Please Read !!! Please Share!!! Spread this !!! Thank you !!! Please Help This is Angel... Angel went missing about 4 months ago. She is about 4 years old,sweet girl and has never ventured out of the yard before. The 2nd day after not coming home we went through all the correct procedures of what you do when you are faced with this situation. we did as we were told from the Dog Warrden and took all the steps we were instructed to do. My family went to the SPCA called animal control went to all of the Vets in the area from Hyde Park to Pleasant Valley and all in between. We posted on websites of missing animals in the hudson valley. No luck. Around 4 months later we recieved a strage text saying with a picture saying that this might be our dog and to please contact animal control. I left work early and rushed to the police station. as you might imagine i was overwhelmed with emotion I could not even descibe. I sat and talked to Theresa (Dog Warrden) for an hour and was at the office for a total of 3 hours. I found out that she had been living behind an abandoned house under a construction trailer when they found her. She was half the weight she was before she had left and come to find out she had 5 puppies! She had mated with our other dog before she went missing. Angel had been picked up September 11th. We didnt not recieve this text until September the 26th. Well Theresa proceeded to tell me that I could not have my dog back until I paid $471 for her catching the dog and now it was her property. $187 was just the kennel fee/bording fee alone because she had not notified me until almost 2 weeks after they found her. I was completly helpless. I dont have $471 laying around. I asked for any help or if I could make payments. I dont even have credit to get a loan or a line of credit. what do I do ? ...No answers. Basically if you want the dog you will come up with the money. I am more than grateful for her finding Angel but how can you now turn around and charge me this astronomical amount? There were vet bills aswell which I can understand but all of this extra money and charges added on were rediculous. Theresa charged $100 alone just for her picking the dog up! Me and my boyfriend went to the vet to look at her to make sure it was indeed her and also wanted to see the puppies. We were not aloud to touch them or go near them. They were all in a small cage and behind a glass window. There was only 4 in the cage and on the other side of the room they were in was thw 5th puppy by itself. Out of curiousity i asked why her 5th puppy was by itself? The dog was same size, age, color and breed of all the others. The nurse/secretary that had brought up back became very angry and slamed the door so we could not see the other puppy and became extremely rude. Told us we were not aloud to look at that puppy and that it was a clients dog. Well Theresa told me that she gave away the puppy to this ladys brother who owned the building behind the vacant house. So without my knowledge or consent she gave away one of my dogs ? How is that okay? I told them I wanted to take the puppies along with Angel because I have the father as well. I found them homes and the Vets office now tells me that it will cost about the same amount for each individual puppy! If I am unable to claim the puppies they will be put up for adoption at a fraction of the price or Theresa puts the puppies on Petfinder or Craigslist or Ebay or websites and sells them. This is completley insane to me,seems extremely shady. I was unaware of how this whole system works but now that I have experienced it first hand, I hope that no dog ever gets picked up by this woman. Theresa is not doing this for the love of animals or just do the genuinely right thing to reunite animals to their owners and familes. The last dog that went there, the girl behind the counter who had been so nasty owns now. She adopted her because her owner could not come up with the large amount that they were asking for. The woman still calls and begs the girl for her dog back. Its really sad. How can you basically out right steal someones dog? Its heartless. This is completly about money. I found out that if I could not get the money together and get her out of there that Angel would be uthenized with no questions asked. I did not know that losing your dog meant you were punished for it. On top of all these crazy fees and absured charges I now have 3 tickets that I have to appear in court for October 8th. This woman issued me tickets for me losing my dog. I cant even believe this is how the system works. I have not committed a crime. I lost my dog and she left with a collar with tags. Went through all of the correct steps, by the book to get her back and this is what comes of it. I am disgusted..
