Q: Mother was temp caring for my dog, surrendered him to animal aid org without my permission. Can I get him back legally?
I was incarcerated briefly, but in regular contact and made it clear that I could make alternate arrangements if necessary. I also made clear that I was not willing to surrender him and had other options available if she was unable to care for him. She has admitted (recorded conversation) that she went against my wishes and our agreement and surrendered on her own despite this.
A: You could try to do so, but it would require a lawsuit--probably one in circuit court--which would be expensive. You should contact an attorney if you can afford one.
