Maybe you should finish the paper work so your dog can live, then go adopt your dog from the humane society or have a friend do so if you cannot afford it. At least if your dog is alive, you have a little time to ask for some charitable donations so you can pay to adopt your dog. Let them know... View More
There was no written agreement between us. My credit was bad and she financed him. To my knowledge she hasn't paid the financing and is just trying to be mean. Vet, registration, akc papers are all in my name only. Can she take him?
answered on May 4, 2017
Since the vet, registration, a.k.c. papers are all in your name, there is evidence she purchased the dog as a gift for you. If you paid her back for the dog then you definitely own the dog, although it sounds like you might have a difficult time proving this, as you stated there was no written... View More
I am moving out of my fathers house soon and he has always told me to take my dog with me when I leave. We have not been on good terms lately and now says he will call the police on me if I take my dog. Since I was a child when I bought my dog and am 18 now, he has paid for all of my dogs vet bills...

If you were to take the dog, you could claim the dog is a gift, as he told you the dog was yours and you have a witness. Since he is your father, there is a stronger presumption that the dog is a gift. However, since your father registered that dog in his name, this could be evidence that he did... View More
I have a black German Shepherd and my mom's dog has mated with her without my permission and after me telling her not to let it happen. And now that it has she wants half the litter.

It is your dog and your pups. Owners that allow their dogs to trespass on the dogs of others have no legal claim. You could make a claim for trespass; however, it appears that you have not been harmed by the trespass, as you have stated the pups are worth $600.00 each.
My Belgem Sheppard had a litter recently. And was mated with my mom's catahula. She's wanting to claim half the litter.
This was done without my permission and with me repeatedly saying they shouldn't.
Erigardles she wasn't paying attention to the two different... View More

Based upon the facts you have given, I do not believe she would prevail if she were to file a lawsuit and claim half the litter. It is your dog that you cared for while she was pregnant. Her dog trespassed on your dog without your permission. She can make whatever claims she wants, I do not... View More
She was repeatedly told to make sure the door was closed, she also never cleaned their water. We've spent almost $2000 between flight changes back from Eurpoe, losing out on our last hotel nights that were already paid for, treats, motion sensor cameras, traps, and a professional pet tracker....

If you paid her for her services and she has assets, such as real property, it might be worth it to sue for breach of contract and negligence and collect damages. If she has no money, it would be a waste of time and money from a business perspective to go after her. There would have to be an... View More
Now she is demanding me to help or I will go to jail and he will be put down I don't believe he did this only cuz he has never done anything like this to my kids or our other animals what should I do

Contact your insurance agent and make a claim under your homeowner's policy. You may be liable for the girl's medical expenses and, if the dog was found to have been unreasonably dangerous before attacking the girl, for the girl's pain and suffering damages as well.
My best friends boyfriend died while she was in Mexico. His dead beat mother took the dog that they shared (originally his dog) for the last 10 months, as a plea for attention like she's a good person. His grandfather and grandmother know that he would not have wanted his mother to have the... View More

It is hard to say. The person that bought the dog would have technically been the owner unless it was gifted to someone else. It just sounds like the mother is grieving and took the dog as a way to deal with her grief. If your best friend wants to figure out ownership rights for the dog, she... View More

Get the dog tested for rabies. He should contact his vet to determine best way.
Or the dog control warden if he was cited.
to cover in event of an attack?Does going through a rental agency effect this?

Why not? They can decide to have a pet friendly or no pets policy.
answered on Aug 9, 2016
"in danger of legal action against me" very much so, if your renter does not have renters insurance or enough of it. Are you liable, that is a much more complex question. If this actually happened, versus theoretical, contact your own insurance company to put them on notice of a claim.
My sister agreed to watch my dog while I was out of town, when I got back she said she was keeping her and that that sucked for me, the dog is registered under my name, I have all of her adoption papers and everything but if I go to her house she won't just give her to me, how can I get her...

I would suggest filing a police report. The police will likely not do anything other than take the report, as they will consider this a civil matter, but it might be enough to get your sister to turn the dog over.
Was going to take the dog home. The only thing I had to hold it with, was with my belt. Which is one that you loop through one circle then back into the other circle & it tightens on its own. Well it's not a very tight belt & the dog got away as I was walking home because the belt got... View More

I would suggest finding a criminal defense attorney to handle this. Anything you say to the police will be used against you.

Call your local animal control department. Tell them that there is a dog on your property without your permission and ask them to impound the dog.

This depends a bit on if you were considered an animal dealer under Oregon law.
