Hi I gave my 2 Jack Russell as much as I return to SA next year unexpectedly. I found a family in Loquo and went to his house to see the environment in which we live is happy, but I can not give my second Jack Russell (Russell) away and I thought to bring with me to SA. When I spoke with Ms. Russell explained that I did not want to give away, but she lobbied to have it too. Dogs have a few weeks ago, and whenever I speak to wonder how dogs say good, but not an excuse to see them. The first week was the mother of the Virgin was sick and had to go visit his mother in Yorkshire. Following the same story that was still in Yorks. The 3rd week, all of a sudden divorce and the man and do not have a phone number to contact the lady who had taken the dogs in York, as I wanted to visit and check that all was well. He assured me he was in York, was on Friday and try to get a number for me. I do not think he gets home to see if it was his or Yorkshire, and how surprised she was at home with the dogs (or so I thought) in his house which was not York. When I knocked on the door, I heard this fight, but it seems they were sitting in the lounge or the peace and lasted about 4-5 minutes to answer the door. I heard my dogs barking I knew they were his. I left and when we lose horns and began to cry eachother. I asked to see my dogs, I saw 1m Russell. I asked him where is Jackie said yesterday he fled because of fireworks and did not know where he was. I was mad and called Russell back, but she refused. I just wanted to take my dog, but not listened to their excuses of why not contact me or send pictures, as promised (as it was at York with the dogs and I was talking to the man since he gave the dogs away) then gave me his contact number and I left. I am not happy that she had lost my dog and feel that others might neglect my other dog and I am very stressed and upset by the situation. I do not know what to do, and Im worried now want to return to my dogs. Please help! TLG
This is why you never get a pet unless you can keep and take care of them until they die.
I can’t believe I actually read all of that……..get an attorney.
You’ll just have to continue to talk to her. Be calm and polite. Remind her that now might not be the best time to have the responsibilities of the dog(s) since she is going through a difficult time with her husband. Use a little reverse psychology. If you make it sound like you’re trying to help her out rather than accusing her of things, maybe she’ll be more cooperative.
In the end though, you cannot just take them back because she could press charges. You gave them to her of your own free will (whether you felt pressured or not) and taking them back without her consent would be stealing. The verbal agreement will hold up in court. You may just have to accept the fact that you gave them away and live with the consequences. In every situation like this, what the new owners choose to do with the dogs once they are in their possession is beyond your control. There’s literally nothing you can do. I’m sorry.
omg !
you should just go over there take the
ddog and leave , im serious what can they do .
you didnt give them a receipt or anything .
they have no proof.
they lost one of your dogs, that a sin . what
if they didnt something bad to her , get over
there and take that dog before something
bad happens to him !
i don’t know what you can do about the one that’s in their possession-but I’d be combing the neighborhood looking for the other one…..maybe wait til you know the people aren’t home and go talk to the neighbors…they may have seen the dog and know where it is?
and then-if they leave Russell in the yard…well–call him….
That sucks!
First, you call the police.
Then, you go and put up some flyers.
Sorry, you gave them away and have no rights to have them back unless you have a written contract that gives you that right. So sad for the poor doggies who are so confused now.
If I were you I would do my level best to find the “lost” one and they surely would never get it back.
I would on another visit if you can get another visit, break out in tears and have a complete melt down about losing your dogs and I would make them feel very very sorry for you. Few people could hold your dogs away from you with an emotional breakdown in front of their eyes. Don’t do it over the phone as they would just never see you again.
call someone who has the right to take them back for you. frankly if it were me i would walk right into their house and take russell myself but i’m not sure what they would do. like try to sue or what. But ya, call like the RCMP or animal control people, someone who can help you. Did she pay you for them?? or sign anything? if not you should just take them. and start looking for Jackie. I’m very sorry, some people are just messed up. I wish you the best. And please let me know what happends! If you can’t get them I’d come and get them for you! That makes me mad. stupid dog stealing lady.
tell ur local animal shelter or spca that u think the dogs may be neglected and see if there is anyway u can get them back
This is what happens when you don’t check someone out before rehoming a dog.
Your options are very limited. I personally would offer to buy the dog back. It’d probably cost you less than hiring an attorney, and be a lot quicker. However you can for a small fee ask an attorney to help you draft a letter that might convince them they need to return the dogs due to misrepresentation and neglect. Sometimes the threat of a lawsuit is enough to change someone’s mind.
Good luck. I hope your other dog is found and that you get both dogs back to KEEP.
At the very least, I hope you’ve learned something from this experience.
you should ask her politley ( maybe bring a shotgun with you) XD LOL
