Hi
I've changed my username for this one.
Last year I was in a real state , I had help
From a local animal food bank ... I was so grateful but basically I had 5 dogs , I'd taken on a dog that had been pregnant and had puppies and a couple of dogs were not keen on each other so separating them so they didn't fight.
I tried to struggle on keeping them all as I'm a animal lover and loved them all but the food bank lady convinced me I was not doing my best by them as was struggling financially to feed so many and she took the mum and pups , rehomed them to people on the promise I would get updates regular etc, signed them over to her.
The other dog I didn't want to let go of , like really didn't want to but app a perfect family came up and I was selfish to not give him the best chance of being a only dog etc etc so I reluctantly and I mean devastated let him go to the family , never signed any paperwork handing him over , I never changed his microchip to them etc , spent the whole night In tears on the phone to her telling her it isn't right and I missed him too much .. she kept telling me it was the right thing , their family was a better fit bla bla. Turns out the family sent him back and she has honed him again with someone else , she just tells me he's happy and won't give me any updates as said it's down to the new owners if they choose to or not.
Im broken , my mental health hasn't been the best and im on anti ds etc
I don't know what I can do , please don't flame me, I loved every single dog and was making sure they were all kept well loved and they'd all been health , jabbed wormed flead etc I just lost my job and left DV and was so grateful
For the help of the charity they did help a lot with dog food and even human food for me and my child last year and I promise I thanked them so much but I told her I didn't want to rehome him and feel I let myself get bullied to be honest when I wasn't thinking straight ...

If the dog's microchip hasn't been changed, isn't it legally still your dog?

Sorry to hear about your situation by the way OP.

@XelaM thank you for taking the time to read and reply to me .
That's what I wondered because I haven't changed it over , I don't know it the food bank lady has but if so as he wasn't signed over to her I don't think she would be allowed too. She never gave me back his vaccination book when she took him for his booster ( I paid for she just transported him there and back ) , maybe I need to ask a lawyer about it x

Can you afford a lawyer ?
It sounds like this lady helped you when you were in a bad place and I’m sorry you felt bullied into handing over your dogs but if your situation was so bad you realistically couldn’t have kept any of them and looked after them properly. I don’t doubt you loved them but they needed more than that. Letting the dogs go was pretty brave to be honest and shows how much you did love them as it was best for them
I think you should concentrate on getting yourself better for now and not pursue this
