I live in California. I am going to be 18 years old next month and I have had a dog for 6 plus years. She was a gift to me to become my "therapy dog" for the time I suffered critical depression and anxiety. I plan on moving out when I turn 18, and I am more than capable of providing proper care and needed supplies for this dog. My mother refuses to let me take the dog with me. I have not paid for the dog, as I was a minor with no job in the past. Can I still legally take the dog because of the emotional attachment and the purpose she served me?
