From the Founder

I am so moved by the ring of freedom.

By the sight of a dog
romping with his best friend.

By the sounds of "Woo Woo"
when I return home.

All dogs deserve this freedom!

My vision is that we give this to them.
One at a time if need be...

 

And together. Please help the dogs today, in any way that you can and with all that you are.

I started this organization August 15, 2002. We've grown tremendously since that day! We've sent letters and made contact all across the country. We have people standing with us. And we will continue to grow, in strength as well as in numbers. In the coming years we have much work ahead of us. I will be there. Please join me in making this world a better place for our companions, our best friends.

I'm often asked, surely your platform is much broader than chained dogs? What about all the other animal atrocities? What about spay and neuter? And my answer is, of course we support ALL animal efforts. Spay/neuter support and stopping other forms of animal abuse are absolutely critical. However, our focus must remain on the chained (and penned) dogs.

Because they are the forgotten cause. Their abuse is much more subtle, no less insidious. They may not be in immediate danger of death. But death of the soul is still death to me. And they are dying out there, piece by piece, hour by hour.

Sometimes the fear that we cannot help them is overwhelming. Stop, take a deep breath, and promise you will take one more step. That's all I ask, and we will all do the best we can for them just for today. And just for today. And soon all our todays will add up to one great big tomorrow, and we can look back and feel the pride of a journey well-taken.

And they can look back and see no more chains.

And that will be the happiest day of my eternal existence.

—Tammy Sneath Grimes
