please please read this and help in any way that you can!
my mother's ex-husband gave away my brother and sister.
this is teddy and cheyenne(cropped):
![]()
they are half brother and sister. we got teddy as a puppy from a breeder in CT, 5 years ago. we adopted cheyenne at the same time, she was 2, she had been returned to the breeder from her first family.
these dogs are our heart and soul, my little brother and sister, spoiled rotten and loved to pieces.
my mother and her ex got divorced three years ago. in the agreement, it was stated that the dogs would live with the ex "when his living situation allows". and until then, that they would remain with us, he would pay half the expenses for them, and that when they did go to live with him, we would retain legal visitation rights.
for the past three years, the ex has not paid expenses on the two dogs, has not made any effort to fence his yard, has not enforced his rights for the dogs, and even relinquished his rights by letting my mom move them to tennessee from ct(however, that fell through, as my mom's house didn't sell for 2 years!)
the only contact he had with them was to dog-sit occasionally when we were out of town, and even then he complained about it.
barely 2 months ago, Aug 31st, my mom's house finally sold. she had a quick closing and didn't have time to find a new place before we had to vacate.
she moved in with a friend of hers, in a 3 bedroom house, with 4 adults. not to mention my grandmother's two english bulldogs and 6 puppies on the way!
my mother asked the ex to please watch the dogs at his home(still no fenced yard), until she found a new home and could take them back.
a month later, he called and said we would have to take the dogs. that they were too inconvenient for him, and that we were taking too long to find a new house.
he gave us until Oct 29th to pick up the dogs.
two weeks after the first phone call, he called again and said he had found a new family for the dogs. my mom said she would pick them up that day.
he said no. he said he was doing what was best for the dogs.
a week later, we found out the dogs had already been placed with a new family, with the help of our breeder.
we have attempted contact with the breeder, trying to make her understand that the dogs HAVE a home with us, we NEVER would even entertain the thought of giving them away. those are our babies and i would go hungry and homeless before i would get rid of them.
we contacted a lawyer, but may not even be able to do anything because of that one line in the divorce agreement!
due to our legal visitation rights, if he doesn't provide us with the information of the dogs' location we are able to hold him in contempt of court, along with the breeder, and bring them to court.
he even had the audacity to ask for a "reasonable amount of time" to pay her back for the vet bills!!!!!!!! when he never gave us a reasonable amount of time to get the dogs back!!!!! we had them for 3 years on our own, and he couldn't handle them for 2 months!!!!!!!!!!
can you believe this evil man?????
he doesn't want the dogs, he just doesn't want US to have them. he is only doing it to hurt us.
if you can think of ANYTHING or if you have SEEN teddy and cheyenne, PLEASE HELP US!!!!
we want our dogs back and we will stop at NOTHING to get them!!! Please pass their photo around, tell your friends, ask your family member who's a lawyer! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE HELP US!
i am crying hysterically thinking that i will never see my babies again, that i will never know if they are safe, or happy or if they are scared and confused.
if you have any heart, please help.

. BUT...it's not the breeders fault in this matter, it's the Ex's. If he is one of the owners of the pups, it seems that he would have the right to give them up.
