Cats and dogs can live together in harmony. It may take a bit, but I have a dog and a cat who have been housemates for three years. At first, the cat wasn't too sure about the invasion of his home, but the dog's attitude was 'cats are people too,' so it did not take too long for them to learn to tolerate each other. Now they even share a water dish..... sometimes at the same time!
Try putting his food inside the dog house. When he gets hungry enough, he will overcome his fear. Make sure that there aren't any serious problems between your pets. If the dog still refuses to go into his dog house, it may be because something happened the last time he went in one. If that is the case, let him in the house and get him one of those doggie beds and put it at the foot of your bed.
Because the dog was rescued you have no idea what happened in his past.The dog could have been abused or had a bad experience with a dog house. The best thing would be try to introduce him to the cats (slowly with supervision) if this will not work let him get use to the dog house on his own put some treats or toys in it and let him get them when he wants don't force him. If he still refuses and inside the house is out of the question, and the outside elements are to bad you might want to consider finding an other home not that your's is not a good home but one that better suits him. Good luck
I agree with leajea. It is awesome you rescued a dog. But I feel every animal deserves the best life. I personally feel no domestic animal should be kept outside. Especially when enviormental issues are a concern. If you feel you can't introduce the dog into your home. It probably is best to find a home that can better accomondate the dog. It doesn't make you a bad person. Just more of a cat person-LOL! But whatever you decide, Good Luck!
