Its so nice of you to be so concerned Sandra. If the ISPCA will not help there is very little you can do. I don't know where you live but I don't think that the local pound could/would do very much. Is there any way you could approach this neighbour and offer to take the dog for a walk?. I know it would be difficult for you but you would, at least, be trying to do it for the dog. A walk would make such a difference to the dog. I used to walk the dogs at the local pound and it made such a difference to their lives. I agree its a difficult one but please try - be really nice to this awful neighbour when offering to take his dog for a walk. You have nothing to lose but maybe something to gain.

If the dog is making noise that could be considered a nuisance you can bring the owner to court. You've already approached them like they ask you to do first, so next step is to fill a form in : http://www.citizensinformation.ie/en/environment/animal_welfare_and_control/control_of_dogs.html

Trouble is the guy will probably take it out on the dog - the outcome seems bleak. Of course I agree about taking the owner to court but just try the other approach first. He seems a horrible man.

Sandra would you ever let me know the outcome. You are wonderful to give it a try. At least, you will know that you have your very best for this unfortunate dog.
