THIS ADD WAS POSTED ABOUT AN HOUR AGO

I had to sell my german shephard goldie mix a while ago. It was back in August. Her name was Layla and I cant seem to find the contact info for her. If I sold her to you or you know who it is please contact me ASAP. I would really appreciate it. I'm not trying to get her back I am just looking for her. Thank you so much.

Atleast they are trying 

I talked to her and she had change of heart. Before she wouldn't bother to help me in anyway. But even if she didn't sign the contract (her husband did) she understands now that I at least had the right to know where Laylah is. 

If she knows when it was that person can go through their detailed call/text list on the bill. Most places go back 1 year. She should be able to find the out of place number.. 

Great idea Megan! I'm going to talk to the husband since she told me she's no longer with his phone carrier but he still is and should have that info. I already understood that they are not supposed to talk to eachother so I offered to go see him myself and explain.

The wife started getting upset saying, leave him without this, he didn't do anything. I told her I'm not going to be hostile I'll just explain it might actually help find her easier and if he's in his power to do so then I would really like to. So then she writes this to me and I don't know about anybody else but this seemed so WRONG on so many levels I can't even understand what practical person would do this if she's infact telling the truth. This is what she writes me, I'm copying and pasting because I want to know if I'm reading this right?

He wasnt here when i had to get rid of Layla.



J--------- W---------

Thats the point. He has no idea where she is. He wasnt here. She bit me and he told me to get rid of her. While at the park she liked a little boy and now they have her.

ME:

She bit you and you gave her to a little boy...
---------------------------------------

Okay, now my dog hasn't bitten people before but from time to time she does nip not hard whatsoever when she gets kind of excited, so if what she's telling me is true that means she passed a dog that bites onto a family with an innocent child. Okay am I the only one that actually see something wrong with that?? 

The other weird part of this is that she told me she's not anywhere near Washington and she's divorcing her husband thats why she had to leave in August. but her bookoo account has stuff recently posted for sale..... uh yeah, can't make sense of that either. 

maybe i am remembering wrong, but didnt you say he sold the dog on bookoo?

who gives their dog to a random person at the park just cause their kid liked it?
i dont understand why she would be at the park with it if it were aggresive towards her, since that is against the rules. doesnt sound like she cares about rules though.

if she cant have contact with him, how did he tell her to get rid of the dog?
if he did tell her to get rid of it, he would know when the dog was disposed of and be able to check the phone records for you. 

i just noticed her stats. 14 things posted in pets. 

a lot of things don't add up

The wife sold the dog. The OP (who is Laylah's dog sitter and trainer) copied the ad. Tried to warn me but I didn't receive the message. What actually really upsets me about that part is the same month she posted her for sale I messaged her asking how she was doing.

The wife probably also sold all the pet things I gave her that were supposed to be returned back to me along with the dog, it was put in the contract. I gave her at least $200 worth of stuff.

To be honest, I can't rely on her to be able to find her. I have to talk to her husband 

ok, i couldnt remember from your op.

how nice of her to sell the dog for 100 and not include any of its things. sounds to me like she wanted money and there was no problem with the dog other than it wasnt with someone that wanted to love it forever.

i hope you find her and she is with a good family now. 

Okay I edited that, because I meant to type she -probably- sold all that stuff. Her story none of it adds up, she also kept saying that she "tried" to give her back to me and I wouldn't take her back when in fact she never did and she made absolutely no attempt to! All of my messages with her are on facebook which records everything. I kept telling her I don't know why you keep saying that when conversations like that never transpired between us, the last time I talk to you I talked about going over to your house to bring you her kennel incase I move and I'll pay to ship her to me and that was in July a month before she sold her. She responded back with "okay that sounds good, you can come by this weekend".

I don't know if she's just a really bad lair or extremely delusional, I don't know the woman so I can't make sense of anything she says. But holy hell, is it ever frustrating talking to her! I don't normally come across people quite like this, so I'm not sure how to deal with this type of situation... 

Did you maybe think she had the dog put down if she claims the dog bit her? If none of her story adds up, just straight out ask her if she had Laylah put to sleep and she's just too ashamed to tell you about it. Selling the dog does sound better than having to tell you she had her put down. Maybe call around to local vet places asking if they had a dog put down under the name Laylah. Just a thought, especially since if the dog was sold on bookoo, you would think someone would come forward by now if someone had the dog or would have seen it. Seems like everyone knows everyone and none of it makes sense. 

