My 'friend' left her her dog with me too long, so I took it to a shelter. Was I wrong?

Im 35 female, I have a friend, 32 female, who asked me to dog sit her poodle for 2 weeks while she was on vacation with her husband. I had some rough batches with this friend before, but she paid me before had to take care of her dog, and my house is big, so I agreed.

I really like dogs, I had many throughout the years, and now I have one good golden boy named Dorado.

But I really hated this dog, peed everywhere, was destructive, picked up fights with Dorado, felt entitled to my food while having a full bowl untouched, and even shitted on my bed. Out of all the places he could shit, decided to shit on MY BED.

After 2 weeks, I called my friend, expecting her to be back in town and come get her little monster back. She never answered, no text, no social media, nothing. After trying to reach her on Instagram, I got BLOCKED.

I waited, waited for her to appears in front of my door, but that never happened. I called her husband, also ghosted me. After 10 days of being ghosted, I had enough, went to a shelter, and dropped the dog there. They won't accept pet dogs into the shelter, so I said it was a stray dog.

I finally had peace at home, and one week later, my friend called me, saying that she was coming back for her dog. I blow up at her, asking where the hell she was, and that I got tired of waiting, so I dropped the dog at a shelter.

She started fighting with me over the phone, saying that it was unfair, that I was putting her dog on danger, and that I could just have waited a little longer. I sent her the shelter address, and some days later, she said that was going to sue me because she had to buy her dog back (this shelter doesn't sell dog, maybe she was charged an adoption fee).

She is making my life so much more dramatic right now, maybe I should have waited a few more weeks? Was I wrong for what I did?

NTA- if this is real. But please make sure you DID NOT drop the dog at a no kill shelter. because even if you don’t like him, he shouldn’t die. block her right away also

Fantastic-Honeydew65 OP responded:

It was a no kill. I know this shelter. They only euthanize really sick and already dying dogs.

One time I was baby sitting a kid for about two weeks. When the parents were supposed to pick him up, they vanished and blocked me on all forms of communication. Finally 10 days after the pick up date I called CPS and the kid was taken away. My friend reached about a few days later and blew up at me.

Does this help? NTA

So NTA. You agreed to 2 weeks. She took 2 weeks + 17 days to come get it. More than twice the agreed time. They ghosted you.

So NTA. Let her take you to court. Print out all of the texts and emails you and they sent. Then counter sue for the damages the dog caused, food, boarding (say $50/day after the initial 2 weeks) + court fees. Slam dunk case in small claims court, if you ask me.

Block them on all social media, your phone, your email, and your life. They are users. They just wanted an extra 17 days without that terror.

I was about to say Y T A but after finishing it and it was OVER A WEEK before she was coming back yeah NTA. She paid you for 2 weeks nothing more and she had you BLOCKED, she knew what she was doing. Save screenshots of everything, even call logs. Let her take you to court and then counter sue.

I might even have been as petty as to ask for more money, due to the extra 10 days of dogsitting and the need to sanitize the house, bed and the need for new bedding, sheets, etc.
