My former roommate and I both shared custody of our dog however, he was abusive to the dog, and the dog was scared to death of him and so he verbally told me that the dog was now mine. I moved out and he is mad at me and so he is now trying to claim that I took his dog and his threatening to file a police report. What should I do?
My neighbors have been catching cats and dumping them and would not let me feed some baby kittens and they took the mom away. The kittens almost died, and I had to take them to the vet. A friend of mine had to help save these kittens and keep them alive they continue to catch cats in the neighborhood that belong to people and we don’t know where they’re taking them. I just need them to stop being harmful to animals
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.
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?
End of Sept 2024 I signed adoption paperwork on behalf of my daughter's friend because she was underage & unable to legally adopt the cat with the understanding that she would take care of him properly & if she couldn't I would take ownership of the cat or return him to the humane society. We discussed transfer of ownership when she became of age if she could properly take care of him. Recently I have come to find that she has been abusive: throwing him in the air, shaking him, dragging him across the floor or outside when he refuses to walk, shoving his head into cat nip to try to force him to eat it when he doesn't want it, shoving him into the tub & holding him down after he jumped from the tub during a bath, locking him in a closet, using him as a puppet causing popping in his legs. She took in a stray prior to that & waited months to finally take her in for an eye infection & her apartment is always a mess with trash & food everywhere. She was already informed prior that I planned on taking him back if things didn't change. When things didn't, within a week I informed her I'd be picking him up & called the cops but was advised it was a civil matter since she refuses to return him believing she is a co-owner, but she is not on the paperwork at all as I am the legal owner. How do I go about initiating a civil suit for the return of the cat I adopted?
My neighbors have 4 dogs in a one-bedroom apartment and are hardly home. They have been gone for over 48 hours now and kennel all 4 dogs in one kennel that is too small for even one of them. The police can't help, since the owners are gone.
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?
Can the veterinarian report this to the humane society and can the humane society forcibly take custody of her dog and not give it back?
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.
If my ex has been convicted of animal abuse in Alberta years ago, is he allowed to take over custody of one of our dogs? They are both registered under my name and not his. He rarely ever has walked them, fed them, taken them all of twice to the vet, never plays with them, and doesn't train them. We've also broken up before and he left them with me including this time. But now wants "his" dog. What are my options? Thank you!
