Angie Wyche went to the creature asylum to get a little cat. She returned with an old heartworm-positive lab-blend pooch whom she named Chance.
This started her campaign five years back as prime supporter and leader of Voices of Chance Animal League, codename — VOCAL. VOCAL's main goal is to dispense with pooches being continued chains by offering free fencing and canine safe houses to families in require.

There will be a noiseless sale with things, for example, a voyage, a shoreline house getaway on St. George Island, wine sampling and that's just the beginning.
VOCAL gets demands from group individuals constantly, said Wyche — referrals from neighbors and creature control, and individuals who connect without anyone else.
"We never have a lack," Wyche said.
Preceding embracing her canine, Wyche didn't know about the quantity of pooches living on chains in Tallahassee.
In any case, binding puppies isn't intrinsically criminal. What is implied by VOCAL's utilization of "binding" is the utilization of a tie appended to a stationary question monitor a canine, left without anyone else.
The problem with the practice, according to VOCAL's website, is the level of aggression the dog can display with its inability to expel energy. Children often become victims from simply wishing to pet the animal.
