So I think when rescues ask for a backyard it's for the dog's own good. JMHO...I hate too see the dogs chained or tied outside and I believe that is why most rescues ask for a yard.

I know...when I see a dog chained up outside, I want to put it's owners on a short chain and see how they like it
It makes me so sad. I don't like any dog living outside 24/7, but at least a dog in a backyard can move around a lot. A dog on a chain can't move much at all...no exercise or anything. It's so sad
