Adoption
I found a stray dog and took it to the pound. They told me that after a week, it will be put up for adoption. Can I legally adopt it after that week, even if I'm the one who turned it in?
AKC papers
I bought a purebred Toy Australian Shepherd 8 months ago. The breeder told us the dog was papered and sold him to us at a papered price. She also took our address and said that the papers would be mailed to us. After months of not receiving them, I contacted her to find out the issue. She agreed to mail them again, but after more months, we still have not received them. So, I contacted her again to meet in person, which she has not responded to. What can I do since I paid the price of a papered dog?
Dog adoption from rescue out of state.
I got approved to adopt a dog from a rescue, signed the papers, and did everything required. I was told that the dog would be here on April 22nd. I had been in a wheelchair for a year, but now I am doing better and using a walker. However, they never asked how I'm doing now; instead, they asked what put me in a wheelchair. To my surprise, I saw my dog up for adoption. They kept my money and claimed that the dog is not safe with me in a wheelchair. I called them, but they won't respond. This feels like discrimination. All I want is my dog; we signed paperwork finalizing the adoption. My husband is here 24/7 to help with taking care of the dog. What can I do to get my dog back?
Rescue group said my dog was spayed but now she is pregnant.
I adopted a Collie in August of this year from a rescue group and they told she had been spayed. She is 8 years old and very pregnant! Do they have to pay for all this expense and spay.
Adopted dog who ran away.
We are a rescue group who adopted a dog out to people who informed us less than 24 hours later that the dog escaped their fence. They have now stopped payment on their check saying they don't feel that they shouldn't have to pay for said dog. We have a signed adoption contract from them. Is this legal?
Shelter said the dog we adopted was a different breed.
We adopted a dog from a non-profit. It’s not even close to the breed they told us. We have spent thousands on training because we have a 3 year old in the house. Turns out the dog is mostly a Pitt Bull after doing a DNA test.
Spaying my dog.
Do I have to get my dog fixed? Is it a law? What if I don’t want to?
Re-adopt a pet that was returned to the animal shelter.
Is it possible to re-adopt a cat?
My adopted pet almost died.
My niece adopted a puppy from a foster organization. It seemed unwell from day 1, by day 5 he had stopped eating and had diarrhea. They took him to a vet who had to do emergency surgery at a cost of $2,900. He had a dog toy in his stomach which the vet thinks was inside him when they bought him. Does anyone bear any responsibility for this huge vet bill?
Not neutered, have texts and paperwork saying he was.
I adopted a kitten from a very negligent shelter several months ago. I was promised multiple times that when they did the double enucleation that he was neutered. I have texts from the person who assisted with surgery that says he was neutered, he IS NOT neutered. What can I do?
