My neighbour leaves his dog out in his garden for hours crying even in the pouring rain.
Is this animal cruelty?
I'm pondering whether to contact RSPCA. |

"Does it have an outside kennel?
If not call RSPCA"
Oh I don't know that but surely the lack of contact is cruel?
He cries for hours and hours.
It's heartbreaking.

Possibly.
It's definitely neighbour cruelty having to listen the whining all day long so I'd have to say something to them as a first point of call then see what happens next  |

Do you get on with your neighbour? If so, then it will be easier to make a direct approach and maybe say "I don't want to appear nosey or anything, but....."
If you don't get on though, it does make things trickier, because even if you make an anonymous report, chances are the neighbour will work out it's you. 
Hope the situation is resolved amicably OP!  |

He's not the approachable type and never answers his door.

That is animal cruelty and I would love if you would report him. I have a German Shepherd and a pug who are indoor dogs.. I work from home in the morning rather than leave them on their own.. They need their pack so that situation is neglect. |

Bring the dog in yours to keep warm and when the neighbour gets home and wonders where the dog is. Tell him you are keeping the dog at yours and phone up the RSPCA then tell him to go stand in the rain. |

Dogs, like many animals, can live outdoors. Its distress is more likely to be a combination of boredom and separation anxiety. Sadly there are no laws against being a shit dog-owner, just a cruel one
Environmental Health will get better results than the RSPCA.

In your shoes, I'd definitely contact the RSPCA for advice - I can't abide animal cruelty and/or neglect. I must admit that if he's not the approachable type I might be a little worried about potential repercussions (if he's *that* sort of unapproachable) but on the other hand the cries of a whining dog can carry quite far and chances are other people in the vicinity will have also heard him so could just as easily have reported.
Hope they take it seriously if you do report ... god knows why some people get pets when this is how they treat them

I would contact the RSPCA for advice and ask them for their opinion. They may do a welfare visit and check on the circumstances.
I don't think it's acceptable, as someone who used to breed dogs, to leave a dog outside for hours and hours while it cries. |

video the dog crying outside in the rain, document a few days of how long it's left out there and how long it's crying for. like when they crying starts and stops, time it was put outside then taken in.
send this info to the rspca with your concerns.
i think it's cruel yes as although animals can live outside they haven't got the capability to when they've become pets and need looking after. they aren't wild animals once you domesticate them. |

Unfortunately I can't get to the dog to comfort him.
Plus I have a kitten who'd freak out.
The neighbour is probably at work but as I say it's the lonesome crying that gets me.
I'll put a note through his letterbox explaining my concerns.
Yikes.

It's something I've never done to a dog.
I couldn't. |

Years ago I did report a neighbour because the dog yowled all day to sspca. They went and talked to the owner and then phoned back with an update. The owner didn't know the dog was distressed as they weren't about. After that the yowling stopped so they either rehomed the dog or it was left inside.
Maybe your neighbour doesn't know how distressed his dog is? |

For me personally yes I'd report it straight away. Whether or not the owner is mistreating it if you have a concern the RSPCA should know. If they investigate and there's no problem then there's nothing lost. However if it's left and the dog is being harmed physically or mentally then it's not good |

Well I've left a note.
Hopefully he'll take notice as I don't want to cause any problems. |

I believe that any animals kept outdoors must have adequate shelter. So, if the dog doesn't then your neighbour may be breaking the law.
If it was me I would be reporting him, but I also wouldn't expect the rspca to do anything other than pester you for donations |

You've done the right thing putting a note through. If he fails to acknowledge receipt of it (assuming you were clear who you are) then I'd really recommend following everyone's suggestions of contacting the RSPCA to do a welfare check. They're used to doing this and are diplomatic and professional, and are there to help -- both animal and owner. It can sometimes be that the owner themselves is unaware or unclear on what to do or unable to cope themselves, they may be struggling and need support, so a call to the RSPCA may be helpful at all levels. If they are being intentionally cruel or simply through omission then this can also be addressed, and is the right thing. Well done for taking a step to assist, it's too often easier to look the other way. xx |

A pet dog is basically a child. It is a creature that can't ask for what it wants, or provide for itself. It should be treated as such. |

No but you can treat them with the same level of kindness
You wouldn't leave a child out crying in the rain, you wouldnt kick a child so why do some people think it's acceptable to treat an animal in this way?
But then I guess some people would treat a child in that way
Personally I see no point in having a dog if it's kept outside
If there is no kennel it is classed as abuse, an outside dog by law has to have shelter for if it rains |

See that's how I see it, a dog is 100% dependent on you and if your not willing to uphold your duty as a pet owner don't get a pet |

Most councils have a dog Warden who you can start with they could look at the noise side with the crying and have basic knowledge re welfare . Likewise as other posters RSPCA can do a visit and check but you'd probably get quicker response from Warden. X |

