I lost my dog because our gate was left open and he ran out. My dog was picked up by a lady around 20 minutes later. She had him for two days, and she didn’t post anywhere that she had found him. She went to get him chipped and put her name down as his owner. The only reason we found out is because her coworker overheard her talking about it, and he remembered seeing my post so he commented on it. How can I get my dog back?
A year ago I got a beautiful bernese mountain dog for me and my family. My girlfriend at the time helped me purchase the dog. I was asked if I wanted my girlfriend to be a secondary owner to the dog, to which her answer was immediately yes. Although I paid for the majority of the dog and signed as the primary owner, does my ex girlfriend have the right to take the dog whenever she likes? She does not have a suitable living area for a dog that large, and she has a long history of abusing and doing things that I didn't like to the dog. I even have a screenshot of a text of her saying that she doesn't want the dog anymore because "she's a terror to him", but then a week later she took back the statement. I don't feel comfortable with him under her care, and I hope I gave enough information to get a clear answer.
Does a homeless man have the right to claim his abandoned dog after I have had her for 5 months?
My daughter's friend gave us a puppy that she couldn’t have at her residence, and now my daughter's friend is claiming she wants the puppy back after she gave it away. She’s holding on to the tags for the puppy and pills for him, as a means of leverage to get the puppy back. After giving him away to us, do they still have rights to the puppy, or have they relinquished their rights?
I had a husky puppy from birth (I owned his mother), but he suddenly went "missing". Though the husky breed are known to wonder, he hardly ever left my yard or was ever left unattended outside or in a kennel. I have pictures and vet bills and Facebook posts about the missing dog. Now, a man 5 minutes down the road from me posted him on Facebook. I know it's been 3 years but this was my dog. I tried to speak to him about it and he blocked me. Can I get my dog back after 3 years? I understand he's in a decent home but he holds a special place in my heart.
Can I get my dog back if my spouse surrendered the dog to a shelter while we were separated?
Is it required by state law for the SPCA to let you know when you're adopting an animal that is special needs?
I turned my dog in to a shelter and a few days later I changed my mind, but now he was adopted by another family. Can I have the dog back? Is there any legal action I can take or laws that says I can have him back?
We purchased a German Shepard from a Pet Store and had all the papers and the Breeder's information. When we brought her home she had diarrhea. I called the pet store and they said it was the change in food or just a sensitivity to the change in her environment. We ending up rushing her to a vet when she started vomiting. We had only had her for 3 days. They checked her for all kinds of things and put her on a special diet. She straightened out in a couple of days and then it started again after a month, so she has had bouts of diarrhea on and off. We've now been to 2 different vets. She has all her shots. Before her lyme shot she was a healthy and 60 lbs. She started the next day with diarrhea, and in two weeks was down to 50 lbs. We of course went to a third vet to get a second opinion. They found that she has a pancreas problem and can't digest her food. From start to finish with the vets, we have spent over $3,000 in vets, tests, food, and the most recent vet bill was $625. We are a retired couple on a fixed income. I called the Pet Store and the Breeder. The breeder offered to give us a replacement. We don't want a replacement. We want our dog. She will be okay as long as she stays on special food and meds at the price of $650 a month. I called the Pet store to see if they could do something. We ran out of money and had to return her to the Pet store and are trying to work out a solution with assistance with the meds and food. Isn't there a law that prohibits this kind of stuff? What can I do?
My friend went to jail and had his dog put in foster care until he got out. Now the dog has been adopted, and the place that adopted him is saying that he relinquished his rights.
