A woman learned her former dog had been surrendered to a [k.i.ll] shelter by her ex-boyfriend. She\u2019d been searching for the dog for months after their breakup. The dog was [sc.heduled] for [eu.tha.nas.ia] the next morning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She arrived after closing and found the facility [lo.ck.ed]. She [br.o.ke] a window, [di.sab.led] the alarm, and searched the kennels until she found her dog, Max. She took Max and [fl.ed].<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Shelter staff discovered the [b.re.ak-in] and the [mi.ssi.ng] dog. Police issued a [wa.rra.nt] for [bu.rgl.ary] and [th.e.ft]. Security footage clearly showed her [br.eak.ing] in.
She turned herself in three days later with Max. She faced [fe.lo.ny cha.rges] but argued that Max was [st.ol.en] from her originally by the ex-boyfriend, who\u2019d had no [le.gal] right to surrender him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Her lawyer proved ownership through vet records, photos, and microchip registration. The ex-boyfriend had surrendered the dog [i.ll.eg.al.ly] out of [s.pi.te].<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The judge [dr.op.ped ch.arg.es] against her and issued a [wa.rra.nt] for the ex-boyfriend for [t.he.ft] and [i.ll.eg.al] surrender. Max was officially returned to her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She still faced civil [pe.nal.ti.es] for property [da.ma.ge] to the shelter. She [paid] gladly, saying that [bre.aking] that window saved Max\u2019s life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The case highlighted problems with shelter surrender procedures and [ide.ntity ve.rifica.tion].<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In this case can there be a petition for all shelters to have a 24\/7 emergency number to call or texts so In the future no one has to go to this length to [fi.ght] for their fur baby!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
