Q: People i lived with 6 months ago wont give me my dog i have papers of them acknowledging its mine can i get it back?
I moved out because safety and personal reason. the place i first moved didnt allow animals about a month after i moved they threatened to take the dog to the pound and have it killed if i did not pick it up. Their daughter talked to them and they did not do this. i finally found a place that excepts pitbulls and now i went to get the dog and they said its no longer mine. the woman then went on facebook and posted and i quote. "the owner sent someone else to come get the dog because a couple of weeks ago we told him the dog was no longer his" the person i sent was her daughter because i didnt want something to happen and someone get thrown in jail over it. do i have enough proof that the dog is mine. they believe the dog is theres because they went to the vet and got it fixed without my approval.
A: It will cost you at least 300 to file suit, plus 40 bucks each for each defendant to have them served. So, if you want to spend the money to sue, you might be able to get the dog, if the facts are right.
