Police confiscate Dudley grandmother's dog - and court tells her to pay £457 to get him back
Pensioner appeals for help to pay kennel fees after court rules puppy can go home following dangerous breed investigation
A Dudley grandmother has been presented with a £457 bill to get her seized puppy back from a police kennel - and has been told he will be put to sleep if she does not pay by early January.
Christine Liddy’s 15-month-old pit bull-Staffordshire terrier mix, Jazz, was taken on October 22 over fears that the dog was a banned or dangerous breed, and impounded for three weeks.
However, a Birmingham Magistrates’ Court hearing on November 7 ruled that Jazz was safe and would be able to go home. But first Mrs Liddy must pay a £457 fee, which she says she cannot afford.
Mrs Liddy, 51, said: “He’s a gorgeous pet and he’s never bit anybody. He never did anything wrong.”
She believes that Jazz was reported to police by a concerned neighbour.
Her daughter, Claire Liddy, has put together a Gofundme page for Jazz in a bid to raise the funds to pay the bill and bring the pup home.
The court rule the dog is safe, which means that the police confiscated a dog that they shouldn't have, should someone be made to pay for their mistake?
Admittedly she is a yam yam, but even so :21:
