Your current state is Virginia
Yes. It is either one or two years, depending on the exacts facts of how the dog died.
The vet did a $5k surgery to remove it. Can I sue the parents.? They both think my dog was stupid cuz he ate it. But the child put it in my dogs reach.
Dogs are allowed to be stupid. The question, nevertheless, would be whether the parents were negligent by allowing their child to eat the sponge. For the purpose of this question, I shall assume the surgery was necessary.
He ran up to a neighbor and barked. Now I have two misdemeanors for dog at large and dangerous dog for him “charging.” He’s a friendly dog and just wanted to play. He came right back as soon as I called him. What can I do?
You really have to fight these kinds of charges because the consequences for you and your dog can be severe. I would recommend speaking to an attorney about your defenses.
She has been making pmts for many years and would like to be rid of this financial burden. Needs help. I wasn't sure of category.
Consult with a Washington criminal defense attorney for modification of the restitution order, or with the Public Defenders Office.
My ex has been in jail for the last 8 months of the 9. He has had an addiction problem for as long as I can remember and I honestly don't trust him to take care of my dog.
Let your lawyer handle it but I’d husband hasn’t already filed something for the dog, just sit on it. If he has filed something, your divorce lawyer can respond.

I think you mean that you were bitten 23 Nov 2019, not 2020. Did you have pasturella or staph? Go get a certified copy of your medical records and bill and hire a personal injury lawyer no later than 23 Oct 2020.
and she refuses to give the dog back. I have offered to pay her the cost of care for the time she had him, I have all paperwork showing im the owner, what can be done?
Report the dog stolen. It is unlikely that the police will get involved in this dispute, but you should begin there. If that doesn't work, you can sue sue your sister in Small Claims for the value of your dog or its return. If you sue, bring all evidence of the existence of your dog, and its... Read more »

Yes.
If you have been charged with dangerous/aggressive animal, you should speak to an attorney about your defenses because these are serious criminal charges with serious consequences for you and your dog.

I recently bought a dog, as I took him to the vet they believe he has a genetic illness that was caused by a dog being misbred. I contacted the store many times and they will not let me get in contact with the owner or manager. The associate always advises me to contact them later or email. I have... Read more »
Talk to a local consumer lawyer to discuss your options.
This is a coop apt and i got the dog for my daughter who has OCD and mild depression. I removed the dog now her symptoms are worse especially the depression
It sounds like you need to speak with a mental health professional about having the dog prescribed as an emotional support animal. They can be kept even if there is a no pets policy. As far as eviction, if you have openly had the dog for 3 years and the building staff knew there is a NYC law that... Read more »
Have had to put my dogs to keep them from getting ate because the stray is a female and in heat
They should, yes.
And now my neighbor put her vet invoice on my door of 500$!! Am I required to pay it!?
Not unless and until you are convicted or plead guilty to a charge of dangerous/aggressive dog (depending on the jurisdiction). If animal control charged you with a crime, if you plead or are found guilty, you would have to pay any vet bills as part of restitution to the criminal charge.
Keep the dog.
She did nothing but complain about them. She never wanted them I did. I have been the sole provider for them, also she moved to an apartment with no yard.
The fact that her apartment has no yard is completely irrelevant to whether she owns the dogs. The fact that you can provide a better home is completely irrelevant to whether she owns the dogs.
With respect to ownership, your post is unclear. You say that the two of you adopted the dogs,... Read more »

I would like to know if the owners of the animal i complained about, can sue me over the information i provided in my complaint? Everything in my complaint was true, concise and to the point. I am now very nervous about the situation.
Anyone can be sued for anything, for the cost of a filing fee. The question is whether a suit can be won. The type of claim that might be brought against you is for libel (written falsities) or slander (spoken falsities) that damaged the subject's reputation. If, as you have noted, spoke the...

sc rules state that ebikes can go on paths, but our paths are for residents getting exercise who are generally 60+, children on bikes, residents with pets, casual bicylers, etc . we want to restrict bikes to the street and not the paths. can you help?
You might not even need a lawyer. You could contact your local officials in the city council or town board and discuss your concerns with them. Good luck
