Q: If you sold a dog to someone and they took it to the pound, do you have the right to go pick it up ?
We have 3 pups in the pound in Lamar Colorado. They decided they didn’t want them because they are going to be big. Instead of bringing them back to us they dropped them off at the pound. The pound is giving us a hard time about picking them up saying they are going to some rescue
A: If you sold dogs to someone and did not retain ownership rights, then they can dispose of the dogs however they want. The adoption shelter can also do whatever they want, too. That said, it would be in your best interest to get an animal attorney involved to help resolve this issue.
