Who does this?
You did this, Heather. The choices you made set this in motion.
BRAT explained that you could adopt Declan by signing a piece of paper. You refused? Why would you refuse? Declan would have been yours. Your dog. And the only thing you would have needed was a few extra dollars every month. $15-20 for food, and $25/month put to the side for his annual checkup and shots. Easy enough. Not the end of the world. Sounds "do-able", right?
But you refused to sign a piece of paper.... what did you expect to happen? Did you think BRAT would just "go away" and forget about it all? Now your upset that Animal Control is coming to pick the dog up?
@westcoastflea1 said in Brat Rescue and Transport; How they really treat rescues:
Brat wanted Animal Control to come and they hoped I was stupid enough to let Animal Control on my property, examine Declan, and take him to the vet,
BRAT has requested that Animal Control pick Declan up to be seen by a Vet. At which point, a BRAT representative will probably come to pick Declan up. You should not expect Declan to return to your home.
If Declan is this viscious animal that attacks everyone, he "might" be put down. If Declan is well behaved, he "might" just go to another foster home to be assessed. The determining factor will probably rely on whether the Vet says he is or isn't managable.
Your quote from the email you received, stating that, "she has frantically called all vets and no one would see Declan if he was still with me" indicates that the Vets are willing to treat Declan.
@debradownsouth is right. The authorities can appear at your door and just take the dog. You need to understand: they can arrest you if you try to resist them. Be very careful, Heather. Please.

you don't take a dog abused as puppy and make it all magically vanish,
Declan was put in your care 8(?) years ago... So, why haven't you resolved these issues? Is he still a territorial biter who is is anxious, insecure, and doesn't want to be touched? After being in your home and care for eight years? Eight years and this viscious dog provides so much "emotional support" for you that you call him your ESA and desparately want to keep him?
These two concepts are conflicted. An ESA dog that isn't adoptable? You are painting pictures of two different dogs. One that might not be adoptable, and one that is. So which is it?
Declan is either a loving support dog, or
Declan bites anyone who tries to touch him, doesn't want you on "his" couch, and displays anxious and insecure behaviors.
Harsh as it might seem... none of this really adds up and it suggests that you are running some sort of scam.
Are you lying about Declan being "unadoptable" so that you can keep him while BRAT pays for his care?
Is he really that sick with all these medical issues?
Between the $350/mont in meds and $150/month for food... is that just an extra $500/month in your pocket?
