Sled Dogs Chained Outside For Summer Are Going ‘Crazy From Boredom’

“We are working with the owner to make improvements relating to shelter to address deficiencies,” Melissa Kosowan, acting associate director of communications for the OSPCA, told The Dodo. “Our investigation remains open as we work to ensure the dogs are receiving the care they require by law. The welfare of these dogs is our priority.”

This isn’t the first time Levitt has filed animal welfare complaints against Chocpaw Expeditions. She first visited the kennel in 2010, and was devastated to see the dogs being kept outside in a muddy field on chains. Many were continuously pacing back and forth, which is a common sign of anxiety in stressed animals.
