What do you mean by "Original health paper"; was it something signed?

When you say, "let's assume", it sounds like a hypothetical (such as a law school exam question), particularly since you are asking about the legal rights of both sides. If this is a real-life situation, I suggest you re-post to specify your role in this situation and to ask for... View More
Tenants of only two months have a dog that is a Pitbulll mix and the park supervisor is now, after initially agreeing to having the dog at the park, demanding my father make the tenants move out of said property. The park contract states that Pitbulls are not allowed, but the park supervisor... View More

First of all, it does not matter whether this policy is "costing you father great tenants and a good source of income."
Secondly, whatever the park supervisor said is not relevant; nor is what they said controlling because whatever they said it is not in writing. The... View More
Police were called, not helpful. Can I go to Doctor are they liable
answered on Oct 18, 2020
Of course you can seek medical attention. They are probably liable; ask them to notify their insurance company.
It is a shared tard
answered on Oct 18, 2020
I assume that the owner of the dog is your landlord. The lease should provide rules for how the yard is to be shared and, assuming the lease allows dogs, how sharing is to work with dogs. If it doesn't, and the dogs can't get along, you may have grounds to break the lease.
Both dogs have had medical issues and surgeries because of genetic defects. According to our Vet, because of the breeding. We found out about the breeder through her website (facebook) where there were several postings from other owners having issues and her falsifying information in regards to... View More

The issue is whether the breeder committed fraud and/or breached the contract. Genetic defects, alone, do not provide a ground for suit. Many purebreds have genetic defects, hence it's better to adopt a mutt. Falsified info, if justifiably relied on to your detriment, may constitute... View More
I have had my cat for 16 years. He's an indoor cat and only ventures out to the screened in porch on occasion but never goes outside the porch and does not come into contact with other cats or other animals. Well, maybe the occasional lizard or spider. He's been very healthy this entire... View More

The vet may or may not report you. The licensing law is probably specific to your local area; why not bring him to a vet outside of that area?
My husband was just told today our dog might be a dad. This happened under the supervision of my in-laws. (Our dog is a purebred and theirs is not) what can I do to ensure responsibility so they aren’t taking advantage of their dogs pregnancy? I already know the pups or Mom won’t have proper... View More

No, animals such as your dog don't have rights. If you feel they are mistreating the resulting pups or other animals, you report them then.
I was walking into the dog park, but there's 2 gates and the first gate goes into a boxed area that you unleash your dog. I was told by the dog owner that he wanted to pick up his small dog before we proceeded into the dog park. I let him pick up the dog and when I opened the second gate... View More

Yes, you have a case against the dog owner for strict liability and negligence. Discuss your case with counsel here in Florida about contingency fee representation, which means you don’t pay anything unless you win. Hopefully, you can find out the identity of this dog owner. If not, a private... View More

Before you give the dog away, get something from him, in writing, to the effect that he is giving the dog to you.

In order to claim a possessory lien on the horse, a security interest in the horse would need to have been created in the boarding contract. The only other way to get the horse would be to sue the owner, get a judgment, levy upon the horse, and then buy it at the execution sale.

Why do you think it would do any good to record a lien on your own property?
Me and my emotional support animal has been deined housing. i have emails to show they asked me to fill out pet forms and then deined me after I would not fill them out. When someone has an emotional support animal or a service dog by law no one can make u fill out a pet form. Why because service... View More
answered on Aug 24, 2020
One of your first mistakes was refusing to fill out the pet form. I don't know what questions were on that form, but I believe you were probably incorrectly claiming that it was against the law for them to ask you to fill it out. If you claim that the animal is an "emotional support... View More
can we take legal action on this matter because no one signed any contracts but we do have picture proof that they agreed on the matter
answered on Aug 12, 2020
Perhaps, but you didn't say what the agreement provided for. And, I don't know if it matters, but by "female dog owner", do you mean that the owner was female or the dog was female. Ditto re: the "male dog owner".
A man at the dog park who I don't know and don't believe is completely there has been harassing other peoples dogs.

No, you can't "press charges". It's not a crime to touch someone else's dog.
answered on Aug 10, 2020
Your question is unclear. Do you mean that you are in a business partnership and that the partnership is in the dog-breeding business? If so, why would your partner want to sue you?
I heard certain verbiage can hold dog owner liable if the dog bites someone; while other verbiage releases dog owner from liability. Please provide clarity of this issue. Thank you very much.
answered on Jul 25, 2020
The wording on such a sign would not "release[ you] from liability", but it might be evidence that the injured person had assumed the risk of being injured by your dog. It's difficult to imagine how or why you would post a sign which would "hold [you] liable"; perhaps... View More
They were warned we had dogs too
