A friend of mine took in a dog for someone who could not look after her any more as she was homeless and had no money. She had the registration, vaccination and microchip paper work and a contract saying the bitch was having puppies and my friend would whelp the litter, sell the puppies and then the bitch would go back. Unfortunately she found out that this was her THIRD litter and the poor thing was not even two years old! My friend whelped the litter and found homes for the puppies. The previous owner was told she needed to be spayed as she had problems having the puppies which she refused permission for. Sadly my friend had cancer and when she had to go into a hospice we believe she rehomed the bitch with a suitable new owner. She sadly died soon after and this woman now claims she stole her bitch and is slagging her off all over facebook. She has changed her story so many times. Even the police are satisfied my friend did not steal the dog but was given it legally.
But surely the dog was supposed to go back to this lady? Regardless of the fact she was having her 1st, 10th or in this case 3rd litter? The original agreement was that the dog was to be returned to her- and it wasn't, so she's right, it was stolen from her.
She still had nowhere to live so was not in a position to have the dog back, so my friend did the best she could for the dog under the circumstances. She also never even asked about the bitch all the time she was there, it was only after my friend died that she started causing all the problems.
But she does name her in other posts on her own page and on her 'dog's' pages, the woman is a total fruit cake and obviously there is far more to this than I can put on here. She also names me and other people blaming us for all this. It just makes me mad that people can put things like this on facebook that are untrue and you have no comeback.
I can't in all conscience report the page, sorry. The person whose page it is hasn't named anyone in the accusation of theft (that I could see) so as far as I know she isn't doing anything legally wrong.
I sort of agree with your sentiments Lankeela, think id feel the same in this case, but you can't get away from the fact that the agreement was for your friend to return the dog- which she didn't do.
