These dogs had no way to escape the icy wind, had no warm place to curl up, and were desperate for the essentials PETA\u2019s fieldworkers rushed to them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Keeping dogs chained and penned outdoors is legal in many areas, putting them at risk of frostbite, hypothermia, and even freezing to death when temperatures drop. Our fieldworkers <em>always<\/em> try to convince owners to bring dogs inside or surrender them to our care, but when they refuse, fieldworkers do all they can to improve the lives of forgotten dogs and set positive examples for their care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This winter, with the support of caring donors, PETA\u2019s team:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2705 Delivered sturdy, insulated doghouses to lonely dogs, providing them with some protection and relief from driving snow and wind.<br>\u2705 Filled each doghouse with soft straw bedding to keep dogs as dry and warm as possible on the coldest nights.<br>\u2705 Made countless trips to check on dogs, refresh straw bedding, fill empty food bowls, and replace frozen water with fresh.<br>\u2705 Gave dogs toys and attention to brighten their days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite the freezing weather, many dogs wagged their tails in excitement as fieldworkers approached and thanked them with a lick or snuggle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Meet some of the dogs PETA helped this winter, thanks to our generous donors:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Dino<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>PETA fieldworkers trekked through snow to bring this sweet dog Dino a custom-built doghouse, his only shield against the dangerous cold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped
