First, go to the shelter and make absolutely sure it is your dog. If so, take all the paperwork of proof of ownership to the shelter and show them. Pay any fees associated with her board while she’s been gone. If they won’t give you the dog, hire a lawyer and file suit.
I have proof between messages with the owner and pictures of their dogs from phone pictures to my doorbell camera, as well as messages contacting the dog warden and local police. There is a criminal summons out for my neighbor and the cops said they cannot serve the warrant to her because of those... View More

If they are dangerous or aggressive and they come on your property, the law permits you to shoot them. As for the carter County leash laws, you can find them at your library, animal control or possibly online.

There is a criminal charge for cruelty to animals and you could talk to local law-enforcement about potential charges. I’ve never heard of that being charged when the attempt was unsuccessful but it is possible if you have a good proof. As far as a civil lawsuit you would have to consult a civil... View More

Each county has certain leash laws and animal control regulations a citizen must follow. Most times the dogs are required to be secured as well as hamming food water and shelter. As long as you meet these basic requirements, you should not have any problem.

No. They are not yours. Leash law has nothing to do with it.
My dog went missing and three days ago I found out my neighbor has my dog. I have videos and pictures to prove it belongs to me. Can I get my dog back by showing them this.
A Neighbor down and across the street had a broken invisible fence and knew it was broken.

Was unsuccessful in this attempt, if the owners showed up in July, after we have about $1000 in the dog, what are the chances that we will lose the case in court of keeping her? She is microchipped and has her up to date rabies

Your chances of winning are pretty good, all things considered. Abandoned and unchipped all play out for you.
The dog catcher in my county says the shelter is at max capacity & he can't come and get it until the shelter has space, I don't have a lot of time to wait for this issue to be resolved, this stray is upsetting my own dogs.

If the fog is not chipped snd no owner comes forward, you can give the dog to whomever you choose.

You can kill it if you catch it trespassing on your property.
The dog is in my name and was expensive and has been registered as a service dog. Would she be considered an asset that the individual suing me could claim?

You have certain exemptions you can claim to protect your property, including a dog.
