TL:DR
Grandma's fam lowkey yeeted her dog, Chloe, to a shelter 'cause she couldn't handle it. She tried to get the dog back and even wanted $3k for feels, but the tribunal said she's gotta cope. Shelter did what they thought was best. Big oof.
The Deets
Okay, so boom. This elderly woman, Edith Carroll, had a dog named Chloe. She adopted Chloe back in October 2023, and they were vibin'. But, she started having trouble getting around, and the fam was like, "Uh oh, this ain't it." So, a family member, we'll call them "K," took Chloe to the Victoria Humane Society. K signed the dog over, like they were the owner, claiming they were Chloe's owner on medical records, even brought all the dog's stuff with them - the shelter folk had no sus. She was in pain and had dental work required.
Fast forward, Edith is big sad and wants Chloe back. She even tries to sue for $3,000 for all the feels, straight up asking for bread for the pain. But the B.C. Civil Resolution Tribunal was like, "Hold up." They looked at all the receipts and were like, "Nah, fam, the shelter did nothing wrong." Edith's husband agreed that it was best to let her go to the shelter too.
Turns out, Edith was even thinking about rehoming Chloe herself before K stepped in, she even emailed to cancel a dental appointment. The tribunal basically said the shelter acted in good faith and shut down her case. Major L for Edith, but at least Chloe got her teeth fixed and has a new home now.
