This is going to be long.

Sasha, my pitbull who as some of you know became pregnant, was stolen. My boyfriend and I were in a sticky situation moving into a new place and we needed someone to take care of her for a few days. My boyfriend was about to go to court and needed a babysitter for the day, but we also needed someone for a few days. A friend of a friend offered to take her at the courthouse in exchange for a puppy. He was hesitant but the friend of his (who he has known for 8 years) persuaded him that this was a guy he could trust. He left us his cell phone number.

We called pretty much every day and he hardly answered. When he did, he would say she was doing great and that he got her checked at the vet, and bought her this, and did that, etc etc. We asked to visit her and he would say we could then make some excuse to call us later and never pick up again.

I tried to go to the police in the town she was stolen in and they said they could not do anything since we did not live in that town. I called animal control and they also said they could not do anything even though that's where she was stolen.

She was due end of September, and I've posted multiple craigslist ads in hopes of finding her. I've gotten the worst of the worst calls and people saying she saw her walking down the street, malnourished, no collar, no owner, not bothering anyone even the kids who were playing in the street she walked right by.

Recently I've gotten more calls than ever. Someone on my facebook who I don't know but we've been friends online for awhile messaged me today saying she knows the girl who's been taking care of the puppies and she was trying to sell my dog. She knew this because she recognized the pictures I had of Sasha on my facebook and on my craigslist post. She gave me the link to the girl and I added her today. She has the puppies, and I messaged her saying, "Hey, I'm interested in a puppy, are they available" and she says "Hey! I'm sorry about ur dog! Billy is a skeez! I currently have no clue where sasha is other then somewhere in Somerville. he sold her as soon as he found out I knew the truth.

" I hid all my pictures of my dog so the only way she could have known I was looking for her/the puppies was if someone told her. I asked her for her phone number, and she replied, "I can't talk on the phone right now but I'd you have questions I can try to answer them. I hAve questions myself", to which I answered, "i cant talk on facebook i have questions i need answered on the phone and ill answer any of your questions." She signed off. I have gotten her phone number from a reliable source but I have not called her (the conversation I just posted was 30 minutes ago) because I want to be prepared going into this situation I want to say the right things and go about it the right way.

Call from 3 days ago, I believe its from the girl I added. When my boyfriend was calling the guy who kidnapped her daily, sometimes his girlfriend picked up. When I heard this message I woke my boyfriend up right away and he said that the voice was of the girlfriend and she was faking the story. I asked how positive he was that it was her voice and he said 100%, he knew that voice from anywhere.

It sounds sketchy and very unprofessional.

Now I don't know what to do, She insists she does not know Sasha's location. How do I go about this and can I write a police report if I was not at the location when Sasha was taken? I want my dog and the puppies back, but I know she has already sold one even though they're 2 and a half weeks old!

How do I go about getting Sasha back, or at least finding her and making sure she is in a stable home right now, and getting the puppies back?

The guy never gave us his address, every time we asked for it he made some excuse he had to go. The police also said they could not help with a name and cell phone number, they needed an address.

**Allbrunette** · 10-17-2011, 03:11 AM

Oh wow!!! I'm so sorry, I wish you the best of luck! I will send good vibes your way!

I'm sorry, I don't really have any legal advice, except try to call the police in YOUR town and being as you have the guy's (that was "babysitting" her) name and phone number, why don't you press charges?! I'm kinda confused as to why you didn't do that to start with? or maybe I just missed that part?

**forexsoft** · 10-17-2011, 03:16 AM

The police are full of fucking shit man, this made me fume just reading it. The dog is YOURS, and it's their job to help you get back what is YOURS. Is there any way that you can offer to pay this bitch for Sasha and her puppies? Jesus man, this post made me rage. You must have wonderful self control, because I would have cussed her up and down. Let me make sure I got this right: the man who watched her for you in the first place was a friend of a friend? Why not try contacting your friend again to get an address? Maybe I skipped something, if I did, sorry.

---------- Post added at 07:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:14 PM ----------

Who brought Sasha to this man that was watching her?

P.P.S.
Please do not tell me how terrible of a person I am for giving my dog to a stranger.. If I was there I would have NEVER let that happen, my boyfriend felt stuck and he made a bad decision but please don't pin his bad decision on me.

Wait, what...who said that? Definitely not me. Lol.

I'm trying to find out a way you can find out this mans address...who dropped Sasha off with him?

---------- Post added at 07:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:19 PM ----------

Just read what you wrote...man that is some shit. You have no idea at all where they might live? Maybe try to go through your mutual contacts. You said she is your boyfriend's friend's mother. Would your boyfriend's friend know an address? Or is she refusing to answer, too?

**Pataacculakp** · 10-17-2011, 03:50 AM

No, not you, people on craigslist have emailed me saying those things and making posts like that, so I wanted to say it in advance before anyone came to that conclusion.

We met him at the court house, he took him with her from the court house. We went to probation office but he's not on probation so they couldn't find him.

She is also refusing to get into it. People are too selfish saying "they don't want to get into a situation" or "they don't want their name in this" it's a dog, and since so many people are refusing to help there IS going to be a legal procedure.

**bug_user** · 10-17-2011, 04:00 AM

Have you spoken with a lawyer?

**Pataacculakp** · 10-17-2011, 04:58 AM

No, I really can't afford one.

**bug_user** · 10-17-2011, 04:59 AM

Most lawyers offer free consults.. Look around see if you can find a few and at least get some advice on what to do..

**kenowinnumberss** · 10-17-2011, 05:02 AM

Well, if you can't afford a lawyer, you don't have the paperwork and can't really prove it's your dog, and you can't find the asshole and beat his ass, you're screwed.

**Pataacculakp** · 10-17-2011, 05:04 AM

ok great, thanks. I don't even know how much they cost, I just know that financially things are tight right now.

At least talk to some.. You might pull a few heart strings and someone will want to help you out.

**forexsoft** · 10-17-2011, 05:17 AM

I am so sorry man. /: I hope the bitch that stole your dog has a change of heart...

Maybe you could get a friend to call and pretend to be interested in the puppies and ask to come see them?

**Rufio** · 10-17-2011, 05:31 AM

THIS IS AWFUL!!!! Please speak with some lawers. I can't believe this!!!

Man I would effing kill my BF if things don't work out to get her back. I can't believe no one will tell you the guy's address???!! WHAT on EARTH?! What kind of people is your BF friends with? Are they afraid of the guy or just total dicks?!

Apparently being a dick, and being rational, are often the same thing.

Uhm... go busts some fucking heads till you get answers. It works in real life,too. Not just the movies.

But violence is ILLEGAL.

**GDRussiayear** · 10-17-2011, 05:40 AM

The cops have better shit to do than get into the middle of some He-said-she said squabble. I'm not sure you have a case at all anyhow. Bottom line is you (or your BF) willing handed your dog over to that person. The police Will NOT see this as a stolen property issue.

i'll post it on here in a text format because i've reposted this ad 10 times today due to flagging and i dont know if its because of people on here.
No one knows the guys address, if I knew someone who knew him it would be different.
The friends of his are old friends, he grew up with them and recently came back to the area. He believed they would be loyal to him because they knew each other for so long but he doesn't understand that time doesnt equal loyalty.. people who used to be best friends of mine wouldn't do shit for me now, and he didn't think they would lie to him.

I have always found this to be true,Robyn.
