Pet Lost During Transfer

Summary

If your pet was lost during transfer to animal control in California, you may have a legal claim if negligence can be proven. Consider whether there was a contractual agreement, any breach of duty, or negligence by animal control, and if there were any damages. Since you did not receive documentation about your pet, contact the animal control department for records, review body cam footage, and consider filing a complaint with the relevant department.
