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?

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?

My ex is keeping my dog from me.
I have a warrant against my ex-boyfriend in a domestic case. He took the dog that is registered to me. I’m legally trying to get her back. Police are saying it’s a civil matter. I have her registration in my name, her adoption papers, and proof of payment for paying for the dog.
My roommate gave me full ownership of a dog we both initially owned.
My former roommate and I both shared custody of our dog however, he was abusive to the dog, and the dog was scared to death of him and so he verbally told me that the dog was now mine. I moved out and he is mad at me and so he is now trying to claim that I took his dog and his threatening to file a police report. What should I do?
Roommate leaves poisonous substances on the kitchen floor for my cat to eat.
My roommate (who is my landlord) leaves chocolate, grapes, pills, broken glass, and even a tack and razor blade on the kitchen floor, despite six different conversations over seven months explaining the danger and asking her to stop. She always "forgets." Because of this, I have kept my cat inside with me at all times (I work from home), except when the roommate leaves. Then I sweep the kitchen to check for poisonous substances before I let my cat out. My usually happy, carefree cat is feeling the stress of being limited to one room for most of the time and has developed stress-reduced dermatitis (according to the vet) and is now excessively grooming. What can I do? I even sent a letter to her documenting the unsafe living conditions, but her behavior does not change.
