However, i have a long haired golden retriever that lives outside for the most part even in winter months. I live in the northeast and the temps occasionally get into the single digits. She has an insulated doghouse on our deck and always has fresh water and food. I do not tie her up and she has a large fenced in back yard to play in. She is also given alot of attention, exercised daily, and sees the vet on a regular basis. However i have recieved several comments from neighbors who have the "no dogs outside in cold" belief. Also had someone call the SPCA, they came out and checked out her living conditions and health and told me that she was fine to stay outside and that she is in good health and is a very happy dog. If the dog is being neglected than Yes, call the shelter. If the dog has adequate food/water/shelter, is in good health, and is a breed capable of withstanding cold weather there is no reason it cannot stay outside.

If the dog's are not sleeping in their dog houses it's because they want to be outside. Trust me, my neighbors called the humane society on me and they came out and laughed because my dog's house was insolated and he's a snow dog who loves outside and chose to stay outside! When they came it was 0 out and the dog was laying outside instead of in his warm dog house. If you're really worried, please talk to your neighbor, but chances are it's not because they dont care about the dogs, its because the dogs are outside dogs and do love being outside.
