Q: Vet adopted out my service dog without my consent or knowledge. How do I get her back?
Abracadabra aka Abby is my whole world, my furbaby, my Service Dog! I left her with a friend (sitter) for a few hours and in that time she got out and was part of a hit and run. I took her to the vet, told them she is my world, gave them 2 email addresses since I had just lost my phone and said I will be back for her in a week so she may heal properly since she's only 1 1/2 yr old and gets a lil to excited sometimes I didn't want her to make her injuries worse. Well morning of day 10 I'm getting ready to go get her when my mom (who was the emergency contact) tells me she's already been adopted and is gone. I didn't get 1 email from them the entire time she was there and they didn't call my mom telling her to tell me to come get her. There was no communication at all. I have alot of physical and mental/emotional health issues and she is registered as my Emo Support Dog. I'm nothing without her. Abby and I have been thru so much together I'm in the process of writing a book about it.
A: There's not enough information here, but if the vet thought you abandoned your dog, they can give your dog to a shelter.
