What is the name of your state? Arizona


I had a best friend of 8 years, and I recently received a beautiful puppy for Christmas and I could no longer keep her where I am at. So I turned to my best friend and asked if I could keep her there. However before my puppy was taken to her house, my grandma, my friend, and I sat down and discussed a verbal agreement that I could keep her there until I have a place of my own OR better arrangements.(not that of my friend) AND if I bought her dog food, toys,walked her frequently , and her shots. I kept up with my end of the agreement and when I found a better placement closer to me, I went for my dog and she refused to hand over my dog! So when I go to small claims court will the 3rd party in the agreement (grandma) be good evidence? and If not What could also be added in?

P.S. Thanks for any advice given

witnesses

:) From what i always hear you should bring all evidence including anyone who was there to substanuate your claim. I would also bring the food bills. Because that would prove that you were buying dog food and why would you buy dog food if you don't have a dog. Maybe someone else on the board with more knowledge has some ideas. That just what i think.

Small claims won't get you your dog back. You will only be able to recover the actual value of the dog and/or (possibly) the amount of money that you can prove you spent on food, etc.
