The dog belongs legally to your daughter. It's very sad and painful to hear that she won't take care of the dog, so I understand your desires to care for the dog yourself. Unfortunately, the dog is legally hers, and you cannot legally take the dog from her, unless, like someone said, animal abuse was called. Maybe on the plus side, once she's out of your home, she will be forced to care for the dog and walk the dog herself. Let's hope!!! If not, then you could call the animal abuse line and rescue the dog -- but you would have to be privvy to that information and have knowledge of whether she is actually caring for the dog. I feel so sorry for this poor animal. I hope your daughter takes greater responsibility when she moves out. Sometimes, that;'s all it takes is a wake up call to be out on one's own.
