Are you ready for a rollercoaster of emotions? Picture this: You lose your beloved dog, only to find out three years later that she’s alive and well. Sounds like something out of a movie, right? Well, for one pet owner, this incredible scenario became a reality.
It all started when a heartbreaking revelation was made by an ex-partner. The ex claimed that the dog had passed away and was buried in the backyard. Devastated by the news, the pet owner mourned the loss of their furry companion, believing that they would never see their beloved pet again.
Fast forward to a few years later, and a miraculous turn of events occurred. A familiar face popped up on Facebook – a dog who bore an uncanny resemblance to the pet that was believed to be gone forever. Shocked and filled with a mixture of hope and doubt, the pet owner embarked on a journey to uncover the truth.
After reaching out to various sources and conducting thorough investigations, it was revealed that the dog, previously thought to be deceased, was in fact alive and had been surrendered to a shelter. The dog had been separated from her original family, taken in by a stranger, and given a new name.
Determined to reunite with their long-lost companion, the pet owner took the necessary steps to reclaim their dog. However, despite their efforts, they faced obstacles and resistance from a rescue organization that had taken custody of the dog.
It’s a heart-wrenching situation filled with twists and turns, but the pet owner’s unwavering love and determination shine through. So, what can be done in such a complex and emotional predicament? Here are some steps to consider:
###1. Legal Options
– Consult with a legal expert to understand your rights as a pet owner.
– Explore avenues for reclaiming ownership of your dog through legal means.
###2. Petition for Return
– Create a petition highlighting the circumstances of your dog’s separation and your desire to be reunited.
– Gather support from friends, family, and the community to amplify your plea for your dog’s return.
###3. Alternative Resolutions
– Offer to reimburse the rescue organization for any expenses incurred during the dog’s care.
– Express your willingness to undergo the adoption process and meet any requirements set forth by the organization.
###4. Seek Mediation
– Consider seeking mediation services to facilitate a dialogue between you and the rescue organization.
– Aim to find a mutually beneficial solution that prioritizes the well-being of the dog.
###5. Advocate for Empathy
– Share your story with local media outlets or social media platforms to raise awareness about your situation.
– Appeal to the public for empathy and support in your quest to be reunited with your dog.
In the face of adversity, love for our furry companions knows no bounds. While the road to reuniting with your dog may be challenging, perseverance and advocacy can pave the way for a heartwarming reunion. Stay strong, stay hopeful, and never underestimate the power of love between a pet and their owner. 🐾💕

– Dogs are property under the law.
– Stolen property is to be returned to the owner.
– As others have said, call the police, report the rescue for having stolen goods and refusing to return it.
– Demand a police report.
While it sucks to think of it this way, under the law it is no different than if someone stole your phone and sold it on Craigslist. If it is your property, it gets returned to you. The buyer has recourse against the thief.
If the police (or anyone else) try an emotional angle, just be clear, this is your property, it was stolen, you want it returned or charges pressed.
This is like a lifetime movie
Does she have a chip? Has it been scanned? If so, who is on it?
Go to the police. File a report against your ex and ask to file a report against the rescue for receipt of stolen property.
Police and then social media.
The other commenters are talking about stolen property, but I’m not clear on the ownership. When you left Shellie with your ex, was it with the understanding that she would someday be returned to you? It sounds like he had her for around two years before telling you she died.
Without any effort on your part to reclaim her, or any understanding that this was a temporary arrangement, the argument against you would be that you gave ownership to your ex. The woman who removed her collar and tried to keep her stole her from your ex, not from you. And if your ex doesn’t want to claim her, then he’s relinquishing his ownership to the shelter, who have now transferred her to the rescue. (If this sounds really convoluted, then you get exactly why the rescue doesn’t want to get involved with disputes.)
You can try to go the police report route, but I think you should prepare for the fact that it won’t make a difference and someone else ahead of you will get to adopt her, and it would all be legally above board.
Police report, but then contact your local news. Bringing a bunch of eyeballs to this might help persuade the shelter to be understanding
These rescues really specialize in rescuing money from your bank account to theirs.
Police report, and raise hell online and in the news / local media. Do not be afraid to use your voice, it’s your biggest chance of getting your dog back. Reviews, shareable posts, and a news story could easily force the rescue to give you the dog to save their public reputation (they should give u the dog anyway and stop being heartless, but people suck).
If there is a way to comment on the rescue’s photo /post of the dog, comment that the dog is your missing dog and the rescue will not let you adopt it. Keep commenting if they delete.
