I pass by this dog everyday and it’s constantly about to be hit on the highway. The people who used to live there (they no longer do as far as I know) always had new dogs that repeatedly got hit. 2/3 dogs were hit and the 3rd is an older dog. She knows to stay out of the road and is always... View More

If the dog doesn't have a tag or other indicator that it belongs to someone, you are safe in assuming it is a stray and keep it. Similarly, if someone observes an animal being abused, neglected or being subjected to circumstances that cause you to fear for its safety, Louisiana has a law in... View More

By all means pick it up and save its life! You don't need the guidance of an attorney here. Unless you risked causing a five-car pile-up on a freeway, I don't think a traffic safety officer would cite you for a violation. Technically it would be a traffic violation to do something like... View More

I sit by parking lot curb at local tractor supply, facing the highway, and many people tell me it's illegal but non can tell me the law about it.

Every town/city may have different laws regarding this. I would recommend contacting the local police to see if there are any licensing requirements or limitations you should know about.
Recently the landlord and I finally came to an agreement over damages her neglect caused my property. The next day she began demanding my dog be put on a leash. My service dog had not been leashed in almost a year, since she had become a service dog.
answered on Apr 11, 2023
Your service dog cannot be required to be on a leash in two instances: 1) your disability prevents you from using a leash, and 2) the service your dog performs for you as a result of your disability cannot be performed if the dog is on a leash.
How would I approach this? Husky dog ran up into our yard on our porch attacked my mother service dog, who is a chiweenie on our porch.

Arrested for aggravated felony Cruelty to Animals. Paper shows court date is 8:30 am Tuesday, 5/31/22
answered on May 30, 2022
The courthouse is closed today (Memorial Day) is closed so I suggest that you simply show up at the district courthouse in the jurisdiction you were arrested Tuesday at 8:30 a.m. You do not want to miss your court date as that would result in a bench warrant being issued. Since you have a felony... View More

This is just for future knowledge so I can avoid any problems. I just want to know if someone can still break into my car even if I take precautions to make my dog as comfortable as possible.

To leave your dog in the car risks you losing your dog, damage to your car and a fine.
answered on Jan 15, 2022
Your dog can run free only if you have a fenced yard. Otherwise he needs to be walked on a leash.
His health has improved dramatically since I've cared for him.
answered on Dec 31, 2021
Do you have proof that you have 1) licensed, 2) vaccinated, 3) neutered, or 4) gotten the dog medical care?

Actually had EXACTLY that experience with a collie puppy about 10 years ago. I made a complaint to AKC, the Vet she used for vaccinations, Louisiana Dept of Ag and a civil suit with the Justice of the Peace in the breeders parish.
I am the true owner, I am registered in his AKC registration, all vet bills, payments, etc. He means the world to me.

Hahaha no. They can't sue you for dog statutory rape either. But they can get your dog picked up for not being on a leash or behind a fence.
