Hello,
This is a long story but I will try to keep it short.
I have a neighbour that has two dogs. One dog lived in a cage in the front yard and one lived on a five foot leash in the back of the yard. Both dogs had very little shelter. The owner likes to go away for the weekends (about once a month she does not return until three to five days later) and these dogs were left without food and water. The dogs do not get any attention or stimulation. We live in a trailer park and the yards are small so we could hear and see the dogs crying and see the neglect.
I have offered to walk the dogs, to keep the dogs in our home at night, I have offered to buy the dogs. I even bought the dogs dog-loos. I have explained the dogs have basic feelings and need care. Nothing had worked.

So I took pictures of the dogs on the weekends. The pictures show the dogs and the living conditions. The empty bowls, lack of water etc.
I then made an appointment with animal control and explained that esp on the weekends the dogs lack water. During the week they do have water and food but come Friday night to Sunday they go without.

Our animal control called the aspca but they did not mention that the complaint was about the lack of care on the weekends. As a result animal control officers went on a Tuesday and found no violations.

They did tell the owner to buy straw for the dog houses or put the dogs inside. So the owner has put both dogs in a shed and there they have stayed almost 24 hours a day.

I called back the aspca and they came on a weekend but because the shed is locked they could not see the dogs. On another day they did inspect the shed for paint, gas or anything harmful. They then said that there was nothing more they could do unless if I see the dogs have no water on the weekend then I should call them.
However I can't because I ( like the aspca) cannot see inside the shed.
It was 18 degrees last night here in Wayne, nj. The shed they are in has thick walls but no heat. If you walk about 30 feet away from the shed you cannot hear the dogs barking but because their shed is next to our bedroom we still can hear them. One dog has a very short coat and is thin. You can see his spine. I worry about them.

This person moved in about three months ago. The problem is for me I am really starting to have a hard time with this. I feel hopeless, I can't concentrate, I have nightmares, Yesterday when I went to work I left my door wide open because my mind is not working correctly.. Seeing the abuse and now knowing it is still there is really causing me some depression.
Does anyone know how one can find help to emotionally deal with seeing abuse of animals? Is this a common reaction? I cannot fine any support groups for this type of thing. My wife is handling this better than I am. I am falling apart though.
