Q: what kind of proof can I take to court showing I no longer own a dog that I had?
In February my dog went lose & animal control got him after I got him out I had a court date for July. I no longer have the dog but the court wants proof. What kind of proof do I show I no longer have him?
A: If you need to prove that you no longer own the dog then you are going to have to show evidence of what happened to him. If you had the dog put down, a vet report and bill would show that, or the dog's medical records. If you sold the dog, show a receipt of sale. If you gave the dog to someone, have that person give you a receipt for the dog or have them sign an affidavit stating that they now own the dog.
