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. |
No, she didn't say anything about that but she knew it was the reason why I needed to give her up.
I wont say anything about the vet to her. I actually thought maybe the best way to attempt to get her without the help of the police would be to tell her that Ciera is actually legally my ex-husbands dog and that he has her paperwork. I told her when I dropped her off that I couldn't find her papers. So I could say that the reason I couldn't find them is because I had forgotten that I had signed her over to my husband 3 yrs ago. See, my husband and I are separated and he DID initially take Ciera with him because she was HIS baby. But he ended up moving away and at the time took her with him. Considering the hours he was working at the time along with the fact that he was living in a motel room and gone for 12 or more hours a day, he brought her back to me. He had, up until 8 months ago helped me with her care but has since fallen on hard times as well and can't help me. Don't get me wrong, he is furious with me for the decision I just made but she is NOT legally his. She is registered to me. Just an idea I had. Of course my mind is racing with ideas right now because I'm looking for a solution for the mess I have created. I just thought that if I told her that she is legally his and that he reminded me of that when I talked to him. (and yes, I do still talk to him!!! lol!) He did tell me to march back over there and get her because we had made it this long with her that we could've undoubtedly made it to the end. When I told him that I was forced to sign her away, he said that she COULD hold me to it, but in the end she probably couldn't use it for much more than something to clean up the poop in her home with!!! lol!! I'm willing to try anything at this point.
