despite no charges ever being filed, can I still sue if an individual filed a false statement with police in an effort to have me arrested?

You need to hire a competent CA attorney. Otherwise you will lose possession.
There is likely you have no recourse for being fired for no reason.

Quite recently I became aware of my estranged husband using my POA without my knowledge. He opened CC accounts and got my daughter 30K+ in student loans. I have no proof she was aware of its origins, but I believe she knew something because she halted all communication with me at the same time this... Read more »

He would continue to... Read more »

In most locales, no, but check with the local animal officer who enforces animal protection codes. Assuming you aren't breeding. Or call your local Animal shelter or your vet.
I am sorry you have had to deal with this. Unfortunately, your post does not clearly tell us whether this is an employee of a company you were a customer of, or if this was a co-worker. The answer would be slightly different for each.
