Q: IAM homeless &my dog got hit by a car. A woman came next day &offered to help.now she saying I'm not getting him back
How can I get my dog back?. I've never gave her him. She offered care cause he was hurt pretty bad I did take him to vet and gave my Iast 100 dollars so they can do X-ray and pain medicine. But I was told that he would need surgery. This woman said she had a friend that works at a rescue shelter. She promised that they would raised money and get him better that I would be able to go see him and that when he gets better I'll get him back. I have checked the rescue website and they have changed his name and saying he was given up. Please help me I need my dog back.
A:
Sue the woman and shelter in Small Claims for fraud and for an Order for return of the dog. If you sue, bring all evidence that the dog is yours, along with some kind of proof of value (receipts, offers for sale of similar dogs, etc.).
Plaintiff’s Claim and ORDER to Go to Small Claims Court; Form SC-100 (Lawsuit for monetary damages)
Request for Court Order and Answer; Form SC-105 (Request for Return of Property, filed with SC-100)
Order on Request for Court Order; Form SC-105A
Proof of Service; Form SC-104

No guaranties that these are the appropriate forms or that a Small Claims Judge will rule in your favor.
