Pet cremation mistake.
Our vet just let us know that the funeral home to which our dog was sent to get cremated at made a mistake and instead of doing a private cremation they did a group cremation. What can I do in the circumstance?
My neighbor is mistreating their animals.
My neighbor has two dogs and one cat. The dogs have obviously been outside for a long time. They have bruises, signs of abuse, and are extremely dirty. The cat was too shy to get a good look at it. Do I have the legal right to take the dogs (who are friendly; both let me touch them), feed them and patch them up, then send them to a shelter? Maybe I will keep them?
Reclaiming lost service animals.
My cat service animals for my mental state got out of my cousin's apartment, and they were gone for a while. They came back. The neighbor picked them up called animal control. I was in Portland for two months and I didn’t know what happened until I got home a week later that’s when I found out. I called five animal shelters where they were, this was three months later because I was looking for the one shelter that adopted them out. I want to reclaim them paperwork on them that I’m the owner service animal, veterinarian papers, and psychiatrist papers, and primary care papers. They are trained cats and if for my emotional support for my neuropathy. I’m desperate to get them back.
Dog passed on to me by friend wanted by next of kin.
My friend passed while her daughter was in jail. Her dog was given to me by police, now a month later the daughter wants the dog. I have licensed her into my name already and microchip. Do I need to return the dog? Her mother didn’t want her to have the dog, but I have nothing in writing but witness to the conversation.
Can I get my cat back if someone fosters them for a while?
If I were to temporarily have my cat given to a foster family until I get a big enough place for me my son and my husband, will I be able to get him back?
Adoption refused due to same sex dog at home not being spayed.
Help! My mother, who is a senior wanted to adopt a senior female dog (7yrs old) Chihuahua mix from a local shelter. Recently, one of her dogs passed away, and the other dog left behind is showing signs of grief from the loss of her playmate/sister. Not to mention my mother for losing her dog. The shelter refused her application for the adoption of the senior dog because the dog she has at home (which is a female, same sex), was not spayed. There is absolutely no chance of the two dogs breeding. Why would the shelter deny the senior dog (sitting in a crate for the past 3 months) of the chance to live out its life within a loving home? Does a dog have any rights? Shouldn’t an adoption be on a case-by-case basis? Seems cruel to me. The woman I spoke to at the shelter said, “it’s their policy”. Meanwhile they have every cage full.
Someone else neutered and declawed my cat.
My cats got out and we’ve put posts and flyers up everywhere to find them. Supposedly someone found one of my cats, declawed and neutered them. Now you can’t just take someone’s cat and do that having a feeling that the owners are currently searching for them. So, my question is if can I take the person who neutered and declawed them to court and sue?
Animal control welfare check on dogs.
Can animal control come to my home and do a welfare check on my dogs if I'm not present?
Will my dog be neutered?
Animal control picked up my dog that got out today due to strong winds blowing open the gate. Are they going to neuter him without my permission?
Rehoming an aggressive adopted dog.
Our daughter adopted a dog from a pet rescue, and it's not working out. The puppy is too aggressive to be around her 3 younger children - he has already bitten 2 of them in the face. When she adopted him, she was told his parents were golden retriever and Australian Shepard with one of them being a service dog. Since he was being so aggressive, she had a DNA test done by Embark and it came back 45% Pit Bull, 26% German Shepard, and various other breeds. She regrets signing the adoption agreement saying she could only return the dog to them if it didn't work out and that they will always own the dog. That's so ridiculous. I know rescues are trying to protect dogs, but when you adopt a dog, it should be yours and you should be able to give it away to where you choose if need be. She would rather give it to a Pit Bull Rescue or some other rescue. The place she adopted him from is fraudulent - they deceived her about the breed, they won't respond to her communications, the health report they gave her is bogus, the pickup procedure was questionable, the puppy isn't the picture of the one she asked to adopt, etc... This non-profit should be put out of business. They finally responded when our daughter contacted another rescue, and that rescue called the rescue she got the puppy from. They said to our daughter they will take him back but have to find a foster for him - that could take forever - I can see that coming. My question is, is she obligated to return the dog to this fraudulent rescue she got him from, or due to the circumstances can she give him to someone else without legal consequences?
