ExH brought his dog in my house without permission

ExH just dropped off his dog in my house. For me to look after, even though i had said no to looking after him. The dc let Exh and dog in when i was out. They love that dog and of course had no knowledge of anything.

ExH is gone now for two weeks. Abroad. He just walked out and took off to the airport, leaving dog behind.

I've got two dc and two cats and work long hours. The cats have never spent a night/day alone in the house with this dog. He is kind and mellow, but a large breed. Size of a wolf.
I've contacted a dog shelter and might have to go to go through rspca.

Posting to tell someone. This is just one of many many ways he always finds a way to use me or control my life. I didn't want any of this. And now im left here calling shelters (which im asked to pay for), calling womens aid, calling rspca, figuring out how to do this without upsetting the dc, texting exH to sort out care if he doesn't want me to take this further, posting here for support, trying to figure out tomorrow with sorting out the kids, my work, other stuff, business meeting and my actual day job. Honestly?! Wtf!!!

Can You contact the local council Dog Warden and advise what has happened and effectively the dog has been abandoned. Let them pick it up and deal with your ex. Be firm. Best to you xx

Good for you not just sucking it up!
Yup to a shelter. He can deal with when he gets home

Could you take it to his parents? Move in to his house for a while, feeding the cats at yours? Get a dog minder and bill him somehow?

Your ex is a dick. But you know this
sorry nothing helpful on practical front

Message ex and tell him that he has 24 hours to arrange for someone to collect the dog or you will be delivering it to the RSPCA as abandoned.
