Dog locks down on little puppies.
What can I do if a Pit Bull kills or bites another little puppy in our neighborhood? No one seems to do anything about it, but it's a danger to our community.
Two Dogs Wrongfully Taken
Where can I find a pro bono lawyer to help me retrieve my dogs when they were taken September 2024, and I couldn't figure out what wrong animal control did until April 21st 2025. I need a lawyer to help me with this what are my options?
Forced Foster Application
My sister-in-law happened to find a cat that was in need of help and brought him to an animal shelter. The animal shelter told her that they were full and wanted to make her into a foster, but she didn't want to become a fostering agent with them and refused. The shelter is now blasting her and her 13 year old daughter on social media for inquiring for help and refusing to become one of their fosters. Is there a tax advantage or legal reason the animal shelter would attempt to force her into becoming a foster agent? What kind of authority besides the state police (we've already reported for defamation and harassment) for animal rescues can we provide this information to, to help prevent this happening from other people?
How do I put homeless man’s dog in my name?
My daughter‘s friend asked if we would take care of his Dalmation for a week or two but now it’s over three months. With paid for vet bills for shots and ear infections and a UTI, but they were through Banfield Hospital at PetSmart and we did it under his name. We have not heard from him in over a month and we are very attached to the Dalmation. What do we have to do to make this dog ours?
Do we have any legal standing to get fostered cats back?
I am part of a 501 c3 that placed a nursing mom and 5 kittens into foster in Fairfax county Virginia. Unfortunately we didn’t have a foster agreement signed; she completed a foster interview, have numerous text messages going back and forth, and was regularly reimbursed for food. She even applied to adopt one of the kittens. Now she is refusing to return any of the cats and kittens. Do you know if we have any legal standing?
My dog escaped and attacked another dog.
My dog ran out of the house and attacked another dog that was walking down the road. The other dog was not on a leash and ran from it's owner. Can I be held liable?
Can I take legal action to get my kitten back?
I had a girl come into my home and agree to foster my kitten. She signed a document I had typed out that she would return the kitten immediately upon request of the owner (me). She has now refused to return my kitten to me and has blocked my number. Can I file a police report? Will they do anything to help me?
My dog was killed by another dog in the neighborhood.
My wife was walking our mini dachshund in our neighborhood and was on a leash. While walking past a house, the front door was opened and this pit bull mix instantly went to our dog and viciously attacked and killed our dog. Was told by neighbors they had talks with the owner of this dog telling him they feared this dog due to its aggressive nature. Owner brushed them off. Looking for answers to my situation and what lawyer can help me out. Have been told to deal with it in small claims.
How can I get my cat back from my ex?
My ex and I adopted my sister's kitten. While I was attending my father's funeral, he put her under his last name in vet records. When we broke up, I let him keep her with the condition I want to see her. He allowed me to see her until he met someone. Now he won't let me see her or take her back. What can I do to have her back or visitation rights? He refused to bring her to me to see her. While he took care of her mostly, I was deployed for my job. Can he use this against me? I have receipts paying vet bills and ordering food through Amazon. He let me see her through a video call every night. I didn't think he would become evil and separate us. Last thing I asked him was to write a will so if something happens to him, she should be returned back to me. He doesn't agree to that.
Legal obscurity surrounding primary contact for microchip on adopted kitten.
I adopted a kitten from a rescue a few months ago. I signed a contact that stated the rescue must be the primary contact on the soon-to-be implanted microchip, and neutering was to be done there as well. Weeks later, I found online sources that stated, under new CA law, the owner must be the primary contact on the pet’s microchip. Perhaps the rescue does not know this, or does not want adopters to know. I want to be the primary on my pet’s chip, and also want to get him neutered somewhere else, sooner than the rescue recommends, in order to avoid spraying. Since this bill was signed into law, back in 2022 (bill AB2723), does the rescue have any legal ground to stand on? I’m afraid if I get him neutered there, they will also chip him at the same time.
