Thats horrible

I think the reason the contracts don't hold up in Canadian courts is because dogs are not property.. meaning you cannot "own" one like you can a car, but you can have & care for one, & you are responsible for their actions (don't makes much sence does it? I agree)...

You cannot even let someone doggy sit here in Canada & be 100% protected.. Those people caring for the pet, can do pretty much anything they want.. get the animal fixed, & PTS Its 100% up to the vets to realize the person doesn't own the dog & they can hold the dog for the owner. But thats IF they notice... I wasn't that lucky & also learned the hard way. I'll never let anyone doggy sit my dog ever again (except for a kennel, its different then any joe... kinda), unless they are just coming into my home to feed, water & let the dog out to potty.. then the dog isn't in there care & they can not leggaly do anything to that dog.

I hope you can stir up enough dirt & help change the stupid laws here in Canada... I was too heart broken to fight & my ex put me in my place quickly, so I had to drop all plans I had.
