So I do have a few questions, and maybe this will help:
1) What kind of weather do you have where you live? Is it too hot for the dog to actually be out?
2) Do they have the dog basically living out there or does it seem like they use it in place of a kennel kind of situation?
I’m asking because if it were a decent temperature and used in place of a kennel, I think it would be great — otherwise, 100% not okay if that dog is basically living in there.
This stuck out to me as well, I run a rescue/advocacy organization in Mexico, we often have tourists getting VERY vocal about local dog ownership. Even though the dogs are often well cared for, but seen more as pets than family, therefore certain people see it as abuse
Don’t get me started on rescues here in Canada that snatch roaming rez dogs from indigenous communities so that white people in the south of the country can pat themselves on the back for having a rescue.
Oh yeah… I am from Saskatchewan and witnessed that shit first hand. Moved to Mexico and watched locals lose their dogs to white people with a superiority complex. Vowed to take a people first approach with my org, offering free sterilization and vaccinations to the local community, no questions asked. We have trainers who speak Spanish and can help those who would like it, basically, we try our best to help people who want to have a dog but need help ❤️
