This is completely outrageous. I suggest you call the local bar association and ask for a few names of attorneys that deal with personal property and contract disputes. It sounds like you were under extreme duress when you signed over your dog. That could possibly be your defense. It is shocking to me that you/your family cannot get your beloved dog back. I would call corporate offices (if it applies) and give them H*** until someone who has a heart will be able to help me. That baby belongs with you and I wouldn't just accept what they say. Sorry if this posts sounds innapropriate it's just that my heart is broken for you and you are being mistreated to say the least.
