Is it normal to give your dog away a take it back?

5 Comments

Okay so I moved into these apartments that allow pets so I bought a puppy (German shepherd) and now shes about 9 months and shes gotten kinda big. I recieved an email from the manager of the apartments stating that my dog is a restricted breed and I must find a new home for her immediately. Which I find is unfair because I've seen 2 other German shepherds (that are bigger than mine) and I've seen a husky and a huge bulldog but for some reason I gotta find a new home for mine. I've been reading that it is bad to give away a dog because they can fall into depression and starve themselves or become aggressive due to betrayal. I have a friend that might be able to watch her until I'm able to move out but I on a lease until February 2020 and I'm not sure if my dog will still love me or feel like I abandon her. I've had her since she was a month old and we've gotten very close. Any ideas on how I can some how keep her without the risk of getting evicted or a trick to get off my lease without punishment. This is my child they are trying to force me to get rid of and I cant do it. I'd be willing to live out on the streets with my dog but there are coyotes around the city I live in and in the cities nearby there are many crackheads and I've been getting nad flus lately so I dont think being in the streets will do us any good. Is there any possible way I can keep my dog by law or something, I'm willing to pay the money?

Help us keep this site organized and clean. Thanks!

    Move. The manager of your apartment is a prick and a hypocrite.

    You can always take it higher up considering they're letting other dogs stay.

    I'd go legal on her ass.

    Don't take her word for this. Print out a copy of your lease and read through the entire thing. Highlight any mention of pets at all, and see if you find anything specifically banning your dog. If you don't find anything, or even if you find something but the wording isn't water tight, then fight it. If it says something wishy washy like "at the landlord's discretion" or something about other things being covered but not specifically mentioned in the lease directly, then read up on the law and find out if it would stand up in court. These kind of things often don't, and a good lawyer can claim them to be invalid. Tell her that you will be keeping your dog and she has no right to kick you out for this as it isn't mentioned in the lease, and that if she wants to evict you she will need to persue this through the proper legal channels. DO NOT do this over the phone - do it all over email or in letters sent with tracked and signed delivery. Make sure the letter is triple checked for spelling and grammar and that it sounds very formal and professional. Ask someone for help with this if you need to. Show her that you mean business.

    It's surprisingly difficult to remove tenants from a property once the tenancy has started. The whole process is very long and drawn out, and involves her having to jump through a lot of legal hoops that take months and months. Chances are if you are paying your rent on time and keep the place clean, she actually won't want to kick you out if you resist it because it will be a shitload of effort and money for her to do so.

    How long is the lease good for? And I commend you for trying to keep your dog with you. A lot of people don’t bother and it’s ridiculous.
