FAQ
Answer. People who believe that their animal is being wrongfully withheld can commence a civil lawsuit (such as a replevin action) to try to get the animal returned and can also contact the police, although the police do not usually get involved in pet custody disputes.
In California, pets are generally considered property under the law, and if you have proof of ownership, such as adoption papers or veterinary records, it can strengthen your case. Since you had possession of the dog before and have evidence of your previous ownership, you may have legal grounds to reclaim your pet.
A replevin action is a civil matter subject to the rules of civil procedure. When the case gets to court, the lien holder must establish his right to possession of the property, normally through a contract. He will have to show that the borrower breached the contract, usually due to nonpayment.
To get back the dog, you will need to sue your ex in court. You will need to prove ownership of the dog to get full possession of the dog. Evidence will be bill of sale or contract to buy the dog, vet bills, microchip owner in the dog, food and care bills for the dog, etc.
If your dog has been taken wrongfully, perhaps by a family member, or ex non-marital partner, it is possible to use the property status of your animal to obtain a judgment. Replevin is an effective civil remedy to get your dog back.
Contact animal control: You can also reach out to your local animal control agency to report the situation and ask for their assistance. They may be able to help mediate the situation or offer resources to help you get your dog back. Remember to remain calm and persistent in your efforts to get your dog back.
The process of starting a replevin action usually begins with filing a complaint. It also requires filing an affidavit in the county or district court where the property is. The affidavit: States that the plaintiff claims rightful ownership or entitlement to possession of the property.
