Sixteen year-old female Husky named Peppy has called her 10.5' length by 3.0' width x 3.5' height outdoor metal cage home for nine years.  Her living situation was noticed three year ago.  Offers were made to buy her, walk her, build a fence in the yard and so on.  The owner has yet to take people up on their offer.  Dunkirk animal control and cruelty investigator were contacted regarding Peppy's living conditions, they responded by saying her living conditions were legal.  The entire metal enclosure is off the ground and roughly consists of five feet of metal grate flooring in which Peppy stands on.  The owners states she is a "deer tracking dog" and that he took her out every Saturday to track deer--3 yrs ago.  Her age and arthritis (which she is taking medication for) may be preventing her from doing this anymore.  According to a neighbor Peppy is taken out of the cage only a few times a week.  Continuously walking on a metal grate floor and taking medication for arthritis equals an uncomfortable and excruciating situation for her.  Not to mention the constant exposure to the outdoor elements and lack of socialization.Recently, pictures were taken of her and shared in order to get her help.  The bottom line is to either get media attention for this situation, or a public outcry....this issue is similar in how puppy mill dogs live.  


Kindly contact the following asking for Peppy to be released to a loving rescue or for her conditions to be greatly improved:

We the undersigned respectfully ask you to consider releasing Peppy to a loving rescue or to greatly improve her living conditions.  She is an elder dog with a health problem.  Keeping her outdoors in New York's seasonal elements and forcing her to walk on grated metal flooring in a tiny enclosure is not suitable.

I am sad to report that Peppy has passed away. I spoke to Jeff Lubi the Executive Director at the Chautauqua County Humane Society today. He informed me that Peppy's owner had her put to sleep on January 6, 2009 due to kidney failure.

I am devastated to say the least. PLEASE do not let Peppy's spirit die, her case should be the catalyst to change animal welfare laws in New York State. NOW is the time to put pressure on legislators and politicians.

I don't understand how anyone can put a dog in a cage and leave it there for that lone and the county that the dog is in would not do something about this all I can say is you have no heart or love for an animal

Well..............now that Peppy has passed away that bastardized excuse for a human can't hurt or restrict her anymore. How can he be a "nice man" while knowing he had sweet Peppy locked, isolated, imprisoned. POW's were locked away like that to make them crack, let's put the obnoxious neanderthal throwback in a 3 X 10 and see how he feels....or does he feel anything..the POX on you forever.

It is a shame to make an animal stay in a cage all these years. If you don't love the animal please just care enough to free it and find it a home where it will be loved. The poor dog don't know what it's like to be held and showed some kindness. Please free the dod.

Please ensure she is taken away from her owners - she does not deserve to suffer her last months living in a cage ! I cant believe it takes a petition to a free a dog in this position - it should not be a question to get her out of there ... I am shocked that this has been going on for so long without anyone going in and removing her !

Just what is going on in the world. A poor lady in Hamilton is fighting tooth and nail to keep her beloved dog and here we have a most wonderful noble dog, reduced to a pitiful state AND NO ONE CAN INTERVENE. IN THE UK THE RSPCA WOULD HAVE TAKEN THE DOG AWAY AND TAKEN THE OWNER TO COURT.

Too many animals are abused all over the world, each and every day of the year. Please, help at least one helpless animal get some love and care. Sign this petition and don't let Peppy die alone in that small cage. Instead, let's put Peppys' owner in the cage and let him/her know how Peppy feels.
