My question involves animal law for the State of: MA
I recently sold a Great Pyranees to a woman. She gave me a down payment and the contract stipulated that she would then pay me $100 in 3 installments of which she has paid nothing.
Am I in my legal rights to reclaim the dog or do I need to go through small claims? I would strongly prefer to reclaim the dog especially after hearing from neighbors that the dog is either confined for hours at a time in a mudroom or on a 6 foot lead.
