What can I do if the dog I watch is exposed to large amounts of meth and trembles when the owner comes to pick him up? It is proved that this individual has lied to their child and continues to engage in behaviors that expose and endanger the animal.
Someone broke into my RV and stole my cats. Does this make it more than a civil case?
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?
I work as a firefighter in the twin cities. Last Wednesday, we arrived to work in the morning and had a dog tied to a light pole outside the fire station. It was accompanied with some of her belongings and a note stating why she was left there. I took her home and the CSO working that day was aware. 5 days later, he said he contacted the previous owners, and they now want her back. They claim that a friend that was watching her did this and not them. Now they wish to have her back. Do we now have custody or is she still theirs?
A girl that I was friends with found six kittens behind a dumpster. Because I have an extra bedroom that is not being occupied, she asked me if I would take the kittens overnight. I agreed. Overnight turned into two nights and then 2 weeks and then 2 months and I have now had these kittens for almost 4 months. About 2 months into having these kittens my friend got a rescue group involved so the kittens could get vaccinated and spayed and neutered. I have never signed anything with this rescue group and now they are trying to take the kittens from me to adopt them out. I have become attached to the kittens since I've had them for 4 months and I am unwilling to give them up. They want to take legal action against me because I won't hand over the kittens. I just want to know what rights I have as someone who took these kittens in and now being threatened with legal action if I don't hand them over.
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.
We lost our Manx male intact cat a while back. We were going to breed him because he was a very special cat! Someone found our cat and took it to the Humane Society, and had it neutered without scanning for the chip that was in his neck. They also clipped his left ear tip off during the neutering. They then released him back out onto the street. Then someone else found him and took him in. After a couple of months, they took him to the vet and had him serviced but the Vet did scan him, and we were notified that our cat was found! But the vet gave him back to the person and we had to make arrangements to get him. We now have him back, but we can no longer breed him!!
We recently had an issue where our neighbor claimed to be bit by our dog resulting in a 10-day quarantine. We rescued this dog 4 years ago from a girl who gave him up- we have texts and documentation of this. However, he is microchipped, and she never wanted to or would sign over the microchip information to us. Fast forward, she was contacted of the quarantine and wants to take him back from the shelter after 4 years. They are saying she's the owner due to the microchip. How can we fight this? We have been with him for 4 years, have taken care of him, and helped him in so many ways. He is our family and now she is trying to come in and take him again. Can she do this? Do we have a case?
I have an ESA. I got her while I was living with my ex. I got her after my best friend died because I went into a severe depression. My abusive ex took me to a small claims court where he knew the judge and the judge made me give him the dog. I need this dog back; I have tried multiple avenues to get her back, and I keep getting told there’s nothing I can do.
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?
