Q: My sister left her dog at my mom's. How long does she have to keep him before she can rehome him.
MGMT Has said no more pets. My mom is disabled and he is a big dog that needs to go in and out. My mom struggles to do this daily. Also the dog does not get along with the other pets. My sister has been informed via txt to pick up her dog. She has not responded.
A: Ordinarily, you are under no obligation to keep any other person's animals for any period of time. If she agreed to do so, or accepted money for doing so, that would be different. If she no longer want to, or cannot serve any longer, she should notify her daughter in writing that she will surrender the dogs to Animal Control or some other specified rescue on a certain date if the daughter does not pick them up before that date.
