This mod modifies the area of Dusty's enclosure, getting rid of those fences and adding a ramshackle, run-down make-shift half-assed dog shelter over poor Dusty's flimsy cardboard box.
Also, tweaks the grass for better visual effect and gives him a big pail of water, because hydration is important (drink your water!);
AND, removes the food bowl 'cause that's a food contamination hazard right there, and because like proper, smart dog owners the Mullners feed him INSIDE at MEAL TIMES (so no you won't see any food bowl inside because there are dedicated feeding times and so it is cleaned away afterwards.)

HowTo?

(In)Compatibility

Incompatible with mods making changes to Dusty's enclosure:
Free Dusty, More Space for Dusty, SVExpanded (see below)

Except!
Partially compatible with Domestic Animals:
 I do use Domestic Animals but I always turn Dusty's changes off now that it's configurable.

But what if you want Dusty at your farm with Dusty Overhaul you ask? Well it is also
partially compatible, then only the first part of the mod (before TrashBear's intervention) applies. The second one (actual doghouse) doesn't.
I've toyed with the idea of adding a complete edit of my homemade overhang for DO's seasonal dog shelter, but I don't use DO so  -ù_ù-

!! BUT it IS compatible with Endwyr's DustyNPC !! simple false dependency trick.
In fact, I highly recommend it. I did make this mod because I wanted dusty roaming around. 
Why else would you put a dog's pen in an busy open lot surrounded by two other private residences and a PUB, instead of an enclosed front yard?
Or even your already enclosed backyard... never made any sense to me, so there, he can use an old run-down structure whose previous purpose is unknown.

I don't use SVExpanded, so you don't need it either. :)
I might add a visual compatibility if you want my trashy dog shelter in SVE (thanks! I'm flattered), but it WOULD be untested.

The following Town mods have been added as false dependencies to ensure that this mod here integrates seamlessly:
NoraCharles' Town Tweaks;
DaisyNiko's Convenient Town.


If you need a compatibility patch or bug fix just ask and I'll look into it.


CREDITS, Recommendations and Thanks

CONCERNEDAPE for the vanilla assets.




Dusty not included, so go get it:

Endwyr  for DustyNPC   'cause this mod here is kind of made as an add-on of it?
(Dusty Portrait by: HopeWasHere and later Poltergeister from Stardew Valley Expanded by FlashShifter)
(sallychan for the sprite.) Should I make more alternative colours for great danes? My perfect barred rock chick turned out grea-nonono no time for that.

Furbling for Furbys Alternate Dusty Portraits which I just had to use as my default portrait.



Soon: Gwen's WayBackPT Compatibility, for the upgraded doghome.  (it is done, that's my "default" recolour so I just need to patch it in)
SV3 fix.
