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.

Let's put the owner in a cage like that for a week. You try walking on metal bars with athritis. This is not right and this dog deserves to have a good life for whatever time is left.

Please, get this beautiful animal away from the person(s) who are doing this. At least let her live her senior years in an environment of love, freedom, and proper veterinary care. She deserves that and a whole lot more.

I think that this is an outrage. The person who does this should be put in a cage for nine years and left there.

Please free Peppy!

As a dog lover, I find this despicable. Lack of freedom of movement, comfortable conditions to relax and sleep, and socialization are not acceptable. It is particularly sad to see a senior dog in these conditions. Also, it also appears the dog is not receiving proper veterinary care. I know winters are cold in upstate New York. I would like to see the owner caged in these conditions for 24 hours. Maybe then they would see the light.
# 3,756:
Please let Peppy go to a loving family who will let her roam around the house or garden!
# 3,755:
It breaks my heart to think of her being caged for so long. Please let her live out the rest of her life in freedom from the cage, preferably in home with a nice warm bed and a loving family.
# 3,754:
This is inhumane! What is the point of keeping a dog in a cage? They are pack animals. If you don't want to provide her with a healthy environment, than let others who have offered. She deserves so much better. Put yourself in her poor arthritic body and think about how it must feel to be out in the elements and to have to sleep/stand on skinny metal bars. Unbelievable! Someone needs to release and rescue her!!!

I sat brushing my dog the other day-just her and me sitting on the floor. With each stroke of my hand, she grew more and more relaxed and I thought about how much I love her. The peaceful expression on her face let me know how much she loves me too. She is thankful for the day my husband and I decided to walk into our local SPCA and adopt her. She is no longer someone's "pet", but part of a family. I honestly believe that. Thoughts of anything harming her causes my heart to ache. Then I thought of Pepie and how nice it would be to have her next to me so I could brush her and love her the way she deserves to be loved. My heart aches for her too. Someone with a kind heart-someone with compassion needs to disregard the politics of everything going on here and let that dog have a home that wants to treat her like part of a family.
