I suppose because it's proven that this is the breeder who is doing the right
thing but they refuse to release the dog to a responsible party unless they can
neuter it first. This is a sore point with me because a similar situation
happened with me when my house cat escaped and was turned into the HS. I found
out about it but they refused to give me my cat back until I paid the adoption
fee.
And yes I have taken a dog out of a shelter and yes they do let you take an
intact animal.....it depends on the policies of that particular HS.
I misread her email though, I thought she was the co-owner so you have a
point.

Well it's probably to late now to save the dogs testicles, but for or a
little payback, Imight write a check to the Humane Society and put a stop
payment on it the minute I walked out the door with my dog. Let them screw
around trying to get the money from me.
Also remember, anyone can file a lawsuit for anyone reason...if you wanted to
purse it further you could go that route....just make sure that you get all the
names of the individuals you showed the paperwork too when you tried to get
your dog back intact.
Finally, if you aren't ready to give up, why not contact the local police and
see if they will accompany you to the HS. Afterall they do have your valuable
property and once neutered the dog will be less valuable to you.
Unfortunately because the dog was surrendered, things might be more
difficult. You may want to pursue something against the co-owners instead.

The Humane society isn't the bad guy here, why write a check you intend to
cancel???? (Illegal in a lot of states anyway.)
The OWNERS turned the dog in. Someone else ADOPTING can only take the dog
once he's neutered. The BREEDER (Barb), gave the dog away "placing it in a pet
home" per the e-mail. No co-ownership mentioned in the e-mail. It's no longer
the BREEDER'S property. Now, Barb's going to do the right thing, collect a dog
she bred from the shelter and re-home him I'm sure. But the humane society
looked for a chip, found the breeder, contacted the breeder, all good things.
Why make a federal case against them? Have you ever taken a dog out of a
shelter? They don't let the dog go to people adopting while they are still
intact.
It isn't Barb's dog, she can't prove with any recent records that it is, so
be it.
These aren't new rules. When Cody got loose at the Ohio National, I was told
by the Humane Society in Columbus, if they got him, they would hold him for 3
days for the owner (me) to claim. If I didn't claim him, they'd neuter him and
he'd be placed for adoption. If I did claim him, I'd need proof of ownership.
I always carry rabies certs, microchip info and local, county licenses in the
van, so I had more than enough proof. The catalog from the National wouldn't
have hurt either <G>. Now, they didn't get him, he went to the OSU campus, but
I would have had to prove all that if they had. AND, that's not a bad thing,
they are doing their job.
