Q: When fostering a dog, if you have had it longer than the owner can you claim posetion of the dog?
I am fostering a dog. I have had it longer than the owner and it is at the vet under my name. She comes from a home with small children and she can be snappy at times. The reason why I am fostering her is because the owner at the time could not support her. I worry about her health and safety with the owner. Right now I have her well potty trained, following basic commands and she is on a good schedule and diet. When she came to me she was skinny and always sleeping. Now she is a playful puppy that is substaining a good weight.
A: No. Work something out with the owner. Sounds like they are relying on the bond you have formed to get a free ride.
