I really think you have a alot here to help you get your dog back in this apartment. If you have neighbors that have seen your yorkie often and can write letters and a police report stating on one red mark that didn't seem to be a dog bite, you have a good chance.
If you think in your heart it could have been a dog bite and not worth the hassle and you would rather move then that is one thing but I would fight it.
I owned my condo (now I am in an apt.) for 22 yrs. and the association had monthly meeting and it was rare that more than 5 or 6 people showed up even when they were thinking of raising the maintanence fees. One day we got a letter that we would not be able to get another dog if ours died and there would be a meeting on such and such a date. You NEVER saw such a turn out in your entire life. Yes, we had strength in numbers but they did change the law there as they wanted but grand-fathered us in so those that ones purchased when when it said we were able to have sm. dogs could still get another.
I know you feel alone in all this and I hope the advise you get will help you. All you have to do is run up against one person that doesn't like dogs and they can make your life hell on earth so maybe the move is best for you. Hugs, Joan |
