an egg on toast BEFORE breakfast! LOL!

I hope just one person gets it that dogs aren't born with chains attached and they shouldn't end up that way either. I just adopted a little pound pup and I have to brag that he is "perfect" I cannot imagine why he was a stray!!!! Someone gave me a chain link dog kennel many years ago and I finally took it down because never once have I put a dog in it. I wouldn't want to live there so why would I want my loves to live there either?
