Oh Alycia-
I am so sorry this is all happening. It certainly does sound as if someone was trying to scam you. I don't understand how the check could have been run through, cleared, a receipt given to you and then NSF show up this much later.
And just how did the Sheriff get involved in all this? You are certainly not guilty of check fraud if you have a hand-voided check and a receipt from the facility.
If I remember correctly, the breeder runs a local grooming or pet salon? Business do not hold checks for this length of time. They are required to have regular deposits because they need to pay quarterly taxes and such. Something sounds really fishy to me....
I wouldn't want to return Maddie either. Why can't they just let you keep her and make payments. Do you have any jewelry of value that they could hold and then return once you are paid in full???
Gosh, I just don't know what else to say. I'm praying for you guys...
