This dog is not an owner surrender and was a stray. The owner has 5 days by state law to claim the dog. Whoever you spoke with is misinformed of the laws of the state of Texas. If they will not give the dog back to the owner then if it were me I would stand right at the shelter and call the Greenville Police Department. |
That pulls up Greenville, south Carolina. We're in Texas. But she's in a small town outside Greenville and the shelter is in the same county. Texas states unless a person has cared for a dog for ore than 14 days, they do not own it, it's still a stray and they allow for 3 days to give the owner adequate time to find their animal. Jana called the shelter and the lady wouldn't even speak to her- Jana told her she had filed a police report for her dog being missing/stolen. Police said they were going to go talk to the lady and see what's up. When Jana talked to the police she told them what happened and that tinker bell was left outside and shouldn't have been, got out of the fence and that a neighbor turned her in to the shelter, but that the neighbor never tried to contact her or her family. Supposedly the dog was turned in Monday so tomorrow is 3 days.
I cant find anything about this shelter online, so I'm wondering if it's even legitimate? Jana is going to be there at 8 am to try and get tinker bell back. I told her to take officers with her... I'll keep y'all posted as to what happens.
