When Dog Adoption Goes Awry

Well……the foster family has offered to give the dog back. Initially, this sounds great until you read the fine print. They are demanding $10,000 in order to do so.

Dogs 4Life applauds Best Friends for footing the legal bills in an attempt to get this poor dog back to his proper home.

The family that now has the dog claims it’s a case of mistaken identity and the dog they have is not the same Katrina displaced pup. On the other hand there is documentary evidence, including a dog tag and receipt as well as photographs of the dog which confirm the pooch’s true identity.

So what does the family want? The dog? The money? Whatever the resolution by the court, and we are pulling for the Katrina lady and her hopeful reunion with her dog, this is truly a case when a dog “adoption” has gone awry.

This case may well set a precedent for similar cases in the future so keep an eye out for updates on the tale of the Katrina evacuee and her dog.
