I work with a small rescue. We have an adopter who after the adoption discovered the dog was pregnant. The adoption agreement does not deal with this issue. Now the puppies are 7 weeks old, and the adopter is claiming they are her dogs. Legally who owns the dogs?
I'm a live-in caregiver for my ex-wife and we're living in a government subsidized apartment. We're both elderly and both have emotional support cats with papers from our doctors. The landlord just told me after living here a year with an ESA that I have to get rid of mine. Is this true?
Our backyard is fully fenced, but one side was put up by the neighbor instead of us. That side is falling apart with several broken boards. My dog was playing in the backyard, jumped up at a bird, and landed on a broken part of fence with an exposed metal bracket. The bracket ripped through skin and muscle, and left a large laceration on my dog’s chest, which required an emergency vet visit and stitches. Do we have any legal standing for recovering vet costs from the neighbor? Or for having them replace/repair the fence?
Animal control claims that they have the right to fix my dog because they got loose, went across the street and laid down in my neighbor's yard. Animal control said they have the right to fix my dog, before the 72-hour deadline Please let me know what I can do.

My 1.5-pound Yorkie was killed by my neighbor’s Cane Corso. The dog snatched him off my porch while it was with its owner and was not on a leash. I want to know if I can file charges against the owner and sue for what happened.
I left an abusive situation where my girlfriend was rageful to me and told me to leave her house. I was staying with her, although I also had my apartment that I was paying rent for. We had bought a dog together, but she is on the papers for registration. After she kicked me out, now she is saying that I owe half of the vet bills going forward and half of caring for the dog going forward. Is this true? I am unable to take the dog so she will need to take the dog, rehome it or sell it. She is basically using this to try to keep in contact with me. I do not want to have any further contact with her? What do I need to do?
I brought my sick dog to the vet on Saturday. Different treatment options were discussed, including hospitalization, IV therapy, and testing. I made it clear that I wanted my dog to be saved and told the vet to do whatever it took. The vet explained that treatment could cost thousands of dollars, but I agreed to move forward. We also briefly discussed euthanasia, but I did not want my dog euthanized. There were financial options available, including insurance that I had recently obtained, although I later had to cancel it because of this unexpected situation. We agreed that the vet would perform tests and eventually hospitalize my dog. However, when I was later called into the room, I discovered that they had euthanized my dog without my approval...
I need assistance getting my dog back from a rescue organization that placed her into foster care. My dog was originally a stray that I took in and cared for. While I was unexpectedly delayed and stuck out of town trying to return to retrieve my dog and my belongings, someone took my dog without my permission and surrendered her to an animal shelter. He had many opportunities and ways to contact me and let me know what he planned to do, but he never informed me. When I finally demanded that he tell me where he had taken my dog, he refused for several weeks and even months before finally admitting where she had been surrendered...
If a groomer gets angry with you and purposely cuts your dog’s hair differently than instructed, and also shaves parts of the dog’s neck down to the pink skin, can I sue? If so, how much could I sue for? Since the grooming incident, my dog has been staying close to me all day, every day.
