Question

I recently adopted out a dog to a man who gave me a great story and I foolishly believed him. Long story short the rehoming fee was $180 and they signed a contract saying they would pay it today. They have blocked my calls. I know because I've called from another number. Is there anyway to recoup my money?

Answer

People who believe they are due money can sue. Small Claims Court is a user friendly and inexpensive venue to try to resolve small monetary disputes.
