Q: My girlfriend is thinking about going to Minnesota to work for a few months and come back around November
She is worried that her family (mainly her mother) will give away her 2 dogs while she's gone. The family has stated numerous times that those were her dogs and if she ever were to move out, she would have to take them. The job only lasts until November and it begins around the end of July. What legal action can my girlfriend take in order to avoid this? What at her rights in this situation? If the dogs were to be given away, can she sue?
A: She should probably take the dogs with her rather than abandon them to family members who do not want them.
