Below are links to information regarding pets living inside with the family vs. outside alone.  Please read the important information about pet theft, pet training, the dangers of pets being left alone outside and the loneliness they feel.   Southside SPCA does NOT advocate pets living outside in a fenced yard or on a chain or rope, and we urge you to let your pet live inside so they can be part of your family as they deserve to be.  You will never know the joy, companionship and love your pet has to offer  if they  have to live outside.
