Impoundment

I have a Cane Corso. My adult son had company over, and the couple brought their 2‑year‑old child. They left her unattended, even though they know she tends to wander and likes to open doors. My dog was outside in the yard for just a few minutes. She managed to open the door to the yard and tried to feed him some dry cereal she had in a bowl. He jumped on her, likely out of excitement for the food, and when the parents ran over and created more excitement trying to grab her, he bit her. Animal control confiscated him, and now they’re telling me that after his 10‑day hold, I have no choice but to have him neutered before they return him home. I’m a veteran and planned to register him as an intact service dog. Is there any way to avoid having him neutered, or is it impossible because a bite occurred? He’s not an aggressive animal — she plays with him every time she visits.

Where can I find a pro bono lawyer to help me retrieve my dogs when they were taken September 2024, and I couldn't figure out what wrong animal control did until April 21st 2025. I need a lawyer to help me with this what are my options?

The dog pound neutered my dog after he was claimed & we had to pay to get him back. This dog pound is familiar with my dog & we can’t breed him any more with our female.

I need an animal rights lawyer. My cats got lost and were at the animal shelter. They're emotional support animals and I looked everywhere for them for months.

Maintenance came in my daughter's house unannounced, she was not home, and her small dog was out and bit him. He called animal control, and they took her dog. Is this legal?

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?

My neighbors called Animal Control because one of my dogs was barking a lot. Is it legal for maintenance to let Animal Control into my apartment without contacting me? And can Animal Control take my dogs without a warrant and without contacting me to talk to me about these alleged accusations? My neighbors called and also told Animal Control I was gone for weeks and no one came to care for my dogs which is not true. Is that a reason for Animal Control to be able to be let into my apartment by maintenance without a warrant?
