Q: Can my boyfriends parents take our dogs to the SPCA without our permission one is my support dog and I need her.
They told us we couldn't have them just that we both needed to work and now that we have jobs they say we need to get rid of our dogs or they will take them to the SPCA because we can't be with them all day since we are working. One is my emotional support dog and I have a letter from my counselor saying I need her due to my severe PTSD one is micro chipped as well. They sprung this up on us suddenly . They don't take good care of they're dogs and claim we abuse n neglect ours because we're at work all day. I want to know the laws that apply here. Thank you
A: How are they even accessing your dogs? More details are necessary to provide a professional analysis of your issue. The best first step is an Initial Consultation with an Attorney. You can read more about me, my credentials, awards, honors, testimonials, and media appearances/ publications on my law practice website, www.AEesq.com. I practice law in CA, NY, MA, and DC in the following areas of law: Business & Contracts, Criminal Defense, Divorce & Child Custody, and Education Law.

A: If the dogs belong to you, then it is a kind of theft if someone took them without your permission. If you left the dogs at your boyfriend's parents' home, then they were probably within their rights if they gave you notice beforehand. You may need a support dog, but you aren't entitled to have it in someone else's home. Get your dog back and move out.
