Non-Profit Event: Dogs Deserve Better


Who: Dogs Deserve Better: Sixth Annual Chain Off, National Main Event
Where: Dupage County Fairgrounds, 2015 W. Manchester Road, Wheaton
When: From 11:15 a.m. June 28 to 11:15 a.m. June 29, 2008

What is it?

Animal activists, dog lovers and concerned owners will chain themselves to doghouses in designated locations across the United States as a protest/performance art to raise awareness of the suffering of millions of dogs who live their lives chained.

This may seem normal, since who hasn't seen a "Beware of Dog" sign, and walked past a house with a dog chained to a pole, tree or house? But what many don't realize is that an estimated 6 million dogs will never know life without a chain and this results in aggression, anxiety and even insanity. This event aims to raise general awareness of all inhumane treatment of dogs.
