The dogs just roam freely and yes they have been in my yard. I have observed them pooping in my yard and didn't get it until I asked them to. But.They took their time.

Next time they are loose, call Animal Control. I would keep the child inside unless you are outside with him until the dog situation is resolved.
Owner was evicted from apartment and homeless, we were asked to keep the dog temporarily. We are the best home for the dog as current owner is unstable and cannot provide for the dog.

You cannot assume ownership from him unless he signs over or gives the dog to you. Regardless of who may be able to provide the best home, the homeless man still owns the dog.

There are no lemon laws in Kentucky regarding animals. Basic contract law controls. 2. Kentucky should have jurisdiction since you are here and the dogs are here. You can easily eliminate problem 2 by including in your sales contract that all disputes will be handled and resolved under Kentucky... View More
If she has a warrant, who do I call to get justice for my dog? Thank you
answered on Jul 21, 2018
If they were prosecuting owner in a criminal case and they didn’t show, then yes, there probably is a warrant. If it is a civil case, you should have gotten a judgment. You should hire a civil lawyer to sue the owner of the pit bulls.
answered on Jul 18, 2018
No, but you may run into problems of proving what happened. File a police report for starters. If you have collision let your company cover it and go after the dog owner.

Not unless your dogs are violating the law. Keep him away from them nd you should be fine.
I have told her several times the dog isn’t welcome in my house but she continues to bring it with her anytime she is here. I want to know what, if anything, can legally be done to put a stop to this

You can go to the County Attorney's office and take a criminal complaint from Criminal Trespass onto your property.

You should consider suing the owner as the pet clearly wasn’t fit for I’m the implied purpose which they held him out to be. You can likely recover in small claims court.

Depends on how the local ordinance in your town is written and construed.

Very sorry for your loss. Whether you can recover from breeder depends on contract you signed with them. The contract will dictate what your rights are vs the breeder.

If the animal is running free on your land and you can’t trap it and turn it over to animal control, it may be permissible to shoot the dog if it is damaging your property, although I’d want conclusive proof of the damage first so as to avoid being sued for wrongfully killing the animal.
