Cause she was chained outside, of course! But this year, that Hound Dog is a darn lucky dog...cause she has the Duke of Elvis pulling up a doghouse on her behalf down in Greenville, South Carolina!
That's right...this year the official Duke of Elvis, Steve Cates and his wife and partner Trish Cates will be chaining with us in Greenville, South Carolina. We've even got wind of a possible specially designed Hound Dog doghouse for Steve and the Duke of Elvis singing while chained...who knows what will happen, stay tuned for more details!
Trish tells us "We are currently working to locate our doghouses (5 furdogs in the house and not one doghouse, bet you can't figure where they all stay??) As for the chains from the dogs we rescued, they quickly found their way to the trash!!!"

Join us, either at our main event in Greenville, South Carolina, or stage your very own event in your backyard or local area.
So far we have 26 people in 18 states, plus Canada and Romania.
Call me crazy, but I want to see 100 MORE PEOPLE STEPPING UP TO THE PLATE AND CHAINING WITH US! HELP US MAKE A HUGE IMPACT THIS YEAR by standing in your local community or with us in South Carolina.
And, while it's unbecoming of me as organizational founder to whine, here I am a-whinin'...because did you all see how that Rhonda Sims is kicking my butt in fundraising again? For the second year in a row? It's unconscionable! She's already raised a whopping $2,960 dollars, and here I am at only $130.01 (and the $5.01 was donated by my boyfriend-I suspect he's in cahoots with Rhonda, next he claims he's gonna send $500 her way! For his sake, let's all hope he's joking...)
Far be it for me to beg, but yes, here I am beggin'...sponsor me for Chain Off this year! My personal goal is to raise $4000 for the chained dogs, and while that may be a lofty one, Dogs Deserve Better is surely an organization worthy of our support.
