Q: How do we stop and adoption service from taking our new dogs away
We adopted 2 puppies about 3 weeks ago. The agency is now saying they are not a good fit and want to take them away.
A:
First, review the adoption agreement you signed with the agency. This document will outline your rights and the conditions under which the agency can reclaim the dogs. Understanding these terms is crucial for knowing where you stand legally.
Next, communicate with the agency to understand their specific concerns. Ask for a clear explanation of why they believe the puppies are not a good fit. This conversation can help you address their issues directly and possibly negotiate a solution that allows you to keep the dogs.
If the agency insists on taking the puppies despite your efforts, consider seeking legal advice to understand your options. Document all interactions with the agency and gather evidence that shows your capability and commitment to caring for the puppies. This documentation can be useful if you need to dispute their decision formally.
