Negligence

What can I do if a Pit Bull kills or bites another little puppy in our neighborhood? No one seems to do anything about it, but it's a danger to our community.

My sister-in-law happened to find a cat that was in need of help and brought him to an animal shelter. The animal shelter told her that they were full and wanted to make her into a foster, but she didn't want to become a fostering agent with them and refused. The shelter is now blasting her and her 13 year old daughter on social media for inquiring for help and refusing to become one of their fosters. Is there a tax advantage or legal reason the animal shelter would attempt to force her into becoming a foster agent? What kind of authority besides the state police (we've already reported for defamation and harassment) for animal rescues can we provide this information to, to help prevent this happening from other people?

My dog ran out of the house and attacked another dog that was walking down the road. The other dog was not on a leash and ran from it's owner. Can I be held liable?

My wife was walking our mini dachshund in our neighborhood and was on a leash. While walking past a house, the front door was opened and this pit bull mix instantly went to our dog and viciously attacked and killed our dog. Was told by neighbors they had talks with the owner of this dog telling him they feared this dog due to its aggressive nature. Owner brushed them off. Looking for answers to my situation and what lawyer can help me out. Have been told to deal with it in small claims.

1. Dog was first time customer for grooming at dog spa, a 6 1/2 year incident free thriving business in Miami Dade Florida. 2. Dog was stray adopted by owner 3 weeks prior to dog grooming appointment. 3. Groomer asked if dog had special needs. Owner responded skiddish, but nothing about jumping. 4. Dog kept in waiting area with other dogs. 5. Dog ran into fenced property and jumped over 6' fence surrounding dog spa property. Dog then ran and jumped over 5.5' fence surrounding vet clinic outside the 6' fenced property. Dog ran into street and was hit by car and injured. 6. Groomer immediately brought dog to vet where it was treated for injuries. Groomer paid. 7. Dog owner is claiming groomer was negligent. 8. Attorney sent letter to groomer for all future and past injuries for dog.

I only do kitty sitting. Can I be sued by a client if their cat becomes ill, injured or dies while I am kitty sitting? I live in the state of Florida.

I was pet sitting this weekend and the cat may have eaten the dog's medication that I briefly left on the counter. It is also possible that the dog ate it. It was 75mg Carprofen. The owner said to not take the cat to the vet, so I gave her 3% hydrogen peroxide to induce vomiting. When the cat did not vomit, I took her to the vet. The cat was forced to vomit and had elevated kidney levels. Now the owner wants me to pay ongoing medical bills for a 16-year-old cat. I feel horrible for the cat, but future medical bills can run into the hundreds of thousands of dollars. Am I liable for all bills? They could admit the cat to the vet for months at $2,000 a night. What do I do?

I have lost my dog due to the negligence of a dog groomer. Groomer stated my dog collapsed while being dried. The incident based on court records occurred at 11:30am. I was not notified until 12:30pm and demanded that the groomer take my dog to a vet 3 minutes away from her store. When I arrived to inquire about what happened I saw that the groomer did not take my pet anywhere. I picked him up off the floor and raced to the nearby vet…the Vet detected a pulse and tried to save him…but she couldn’t. My question is, does the Groomer owe me a duty of care for my pet? I don’t know if it makes a difference, but she is an LLC. Thank you.

What should I do? I live in a rented townhome. The fence is very dilapidated and allows my dog to get out. Property management is aware and hasn't fixed the problem so my dog can get next door. I've gotten to know my neighbor and when my dog would get through the fence, she would allow him into her home with her 4 other dogs. At least one of Wernick has attacked her friend's dog. I did not know that that had happened. Not until my dog was attacked in her home while I was at work. I received a text that my dog was in a fight with her dog and to come home. I saw the text an hour later and came home immediately. He was seriously injured, and we both went to the vet with him. After learning I couldn't afford surgery, she covered that bill after I paid 430 dollars. When he was released, she offered her vet for after care. He needed another surgery and ultimately died. She's not paying for it, and I can't get his ashes till it's paid. Her friend told me about the previous attack after the event. How do I get help to pay for treatment? Also how do I get the proper attention to her vicious dogs?
