In some states verbal agreement does hold up.
And w/ proof, there is still a time frame (depending on your city and state) in which you can recover your dog using proof of ownership. For example, if two months have gone by and the dog has been put in their name and now has a vet record in their name and so on, she no longer is yours.
Sorry about your situation. I wish you the best in getting your Butters back.
Cute name btw...South Park fan?
