Can a shelter sell my dog without contacting me first?
My dog ended up at a shelter, they sold it after checking for a microchip and didn't call me
My dogs were wrongfully taken.
What kind of papers do I need to file to get my dogs back from animal control?
Dog impounded under false pretenses.
Animal Control has my dog under false pretenses, but they are neglecting him. Can I take my dog out of the shelter, or will I get arrested?
Animal control took my cats and won’t return them.
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 💔
SPCA is making my neighbor get her dog fixed.
My neighbor’s dog got out when they weren’t home on 4th of July. She was found it seems in someone’s yard just up the street. They posted the dog through the Neighborhood app. My neighbor got home the next day, found the posting, but the dog had already been taken to the pound. My neighbor's son went to get the dog, they are saying the dog needs to be spayed as she was roaming at large. The dog was clearly not aggressive as the neighbor had her on a leash and called her puppers! Is this legal? They’ve kept the dog over the weekend, and I imagine intend to spay her Monday as they said the owners can come get her Tuesday. Is this legal? They don’t want to spay her.
Question about pound fees.
Can animal control make you pay a fee to have your ESA registered dog returned to you?
Lost dog given up for adoption without notice.
Hello, My neighbors have been harassing my dog and I and one day took her off her chain outside and took her to the shelter. I called around and found her same day but was surprised to find it was going to cost me over $100 to have her returned. I'm recently unemployed and did not have the money on hand so had to wait until my dad had money in his account to give me money to have her returned. I was not aware that there is only a 3 day hold until she was already adopted! About a week later when I had the money to pick her up, the shelter told me she was put up for adoption and I immediately drove to the SPCA who told me she was adopted! I asked for the people's contact information so I could try to explain the situation to them and buy her back, hoping they would have the kindness in their hearts to agree to do so. But the SPCA refused. For some background information, I have severe PTSD and depression and have notes from my psychiatrist and general doctor that she is my service dog. I also paid $2,000 for her and my children are absolutely heartbroken as am I. Is there anything that can be done?? Please help!!
How can I get service dog out of the pound?
I was arrested for a traffic violation that was not my fault. My service dog was taken to the Animal Control. They are requiring that she be spayed before release and charging me over $400. She went in Friday night and I was released Monday morning, but they were closed Monday and Tuesday. She has saved my life more than once. I do not have that much money and it adds up every day. What can I do? I do not want her sterilized and I need her with me as soon as possible. What can I do?
My dog is being held for falsely being accused of biting someone.
My dog is being kept by Animal Control for falsely being accused of biting someone. Hearing has been completed and past the 7 days as stated by the hearing for the results. Ten days and no results, and they still have my dog in isolated confinement. No walks, visitors, we can drop off treats & a toy, which we did, but we get no status on how our dog is. Seems to be animal cruelty the way they are treating my dog with being falsely accused. We have done all that we were asked to do on the list to return our dog back to us, but they are still holding on to him.
How can I get my dog back?
My dog escaped the house with a bad skin condition and ended up at the shelter before I returned home. The shelter deemed her skin as neglect and threatened to take my other animals (1 dog 1 cat) if we tried to sign her out, so my boyfriend (legal owner) signed her away to them. But I've personally had this dog for 12 years and knows only us as a family. I have the vet I've used for 12 years as well on my side, but he legally can't do anything and told me to contact a lawyer. I've asked the shelter nicely to get her back any way I can but they won't give me a straight answer.
