Chainfree Bristol

Chloe is the 28th and Shadow the 29th Chainfree Bristol Success!  

Chloe, a five year old, tri-colored Jack Russell is very excited to get her new fenced enclosure so she no longer has to be chained. In a two day project Chainfree Bristol installed a large backyard enclosure for Chloe. Thanks to CFB Volunteers: Shea, Jake, Les, Eden, Liza and Anita.

Shadow is a 9 year old black Belgian Sheepdog lived with a chain around his neck… chained to a tree for 6 years because he was a digger. Chainfree Bristol Founding Director, Liza, installed welded wire fencing around the bottom of an existing 20 x 20 kennel in order to allow Shadow to be chain-free!!
