Dog abuse - can you bring suit?
If I have witnessed strong verbal abuse by my neighbor to his dog who admitted hitting her before but I didnt see that, and I see that the dog is afraid of him, so there's probably some ongoing physical abuse too, and I reported this to animal control who told me the abuse wasnt serious enough to require removal from the home, how do I or can I go about getting animal control to remove the dog, so I could try to adopt her? (She is a mutt, not a purebred, but a really nice dog.) I cannot find any environmental attorney listings in my area, either, I live in a small town. Thank you for any advice.
