Is a dog owner liable for damages to a boarding kennel when the dog was left in their care?

[Edit]

Answer

If you did not sign a contract mentioning any damage by your pet while in the care of the kennel owners, then they are the one's responsible for the damage. Their business is to care for your pet (and you pay for this service) and they simply didn't do their job. It sounds like you may have to go to small debts court, or possibly a lawyer if this kennel owner is going to "dog you." Pun intended! LOL

Good luck Marcy
