Reader Needs Help To Replevin Her Dog...
Any attorneys in Maryland that want to reach out to help this pet owner that sent me this message?
"I am having trouble finding the help and answers to my problem. I have talked to several local lawyers to no avail. I am wanting to seek custody back of a puppy. I sold the puppy to a "friend"/coworker. I wrote up a contract with specifics on payment plan and the puppy starting shots, etc. One month later, no record of shots were received by me, and repeatedly asked new owner for said records. I did file a writ of replevin, and had new owner served by sheriff. Before the hearing, me and new owner made arrangements to start shots, etc.
Needless to say, I let my guard down and trusted that follow-up boosters and rabies were to be completed. I did withdrawal case as I truly thought new owner would be compliant. Well, these were not done and I again contacted new owner. I am not happy with their excuses and no proof of shots for puppy. I did however, contact last place of original shot, and received a record of said puppy starting these shots again. To date, I have not received copy of booster shot or rabies shot for puppy. I did send a certified letter to person notifying them of my intentions to seek custody again.
The courts here really have no idea how to handle a case like this, I am at my wit's end here, this puppy's health and life can be at risk here. I have talked to a few lawyers here about breach of contract, etc, and I am getting nowhere. It is getting really frustrating and each day that goes by, this puppy is at risk.
If you have any advice or need more info, please contact me. There is a little more to story, but trying to keep it short."
Contact me for the name and number if you are interested….
