If your dog is in plain view, no. If the dog is somewhere that you would have an expectation of privacy, maybe but probably not. Usually the law only prohibits someone from taking sexually explicit photos or photos for sexual gratification.

You can try to sue her for replevin in small claims court, but it will be a he said she said situation as to who owns the mom and puppies. If they claim they didn't give the mother to your mom, then they still own her and the puppies. Typically whoever owns the mom owns the puppies,... View More
My German Shepherd stays in my yard, behind my fence, on a zip line (zip line ensures he doesnt jump of we arent home) however our property is lined with an underground electric fence and if we are outside with him, he roams the whole property restrained by the electric fence. Is this ok, or must... View More

To answer your question as long as he's on your property I can't see what crime is committed. But electronic fences are not fool proof. In addition I do not recommend keeping a dog on a teather, he may hurt himself. I also don't recommend leaving your dog out when you're not... View More
A report was filed 20 days ago, and I just got a citation. Can Larimer Human take their time issuing a citation. They stated there was no time frame. So anyone could receive a citation any period of time after a report without knowing?

As a nonprofit they claim to be exempt from public records laws and have admitted to one of my clients they have no standard operating procedures.

She verbally broke the lease which we have until August and gave us 48 hours to leave, because I refused to put the dog out of the apartment.

You need a consultation with a landlord /tenant lawyer. Regardless of whether it's legal or not I've seen landlords take matters into their own hands regarding tenants' pets and just claim the pet must have ran away.
This is the first time I've heard about it, so I put in outdoor sandboxes in my yard and filled my yard with catnip. I also bought her cat repellent pellets and put an ultrasonic cat repeller on the edge of my lawn, pointed to hers to keep my cat away. He was an outside cat before given to us... View More

Many municipalities allow trapping of cats on an owner's property regardless of whether there is a cat leash law. Some, like Aurora, go further by having a cat leash law. Keep your cat inside. Outdoor cats average life span is 2 years. Also chip and collar, but if he's off your... View More
She has dementia, severe anger issues and no impulse control. I have recordings of some of the threats
answered on May 29, 2018
Call the police immediately. Have the recordings available. You may also wish to obtain a civil protective order against her that also covers your dog. Forms to file one are available on the Colorado court website. If you need more direction, you should obtain a consultation with an attorney... View More
Owner was incacreated she was notified of the dogs dissappeance.Family checked shelters and websites locating the dog and was told the dog was being adopted. The shelter wouldn't give any other information and immediately removed the dog from there website.

The shelter will be immune from suit. Assuming the shelter held the animal for a stray hold, it would be immune from liability in any for complying with the minimal animal holding periods. See C.R.S. § 35-80-106.3 (2) “An animal shelter and any employee thereof that complies with the minimum... View More

If you were given the cat, it was yours to do what you wanted, including giving it away. If you were only holding onto the cat, you could be sued for breach of oral bailment contact and damages. If that happened you could counterclaim for the value of using taking care of the cat. You cannot be... View More

It depends on the contract. Most rescues will not refund an adoption fee, because of the time and expense that goes into having to find a new foster home for the now relinquished dog to go to. Read your adoption agreement.
I tried getting him out but I was 17, He is the head of the house and he had nothing to do with the dog. It was my dog what do I do?

Anyone in possession, control or harboring/ caring for a dog can be charged. I've never heard of a minor being charged, it's always an adult. I suppose you could try to get the prosecutor to transfer the charges to you, but I don't think that will work since parents are ultimately... View More

You need to call animal control immediately to remove the cats and dogs from that situation!!! I'm an animal attorney so I don't know the answer to your other question.
I adopted a dog 3 weeks ago from a shelter. The shelter advertises that the dogs are dewormed and up-to-date on the bordetella vaccination I heard a horror story from a neighbor that they bought a dog from there and he was sick. So we took our dog to the local vet to make sure he was in good health... View More

Probably not; it would depend on whether they purposely lied and would also depend on the adoption contract. As with any sale, pets are usually sold/adopted as is. Even if you could sue, your damages would be limited to what toy paid for treatment, and you'd need a vet to testify it was... View More

Contact an attorney who handles these cases and sue her. I've done quite a few of these cases. I would not recommend trying to do it on your own.

If you mean that you lost your chipped dog, and went to the shelter and did not see him, but then the shelter called you and left a message, there is no legal requirement that they post anything on your door or send a letter. The shelter needs to hold the dog for 5 business days, which includes... View More

I disagree with the other answer. If the purchaser takes you to small claims court, there will be no attorney, and attorney fees are not recoverable anyway because there is no written contract or statute that allows them. That being said, usually rehoming fees are charged so that the pet... View More

You can submit a Colorado Open Records Act to get the records to try to find out who reported you, but if they did not give their information they may be listed as anonymous. Without knowing more about what the alleged complaint was, it will be difficult to advise you to try to stop it. You may... View More

If you are in Aurora, and a disposition hearing has been set, you will lose ownership of your dogs at that hearing unless you hire an attorney who knows what she's doing. I have handled dozens of these cases.
my dogs broke through the fence & they where over in the neighbor yard, if they left their dog outside over 8 hours & it provoked my dogs to attack, what can be done? like if they want my dog put to sleep can i fight that?
answered on Mar 28, 2018
You need to contact an experienced animal attorney immediately for a consultation. Ask the attorney what percentage of their cases are dangerous dog defense, how many trials they have done and the outcomes before moving forward so you make sure you are getting the best advise.
The dog that attacked my pet was in our household, but owner went to prison & was to be picked up by his girlfriend $ her sister, she never picked up & this dog mauled my pet to a point of 800.00$ in vet bill
answered on Mar 21, 2018
I personally think if you did try to sue either of the parties, if they actually responded (which they may not, and you may get a judgement by default), they could claim you were contributorily negligent in whatever happened to cause the mauling since you were in possession of the dog. The issue... View More
