808-877-3680 Maui human society
Maui Human Society is WELL AWARE OF what they did was completely wrong in so so so many ways . And I want every single animal lover in this world to see this and read my story , Hoping that the Maui human society NEVER does this again! The way I was treated by them hung up on , avoided, not to mention Bridget who is in charge of pet Adoptions for Maui human society was well aware of my situation. The first time I had spoken to her she had informed me to be on stand by waiting for her call back telling me all the information I needed to travel to Oregon to get my dog back . A week had passed she had never called me back with the information she had said she would be finding out I’m order for me to get Ziggy back . She avoided my calls all week , aswell as every single person I spoke with when calling trying to get in touch with Bridget who now is on vacation and each time I would call either they would not give me any information in regards to my dog , they also would hang up on me , or connect me directly to Bridget’s voice mail . Who eventually called me back to very rudely say your dog is gone he has been adopted. Goodbye. I called her back a couple days later for her to rudely tell me the only way I will ever get any documentation on MY dog is having a lawyer subpoena all documents on my dog!!
No response is being provided since the complainant has already hired an attorney who has subpoenaed our records.
I had NO OTHER CHOICE then to hire an attorney!!!!! I will get my dog back!!! What Bridget did at Maui Human Society is terrible!!! All the lies she told me!!!!
Maui human society needs to make this right !! Who knows how many other people have had this happened to them . Bridget is the one who who handles pet adoptions and she did nothing but completely lie to me !! The first day I had called Maui human society and finally she returned my phone call hours later to inform me to me on stand by and that my yellow lab Ziggy was in Oregon, she then informed me she would be in contact with me the next day to let me all of the details, well I never heard back from her , I had called every single day asking to speak to her and i was given nothing but the run around, not to mention was treated extremely rude either they would immediately cut me off in the middle of speaking to them and hang up on me, I would call back and every time was transferred to her VM!! I also was told she was out of the office on vacation. The next day Bridget finally returns my phone call to rudely tell me , plans changed , your dog has been adopted by a family , I was so shocked I could not even believe this , I started asking her questions and she very rudely says to me I’m done speaking to you , your dog has been adopted. I then told her I needed all of my dogs records, she very rudely says to me , Then hire an attorney and have your attorney supeona them and then she hung up on me. I called back the next day to speak to her supervisor and they informed she is the supervisor and she is on vacation for the next week and once again I was hung up on. Within an hour of thst phone call I hired an attorney, who called Maui human society to speak with her , he left her a vm , and not even 15 minutes later returned his call!!! My attorney supeoned MY dogs records which they had records going back from April when Ziggy was neutered there, they had several other records, and My attorney received a response from Maui human society’s lawyer stating that they only have one record n the dog name Ziggy and thst he was flown to the mainland to Oregon. Another complete lie ,I have several documents from Maui human society. And there lawyer comes back saying they have no other documentation or records in regards to my dog. I want Maui human society to stop lying, I want this Bridget who is the supervisor so she says , and who was also 100% responsible for putting my dog up for adoption, had him flown to the mainland, when I had every single day for 7 days my friends and my ex who is registered as Ziggys legal owner, and Ziggy is regeristerd by his microchip through pet link and Maui human society would not release the dog to him after several attempts Maui human society had him escorted off of there property that was the same day not even an hour later Ziggy was flown to Oregon human society, this is completely illegal what they have done and they need to make this right , Bottom line my dog was put up for adoption completely illegally, not to mention by law the dog should have been released to my ex , being the legal owner and Maui human society new this they also had the paperwork that listed Ziggys Microchip was charged indeed registered to my ex. I want answers, I want to know WHY the dog was not released to my ex , I also want to know who took it upon themselves to send my dog to Oregon human society, I want answers, and I will not stop until I get them , I demand the return of my dog , and I will continue to have my attorney continue this case , I will not stop until my dog is returned!! I find it very interesting that Maui human society has nothing to say in response to this case other then they informed me to hire an attorney and why is that?? Everything in regards to what they did is completely illegal in not just one aspect but several!
My story
Maui human society needs to return my dog immediately after they put my dog up for an illegal adoption and I have all records exposing Maui human society and all the laws they have broken!! I have no problem going forward with this and exposing everyone at Maui human society that is involved in this. This is pure corruption at its finest!! I will not let this go!!!
This boils down to a very simple narrative.
Your dog Ziggy was handed in to Maui Humane Society, presumably as lost. Ziggy had been microchipped and neutered by the Maui Humane Society itself, so they knew the dog had an owner, and who that owner was.
You were not able to pick up the dog yourself, but your ex-boyfriend was listed as co-owner. That should have been good enough for releasing the dog to him, but even if not, presumably you gave your authorization for he or your other friends to pick up Ziggy, given that, for whatever reason, you were unable to pick the dog up yourself. Maui Humane Society nevertheless adopted the dog out to another family.
Companion animals are considered to be property, but the courts are recognizing more and more that they are worth far more than any monetary value. They are part of a family and usually very dear to their owners; courts often consider the best interests of the animal in custody issues.
Maui Humane Society would have had the right to adopt Ziggy out elsewhere if you had not reclaimed him within a certain time frame; however, you apparently attempted to do so multiple times. If paperwork was needed, you should have been informed of that. The only other reason for failing to release him would be if there were evidence of abuse; however, the court would have to have been involved if so, and you'd know about it.
I do not understand Maui Humane Society's actions at all, and unfortunately they have declined to state their side of the story.
Absent any other mitigating facts, I can only say that Maui Humane Society should take care of getting Ziggy back to you. It is unfortunate for the other family, but that's life.
