CHAIN OFF 2010

Dogs Deserve Better is an organization based in PA that helps bring awareness of the cruelty of chaining dogs. Each year they host the Chain Off, which is for two weeks during the summer (usually around July 4...FREEDOM!!). People chain themselves, to trees, to doghouses, to poles...anywhere from 8 hours up to 24 hours or more. Donations come in through friends & family who sponsor them and from the kind strangers that happen to stop by and ask whats going on.




Last year we participated in the Chain Off and chained oursleves to an old doghouse for 8 hours in a parking lot. We raised $300 and got a spot on the local news station.





This year, we did it again, only this time we chained oursleves to trees in the park AND we had two more people join us in the chaining (as well as dogs!) After 11 hours (and online donations as well) we collected over $600!!!






We DOUBLED our fundraising!!!! How great is THAT!!?!?!?!!?!? Hopefully next year will be even bigger!!!!!
