Wellington, OH asked in Animal / Dog Law for Ohio

Q: We got a dog from the shelter 3days ago got loose.I posted on Facebook we got him back.

Someone called saying it’s his dog. The son of the guy called said not to give it back to the father to keep him or give it to the son because he would take him. Not sure what to do. I still haven’t said we found him because of all of this. But they didn’t get him from the shelter from one town over. Not sure what Ohio law is on this

A: Keep your dog. You adopted it from a shelter, it's your dog now. If they continue to harass you, you can call the police on them.
