Hi, I was wondering if a tenant supposedly has an emotional support dog but is hardly ever home with it. The dog has nowhere to run around and lives in a small apartment. The dog causes property damage because he is anxious and neglected. Can the landlord make them remove the dog?
Can I be denied my emotional support animal and be kicked out of government housing because my dogs are not up to date on vaccinations, even though I am working with a vet to get them done? I asked for a reasonable accommodation, but it was denied. The housing manager said that city ordinances state it is the owner’s responsibility to have the vaccinations completed, which I understand and am currently working on with my vet. She only stated that it is against the law to not have them vaccinated. Previously, I went to court because my dogs were loose and received a ticket for dog at large/animal at large. However, they never cited me or did anything regarding the vaccinations at that time. Can they deny my reasonable accommodation request to give me time to get the vaccinations done before they evict me or remove me from housing?
Rehomed a dog to someone. He payed me money for him and got vet records in his name, but wants to make me take him back. I don't want to; do I have to legally take him back?
She is being evicted from my sister's 500 square foot apt for various reasons but also brought in 8 cats. My sister understands crowded conditions do not equal abuse, as she has an animal rescue and boarding background, but she says conditions are poor. They are moving out into an even smaller studio apt and planning on bringing now 11 cats. Her son, my sister's husband, plans to build a large catio for the cats but this was my sister's idea. The hoarder thinks she is doing nothing wrong, and it is likely she will just bring in more cats. Maybe other people have hoarders in their family would be interested in your answer as well.
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?
I know there are ways to get an emotional support animal certificate to help with housing. I've also heard there are many scams out there. Can you recommend a particular organizational that is trustworthy to apply for and receive an emotional support dog certificate?
Me and my ex got a dog 3 years ago after we lost a child. It was the family dogs, but we separated 2 years ago. The original agreement was that Monday through Friday she would drop her off before work and pick her up after. Because I was down and out after the break financially… I don’t have a home to sleep in at night, but I don’t have her at night though. We just hang out during the day. Until last month when I kind of threatened her because she threw all the personal material possessions my grandmother given away to me. I said the last memory I have of my grandma was Nala making my grandma laugh. So, I’m keeping that memory and Nala for good and safe so she can’t take it away. And since then, she has withheld me from seeing her. I go to her mother's house and try to see her. They hold the dog back, shush her from barking, etc.… Can I call the cops and be in the right and still get to see my best friend if I am financially unstable and what not? Because there is no lack of love, and she eats well every time she is with me. I take credit for her obedience given that she will listen to me over any of the family member. I’m not asking for full custody because I understand she is the family dog, but she is my best friend. Please help.
I called Animal control because I'm disabled and couldn't get my pets to the vet. The building I live in wouldn't spray for a major flee swarm and my kitties were being eaten alive. Now they say I can't have them back. Please let me know how I can get them back. They are my service cats in training. But more so I miss them so much. I'm so broken 💔
I recently went on a trip and left my ESA with a boarding facility. A day below coming home they asked me to call and told me my dog got out through a hole in their fence. She claims to have helped, made reports to animal control, and spoke to ask the neighbors in the area. After I called animal control for any updates they said they have no information of the trainer or the situation with my dog. I also passed out fliers to every neighbor and they ask claim to not know him or about the situation. She has refused to help financially after we were serviced by a K9 search team and is not taking any accountability or providing any compensation. Do I possibly have a case to recover the finances I spent to find my ESA. I am currently trying to recover help from an attorney but have not gotten any response yet.
So me and my girlfriend asked a friend of ours to watch our cat while we stayed at my mom’s. Recently we told her that we are getting our own place and we would be able to get her on the first of the month. A week ago she stated that her other cat is getting fixed and that we would need to come get her sooner. We asked if she can wait until the first because we didn’t have anywhere to take the cat to and was threatened to have our cat taken to an animal shelter. What could we do about a situation like this?
