Has anyone reported this yet? because I will if no one has yet.

It is not illegal, as owners (unfortunately) have the right to do this as long as the dog has access to food/water/shelter at SOME point during the day. I am not familiar with the ACO in that town, but some actually require the dog to be visibly abused or starving before they will step in. Please call them and report it anyway, some ACOs are really wonderful and will tell the people not to keep their dog out in this weather.

Has New haven Animal Control been notified?

Hi blockwatcher, please do call animal control. You can do so anonymously (we can't since we don't know all the details/exact location). There is certainly a chance they will find something illegal/inhumane/cruel about what's going on there, even if "just" chaining him up isn't illegal as one poster pointed out.

The phone number is: (203) 946-8110 PLEASE help this helpless doggie! thanks!

ACO (NH Animal Shelter) has been notified and intends to investigate tomorrow (1/12).

We'll see . . .

You are a wonderful person for making the effort! Thank you!

Tenants moved out and no dog.
