Payment for the Care of Dogs

The Appelate Administrative Court of Gothenburg (Kammarrätten i Göteborg) has ruled in a case on the payment of dogs that were taken care of by the authorities. It was a judgment on the 18 February 2025 in case no 4521-24. The dogs had been seized by the authorities, because their human did not take proper care of them. The human then did not want to pay for the care that the authorities gave the dogs. The Court decided that the human had to pay for the care of his dogs. It was a high amount of money, but this was to a large extent due to the human herself, who had taken a lot of time to complain about the caretaking, instead of rectifying her ways to get the dogs back. 

We agree with the court, it is the human who should pay for the care that others give her dogs. We only hope it all turns out for the best for the dogs, the judgment does not say anuåything about this.
