| Where is the sister's responsibility in this mess??!! Some sister and some attitude (it ran away??). And by the way, why wasn't the Yorkie licensed? As a responsible owner one usually keeps their pet's license and shots up todate. And as a final shot...what's the big deal with caring for your Yorkie while also caring for a new baby. They don't require much. Food, water and a Pee Pad if you can't let them out. I really feel for her loss but the lady was responsible for some of the negligence herself. Sorry for the "sour grapes", but I feel very strongly for Personal Responsibility...no ones does it anymore. |

In my city, licensing requires proof of rabies shots. Since bunjee is just a puppy and haven't gotten his rabies shot yet, he's not licensed yet. There are also cases where small breed puppies have reacted poorly to rabies shots so owners choose not to vaccinate in fear that the rabies shot would make their dog sick and put its life at risk. I don't know if the woman had a valid reason not to have her dog licensed and had someone else take care of her dog. Or if it's because she's ignorant of the licensing thing and too lazy to take care of the dog and a newborn. But the fact of the matter is, Whatever her reasoning is, I don't think it's fair to punish her by taking her dog away, especially when the process by which the dog was adopted by someone else was illegal to begin with because the animal shelter is in violation of state law. It's not sour grapes if someone is violating your rights as a pet owner, license or no license. I'm not a lawyer, but the way I see it, a sales contract drafted while in violation of another law cannot be enforced and should be declared null and void. Thereby returning the dog to her rightful owner. This woman's story should be a warning to all of us tho. Make sure whoever babysits your furbaby will take as much care as you. If you let your baby run in the backyard, make your fencing is such that they can't sneak away, and all doors are closed!!! And unless there's some extreme special circumstances, PLEASE GET YOUR DOG LICENSED!!!! It doesn't cost much. For me, it'll cost $20 for 3 year for an altered dog, and I live in a city with one of the highest cost of living in the USA. Better safe than sorry!!! | |

| There you go Hunniebunnie. In your last paragraph...personal responsibility or more accurately pet responsibility. The Yorkie was 5 yrs. old. He deserved as a family member to be more responsibly cared for. If she was on her way Saturday and stuck in traffic, maybe she could have plead with them to stay open a few minutes longer in order to collect her fur-baby? |

but like megans said, no matter her reasons, there's no going back to redo what has happened. regardless, the shelter is still in violation of state law and should not have sold the dog to another person before the expiration of the state required holding period. for her to get the dog back from impound, she would have needed to pay the license fee and get the dog licensed at that point anyways. | |

| We don't know this lady and we shouldn't make any judgements about her...The fact of the matter is that she found her dog and on the way to pick him up she called because they were going to close the shelter, and THEY told her to come back Tuesday...She did and they adopted out her dog...It's not right, and it was illegal.
