I bought a puppy....?

Question

and the previous owners wanted her back within 2 days as thier son was so upset - we agreed and got our money back, now they keep harassing us by phone for the vets injection card - we ahve posted it but it doesnt seem to of got there - given them the vets name etc... but still they keep pestering us

What should we do?

Answer 1

If you've already given them the Vet name and phone number where you had the dog seen, they can pick up a copy of that information from the Vet themselves. Call your vet, and make them aware of the ownership transfer so that it will be easy for them to obtain.

Explain that the information must have been lost in the mail, suggest that they contact the Vet. Make them aware that you've made the changes with the office and request that they not contact you further as what they are doing is harassment.

You've been more than fair by returning the puppy. Your obligation has ended. Be firm, and let them know that you have assisted them as far as you can.

Answer 2

If you bought the puppy it was yours fair and square, it should not be expected that you give it back to them whenever its convenient, so in giving the puppy back you have done more than enough to suit their needs. You have given them all the details so it is up to them to obtain them if they were lost in the mail. i think next time that they call say " look this is harassment next time u call ill call the cops" usually its threatening enough, but if not either call the cops and tell them the situation, or with some telephone companies you can get certain numbers blocked from calling you, so maybe give Ur telephone provider a call and see whats available to you.

hope that's helped

Answer 3

Hi try to get your vet to write a small letter for you...call them & make sure you have the correct address & code...put in in the mail with a return address so there is no reason for it to get lost at all...Just leave it at that & let them know after that point that you are not open to any further contact & tell them that you will leave the issue with a lawyer if they carry on harassing you...

Answer 4

quit answering the phone. If you gave her the number of the vet it is up to them to get the records. Did she pay for the shots or did she just sell him to you so that you could get the shots and then take him back. The only other thing besides a restraining order I could think of is to leave her number w/ the vet and see if they will call her.

Answer 5

Explain the card was sent then give them the vet's name & address so THEY can take responsiblility for THEIR pet. You can call the vet's & let them know the animal has changed owners & a copy needs to be collected for the new owner's records. Your job & responsibility is done.

Answer 6

mail it certified mail.

They may be experiancing problems with e-mails, accounts, etc.
The puppies health may be jepordized without the infor.

I don't think they would pester you for entertainment.

Try the human society. You will get a history of the pet and wont have to return it.

My pets have all been others rejects. My current mut is used in catalogs, photoshoots, ads, she loves the attention and really digs the studio, hard to believe this smart dog wasn't wanted.

Answer 7

If you purchased a pet from someone,had it vet checked and vaccinated,tell this person they can call the vet you used and they will give them a copy of its' records with your permission.Also after doing that if they still keep harressing you,tell them if they call back again,you will have them arrested for phone harrassment,and follow through with doing so.

Answer 8

Get their vet's name and fax number. Tell your vet the dog has a new owner, and ask your vet to fax the info directly to their vet with the new owner's name on the records. If that doesn't work, I'd ignore them.

Answer 9

you could try sending them another copy of the vets card via cerrtified mail, that way they have to sign for it at the po. Then you have proof you have sent it and after that if they continue to pester you tell them you are seeking legal counsel,Sounds like these are not people to do business with they are wishy-washy. Good luck

Answer 10

Wow. You are definately the bigger person here. You did NOT have to give the puppy back and you did. They should not teach their kid that he can have anything he wants by being sad and crying about it. They should teach him skills to deal with his sadness. You have done your part. Tell them you've had enough and are going to get a restraining order on them. You dont have to actually do it but just telling them you are, that should help them realize they are actually harrassing you.
