We're going to court...

Well...they must've thought we were kidding.

So, we have 3 different families who have adopted dogs from The Lucky Puppy who don't want to comply with their adoption contracts.

One hasn't spayed her puppy (pup was too young to spay when it went home), so she is facing a $250. fine (agreed to in her contract).

One hasn't neutered her puppy (same deal as above), and is facing a $250. fine.

And one refuses to call me back and I am unable to confirm that their new puppy has received veterinary care. According to their adoption contract, they are now required to surrender the dog to us.

Certified Letters have gone out in the mail. The spay and neuter deadlines have passed with no action on the part of the new owners. The one who is refusing to communicate has a few days left until their deadline.

Then...we're taking them to court. I expect people to keep their word when they sign an adoption contract that is detailed about these issues.

We're serious about this stuff. They apparently thought we were kidding.

I'll keep you posted.
