I don't think she would have any intention of letting you have her back. Based on her having you sign something stating you were giving her the rights to the dog. I would contact the shelter that referred her to you and demand animal control go with you to retrive your baby. If this didn't work, I would wait 5 days and demand her to provide you proof she had taken the dog to the vet. If not I would then contact the police dept and have them escort you to her home to retrieve your dog that you have reg. papers on. I would tell them you signed the paper so she would have the right to seek the much needed medical treatment for her, if she hasn't taken her to the vet by the 5th day she is showing she does not have her best interest at heart. However, if she has taken her in, perhaps she truly does care about her and is going to help her. Trying to see her point, perhaps she does want to help animals that may go untreated or have a warm safe home to live in. Only you know how the place really was and if after sleeping on it, in your mind and heart it isn't the situation you feel is best for the dog, I would go get her. It being Sunday your shelter may not be open, so I would go to her home with a witness and try to get her back yourself. I'm curious, did she discuss what her intention was of seeking medical attention for her? If you do go and try to get her and she refuses I wouldn't mention the medical attention your dog needs, it could tip her off to take her to the vet to protect herself in being able to keep her. Good Luck and prayers are with you. |
