It depends on why the county took them away.
The rescue service is claiming that they are the legal owners of her puppies now that they are born and they plan to collect all of them and handle all adoptions including collecting fees. Our signed adoption contract states that she was pregnant at the time of adoption and does not mention the... Read more »
I would review the adoption contract to see if it says anything about the puppies. If the contract says nothing about the unborn puppies and returning them, then I see no reason you should return the puppies.
If you live in a Apartments Complex that’s gated. Is it a law that tents has to have insurance on they pit bulls in Louisiana. The landlord only make them pay him and when I question him he said oh no, Nobody can’t have pits over here but they over here they be running around at times. Also in... Read more »
Landlords can require pet insuranxe.
We had an agreement and I have retained screenshots of the agreement made threw text and the person had 3 puppies total. Agreement was I get a puppy or the price for what the puppy sells for. She refuses to give me a puppy and has sold 2 already and refuses to give me the money
You can potentially sue her for breaching that agreement. It won't be cut and dry because it doesn't sound like there's a signed contract, but there are some potential theories of recovery available to you under what you've described.
Can the police come with me and make her give him back to me or do I have to take her to court?
The police might, but oftentimes the police will say it's a civil matter and require you to sue your ex in civil court.
How can I get rid of the legaly?
You can evict your mother with the dogs or you can help her house train the dogs. Anything else is illegal.
You will need to get a breeder or licensed dog trainer as an expert and a lawyer to file for a stay
I have no affiliation w/ horse hauler. I have a gated entrance and fully fenced property.
Horse Hauler drove onto my property following the owner of the horse they were picking up. They picked up the horse and left without even speaking with me.
I called and asked her to pay for... Read more »
You can sue in Small Claims court and get a judgment of up to $10k if you prove your damages in that amount. Whether you can collect mostly depends on whether the hauler has insurance that applies.
He was arrested today and animal control took the dog because he lives by home self and nobody else was there to claim the pet. I called the pound and they are saying I need power of attorney to get the dog? Is this true?
It seems that the pound wouldn't actually know that the dog isn't yours unless you told them, but if that's what they say, the easiest way to do it would probably be to download a POA form, bring it to the jail, and have your son sign it.
When he was alive, he told me that he put his dog in his will and specifically told me that it was important (he was acting very cryptic and secretive about it). His estranged wife keeps asking me if I'm going to keep her. I told her yes, and that I suspected my friend (her estranged husband)... Read more »
If you are to receive his dog (which is deemed "property") then you are a beneficiary of the will. As such, you are entitled to see the Will unless the Will says otherwise (something like, no beneficiary is entitled to a copy of the will and will be subject to judicial review only).... Read more »
CA-Neighbors have puppies in cage all day/night. Left out in rain and heat. Contacted animal control, nothing followed. They are given water and food once a day for 6 left alone the rest of the day.
You have no legal rights to do anything. You can offer to buy them if Animal Control believes that the puppies are being given legally adequate care but you disagree. If the owner doesn't want to sell, then move on.
who took my dog and now the person doesn't want to give me my dog back
Call the police and report that this person is in receipt of stolen property. You can also sue in Small Claims for money and/or for an Order for return of your property. Your success will depend on whether your boyfriend was the owner of the dog or had authority to give it away.
The contract states that I am committed for a a “minimum of 2-3 weeks and if you fail to follow through that commitment you are responsible for paying boarding fees”. She is now telling me I have to keep the dog until she is adopted which could take months. The dog is incredibly destructive to... Read more »
More information is needed. You might call an attorney in your area for a review of the contract and perhaps an intervention, or alternative solution.
The contract we signed stated in the event of relinquishment, we are required to return the dog to the rescue. We contacted the rescue months ago. After many emails and calls, they finally sent us a relinquishment form. A month later, they are non-responsive. Our hands are tied because we signed... Read more »
They are most likely overwhelmed. But that does not excuse them from their contact. Keep trying. In the meantime, if you’re reasons for relinquishment are behavioral, consider hiring a trainer or see if there’s dog has underlying health issues like an undescended testicle or something otherwise...

There are leash laws, and laws requiring pet owners clean up after their dog. These are usually county or municipal infractions under local code. So, if you witness the incident and can identify the pet owner, you can report it to the police or local Animal Control. As far as trespassing, you... Read more »
i had never walk this dog before, I was hired through wag.
Contact Wag and see whether you are covered under its liability policy. If not, you might be covered under the dog owners policy.
Are you asking if you can poison a dog or shoot it for getting into your trash? I would say either would fall under animal cruelty laws. I would suggest you get a better trash receptical.
It required no stitches, but it was bad enough that I will have a permanent scar for the rest of my life. I went to the hospital, they cleaned it and gave me antibiotics. I had to revisit the ER a couple weeks later because it wasn’t getting any better, but eventually healed up after a long... Read more »

I live on a side road from the road KY 596 and the neighbors continually tease my dogs by riding a horse down the road or by driving a 4 wheeler and they only go as far as our property then turns around and comes back. Also my dogs run free into and out of my yard but they come to me when I yell... Read more »
Put your dogs up and eliminate the attraction for the neighbors. The other option is to move.
The dogs are aggressive and chase me and my dog who is on a leash beside me. I’m afraid to leave my apt. What do I do?
Yes. Service animals are required to be under the owner’s control at all times. So the dog cannot chase and attack you and be exempt from the law. Such behavior could fall under Colorado’s dangerous dog statute. If you are being chased or attacked by any dog, regardless of designation, you can... Read more »
