How do you take over ownership of a dog?
Establish your ownership rights through the following:

Can a body corporate force an owner to get rid of your pets?
The body corporate is not entitled to forcibly remove a pet from a person’s possession. The Body Corporate can therefore make an application to the CSOS to declare a dispute against the owner who has kept their pet in the scheme despite the trustees having withdrawn their permission.
Where do I take my dog if I can’t keep him?
You can surrender your dog by taking him to an animal shelter or rescue organization. It’s important to know what will take place once you relinquish your pet to a shelter or rescue and also to be aware that there are alternatives. Some facilities don’t allow walk-in surrenders and almost all charge a fee.
Do Rspca take unwanted pets?
We are a charity, with limited resources, and we need to ensure there are enough spaces in our centres to take in those animals most in need. Sadly, this means our centres aren’t always able to take in stray animals or pets no longer able to be cared for by their owners.
Are body corporate rules enforceable?
After issuing a contravention notice, the body corporate can enforce a by-law further by either lodging a dispute resolution application with the BCCM Office or seek to have a fine applied at the Magistrate’s Court. They do not deal with by-law enforcement.
Can trustees change conduct rules?
Contrary to popular belief it is not the trustees that make changes or amend rules. Trustees (or members) may propose changes but members still need to approve the proposed changes or amendments at a special general meeting. Once amended, all body corporate rules must be registered.
