Q: I gave my dog to a new home less than a week ago and now i want him back. She wont respond to my texts asking for him
There was no bill of sale and i still have his shot records and his microchip goes to my name and address. is there anyway i can get him back?
A: You can sue her in replevin to get your dog back, but it might be difficult to prove if you gifted the dog to her. It sounds like more details are needed to fully answer your question. I would recommend speaking to an animal law attorney to determine the strengths and weaknesses of your case.
A: You no longer own the dog so you cannot sue for replevin. Replevin is only for cases in which someone has property that you own. When you gave your dog away you lost ownership.
