Individuals who give away their animal usually don’t have any additional rights to that animal, together with no proper to find out when/if the animal needs to be euthanized. Within the meantime, it might be useful to have readily available proof that the canine was given to you (even texts and emails), that the canine has been in your possession for an prolonged time period, veterinary information (in the event that they embrace your identify), receipts for pet food and different bills paid for the canine’s care, and another proof of “parenthood.” I hope this all works out in the most effective pursuits of the canine.
