I'm landlord-tenant attorney, so I don't know too much about the situation. It's not relevant really whether you live there or not; if the dog's presence is violating the terms of her lease, it could be grounds for eviction. But they can't evict someone in 24 hours--it's a much longer process.

Maybe they stole the dog, maybe not. But if they are not communicating with you because they want a "reward", they may be guilty of something.

My friend was recently banned from possession/ownership of animals. He has not had a final hearing yet and been convicted of anything but the judge already ordered the ban. Does living with my friend mean that I also wouldn't be able to own any? What are the chances of them appealing the ban?

If he is not allowed to possess animals or own them then he would be wise to not be in a home where there are animals lest he get charged with an offense.
We had a dog spayed in FL which had complications totally $15K. We've been unsuccessful in obtaining getting the surgeon to response back with a letter of malpractice against the veterinarn clinic in FL.

You can sue, but you will lose. Complications are a normal part of surgeries, whether on humans or animals. In order for the veterinarian to be liable for the complications, you have to show that s/he did something negligent, or below the standard of care. If you can't show that with... View More