All of this weirds me out. i have been reading your posts since the first time you discussed this. The main thing that bothers me is the owner you sold her to should just tell the truth. You love the dog and aren;t going to let it go. Maybe you should just offer her the reward money if she can actually prove her story. Seriously in our time now, how could the women not know any information regarding where the dog is? name, phone number, texts, emails, and etc to help locate. If she sold the dog on bookoo old messages, usermame anything that could help.
I don't know that woman's side of the story is but this needs to be solved. 

I also wanted to add you came on strong in the beginning about finding your dog. Maybe she is scared your going to sue her or something. Hopefully you two can piece it together and find some solution to work together. maybe through the ex you might find out more of the story. 

Did you maybe think she had the dog put down if she claims the dog bit her?

I don't think this is the case, considering that at first she was extremely rude about the whole situation. She made no attempt to spare my feelings. I honestly think she's just trying to find other means of justification of why she did what she did. But now I'm really worried not for Laylah actually but if she did infact bite her, there is a child involved now who could potentially be indanger as much as i love my dog, I would never put her above a child's safety.


I also wanted to add you came on strong in the beginning about finding your dog.

Agreed, I panicked at first. I can't seem to understand how she doesn't have anything at all either. 

Maybe she is scared your going to sue her or something.

I actually took the time to carefully write out the contract, I have three cousins who are lawyers. The one that helped me write it specialized in civil court issues. The are no stated repruccions of what would happen if they violated the contract. I purposely left that one out for the main reason is in the contract it clearly states that once they take ownership and sign this they are "responsible for her well being" my cousin told me that is the important key factor in that contract. Even if they breached three other things it doesn't matter they actually have some legal rights to it on the conditions of this:

If they did accidentally rehome her, it becomes null and void once they are able to locate her exact location, who has her and she infact SAFE. The only way that contract would hurt them is if they give her away and don't know who has her or where she is and they cannot verify in anyway that she hasn't been harmed. I had to explain the wife her rights and the actual legalities of this. Against the advices of my cousins who told me to just take her to court. But honestly its more important I find her then try to make a civil suit of this even if I'm all in my rights to win. If I take them to court, the court will force them to try to find the dog and they would have to pay a penalty for not being able to if they can't successfully locate her. 

I posted this on bookoo, I'm hoping they'll see it...



I have to apologize for the first time I posted looking for her. Looking back now, I realize I came on frantically too strong. I wasn't aware Laylah had been rehomed two months already when I found out. I wasn't panicked at the time, I figured "its okay she's microchipped, if she ends up with a family she'll be fine and if she ends up in a shelter they'll call us to let us she's there". Before posting to look for her, I called shelters around to see if they maybe came across a dog matching her description, this is when I found out that not every shelter scans for microchips for surroundered dogs just for ones lost. I went into mad panic mode thinking "Omg! That means she could be euthnized and no one would have even checked to see if she belonged to anyone else!, it's been two months she could be dead already for all I know!". Yes those were the thoughts plaguing me when I started posting my search for her. In all honesty I just need some peace of mind to know she's okay, I have no idea where she is. As you can imagine we spent three years loving her and she was nothing but good to us. She scared away people breaking into my home when it was just me and my baby alone during a black out on post.

An animal control officer was made aware of the situation. I don't know if you understood that you guys didn't do anything wrong especially nothing criminally wrong. If an animal officer were by chance to locate you, I gave him a letter I signed and dated in writing stating that my family won't harrass you, won't demand to see the dog and if you have terms and agreements you want us to abide by so you can feel like you're not dealing with an eccentric family by all means we'll agree!

When the other family that contracted to have her had her we never went to go visit. We felt it would have been an intrusion on their privacy, not fair to them and not fair to the dog for us to impose like that. So we really don't want to force ourselves into your life, we really don't, I hope that's not what you're thinking because honestly who would ever want or agree to something like that its beyond inapproperiate.

As you can see from all those poor pets that are posted for sale on here, they get bounced from home to home. We didn't want that for Laylah. We just want that peace of mind to know she's actually with someone, and to offer that option that we could be there to take her back at anytime incase of circumstances where she couldn't be with you anymore. I honestly don't know what else to say other than I'm sorry, and I hope you can find it in your heart to let us know she's loved and okay. If she is here somewhere and a fake email isn't much comfort because it could be someone that's trolling telling us that they have her...

My friends and family got word that Laylah was missing so they offered to generously add $300 to our $100 reward. So that's $400 for anyone to come forward. If you are the family that has her, I'd rather give that money to you. I know you paid to get her which actually upsets me because the contract family didn't pay a penny for her and I even covered 1 grooming and 1 vet visit. So the idea that they made money off of her when they didn't even pay anything for her makes me think wow that's kind of shady. 

oh, How I hope the new owners would contact you!!!