I have a somewhat similar situation, though it's not as blatant.
Maybe use your phone to record the noise and even include something to prove the times in the footage.
Any authorities might find visual/aural evidence helpful when working out whether to proceed. |

Technically a dog is closer to a wolf than a human child. As domesticated animals, sheep and cows are left outside in rain and snow.
Good to see you back though

The " crying" is separation anxiety; it happens often when dogs are left indoors, too.
Dogs are social/ pack animals, and can suffer extreme anxiety if left alone for long periods.
Nothing wrong in principle with a dog being outdoors, but it must have shelter . |

Correct.
A dog should not be left alone ( even indoors) for more than 4 hours.
It should have shelter if outdoors. That means a minimum of out of rain, and shelter from wind. Ie a proper kennel. |

Nope. A dog is an animal and a pet. As I said, I would never neglect an animal but it would know it's place in my pack and that is an animal and a pet, not a child. It would receive shelter and food and medical care and affection but there is a definite difference between what I would provide for a pet and what I would provide for children. Hasn't ever done my 2 cats any harm.
I wonder how so many stray dogs survive if they can't provide for themselves |

OP how long has he had the dog?
Used to have family who left their dog out when they were at work, as it got too nervous alone inside and tore up pillows and had defecated due to stress.
Eventually they got it a kennel for the outdoor weather.
It's not nice but better than him putting the dog up for adoption. |

The thing is people have different definitions on how a pet should be loved
I have two dogs who are part of my family and as such live in my house , they have never been outside dogs but that's my definition of loving a pet, some people see no harm in keeping a dog outside but that's their definition of loving them as a pet
It's a hard one to decided how a dog should be looked after because we all have our own ideas
There is no law to say a dog can't be kept outside so long as your garden follows its basic needs ie shelter from the rain/sun etc but even so I stil wouldn't put my dogs outside |

Looking for a better more suitable home would have been a better option
Op are you in a position to offer the dog a home?
If not maybe volunteer to find new home for dog to owner. He might want rid of it but not bothered to put in effort |

If the dog does not have any shelter of any form from the elements, in particular rain, and it is all the time, then yes it is animal cruelty.
Wild animals have the option to find shelter in inclement weather.
As for the noise, contact the council, they will deal with it if there are enough complaints. |

True. I grew up with working dogs and waited until one of us was home full-time before we got one last year. It took a fortnight to settle his separation anxiety, and even now he can't be left outside any shop he isn't used to.
My experience of the RSPCA is that they aren't that fussed unless there's a chance of a successful prosecution, whereas Environmental Health are more successful at achieving results in these sort of cases.

It's cruel to leave them outdoors in any terrible weather...hot/cold etc without any shelter of sorts.

its not cruelty to leave a dog while you go to work...as long as you provide water etc.. so id imagine 4 hours is a bit less than what would be deemed acceptable .
Op.. I think by leaving a message you have done the right thing.... maybe the owner is unaware that his dog is even crying out x

If you don't get a response from the note you have left, the next option should be your local council to complain about the noise. In my experience the RSPCA are a waste of time unless they have a camera crew intow. I contacted them a year ago about a dog that had been abandoned in a yard when the owners had moved out, they said because it had an old outhouse for shelter and I had fed it they would not attend, even though it's owners had moved out of the property and abandoned him, and even told me not to take him because it was theft. So I thought bollocks to that,phoned the police explained what had happened, they came round kicked the back gate in and left the dog in my care. My ex has him and he's a fantastic loving dog. |

Aside from all the animal rights points above, which I agree with, there are also legal rights to address antisocial behaviour towards neighbours
His dog crying all day is antisocial, you can report that to the council and they will serve him with a notice that it needs to be addressed. Otherwise the council can fine/evict (if rented and continues)
Good luck |

But, yes the dog should have shelter from the weather and some water. If you don't hear from neighbour or it continues, I would get advise from RSPCA. Good luck. |

RSPCA probably won't do anything. Especially if the dog has access to shelter and water.
Environmental health with send a letter and warn of noise. They will give you a noise diary to complete. You'll get more action this way. |

I've always kenneled my dogs outside even through winter, although exceptional winter weather I bring them in.
They prefer being outside to come and go around the garden as they please.
Although I've always had outdoor breeds, I'm not sure a pug could "survive" it |

OP I wouldn't bother wasting your time contacting the RSPCA.
I have contacted them on several occasions regarding animal cruelty/neglect.
On one occasion a cat had a broken leg that hadn't been treated. 12 months later the cat still hadn't seen a vet and had a permanent limp because it never got treated. The RSPCA didn't take any action at all, they never visited even when given the address.
However they did repeatedly phone me at least once a week asking me to make regular monthly donations to them and wouldn't remove my details from their system. This continued for well over a year and only stopped when I changed my phone number.
If you need to get further advice try contacting your local dog warden or the environmental health department at the council. |
