Lease states you’re responsible for any damage they do and specifically list blinds(indoor item). My landlord will not allow my dog inside and forces me to keep her out side in extreme heat and she can only be inside if it’s below freezing. Is there not a law against leaving dogs outside when...

Generally, no, most states don’t have laws about keeping dogs inside Unless the temperatures are extreme because dogs are property in most states. And because you signed a lease, you’re kind of stuck with the terms. Can you give your dog to a friend or family member during the day so he/she can... View More
I couldn’t because I was only partial owner and I would have to give him back. I request only 2500 of my money back they agreed to give it back after I give them the dog back. Now I can’t get in touch. I had the dog for 5 day 3 of which I stayed in Georgia with him

I’m not sure I understand the question. If you have to give the dog back to the breeders, then you should do it so that way he can be rehomed safely to someone who can actually care for and about him.
Our home was broken into and our dog was stolen we now have found him and the person that has him is requiring we pay 1000$ to give him back to us. Isn't this against the law. She has already admitted that he is ours and that the person we suspected that broke into our home did bring her the dog.

I’m not aware of how asking for a reward for a dog is illegal, necessarily. But if you suspect this person had to do with your dog being stolen then you should call the police to get your dog back.
I have a temporary neighbor, or at least I believe she's just moved in with her family that lives half of a mile down our dirt road due to COVID-19. Anyway, she walks everyday and has called authorities about my dogs. The thing is, they walk to a light pole in front of our property and our... View More

You can’t really stop someone from calling the police. If the police haven’t done anything and haven’t issued you a ticket or summons, then you might just have to deal with it until she gets tired of calling with no results. If you have been issued a ticket or a summons, then you’ll want to... View More
No lawns or sidewalks are involved. Lady was stalking and filming my daughter telling her she was committing criminal trespass.

It depends on your city/municipality and/or county ordinances. It may be best to check with your city or county ordinances to determine what is permitted.
Criminal trespass occurs when someone “intentionally damages any property of another without the consent of that other person.”... View More

It does not appear that you have any legal or equitable interest in the property. You did not mention taxes being paid by you or any type of deed conveyance. In fact it looks like you do not even have possession which a new owner would have to evict you from. Adverse Possession cannot be filed... View More

More information is needed to provide you with an accurate answer. Do you have a contract with the owners of the goats? Do you have a business boarding animals? You do have other options, you can sue your friends for the care/feeding of the animals.

My dog had a tooth extraction and the veterinary's lack of attention caused a second degree burn.
answered on Nov 28, 2019
This is an unfortunate circumstance. This is a civil matter and you would sue the veterinarian in court. It is best to contact an attorney as soon as possible, preserve evidence (records, pictures, etc.) and any additional vet bills you acquired after trying to help your dog.

You should contact the police. They will/should launch an investigation. Hopefully you have proof of the crime. It’s best to do it sooner rather than later because statute of limitations may be a factor.
I wish you well.

Not many facts to work on here, also question was posted in Animal/Dog Law. But a warrant is usually something issued by a court for the arrest of another person. So I don't see how you would take out a warrant. Perhaps you meant to file a complaint against somebody?
This lady and her family bring her dogs to my home to do their business specifically in my yard even after I've asked them to stop.
answered on Jul 8, 2019
You can bring a civil action against her for nuisance and trespass.
If you haven't already done so, send a cease and desist letter or hire an attorney to do it. You can use that letter in court if she continues her behavior.
Dog was fine and animal control let us leave with the dog.

Any penalty imposed would be limited in time to the maximum time allowed under the law which for ordinances may be 60 days or 6 months. But you would need to check the city or county ordinance where you live.
