Legal Question in Criminal Law in Minnesota

How do I get my little dog back from a lady who I sold her to and then brought h

I sold 2 dogs and the lady broughtt hem back 2 mos later saying she was evicted. I gave one to my cousin with her word she's pay 3-05. i never told the lady when i'd pay her or how much i'd pay her for the dogs. i said i had an unpaid internship job at the PD and had no money. she said whenever i had the money to pay her. a month or so later she called demanding money. i said i still had none and just became POST certified so i could look for a job. she came a week or 2 later and snatched the other dog away from me, cussing in front of my friends from out of town and my 3 and 5 year old. i told them to leave my home they refused, made threats to ruin my career, and i wrote to her telling her if she comes back she will be removed from my property. she wrote to me telling me she was taking me to court and she made false claims of child neglect and animal cruelty! she also called the PD asking questions about my job there! help me please! i want my dog back that she snatched from me. we had no set date that i would pay nor did we have any set amount. how can i go about doing this? this isn't a civil matter is it? can she be doing all this to me?

What you have described does sound like a civil matter - do you owe her money; if so, how much, and when is it due? Your description does not sound like a police officer or prosecutor would be interested in it. Perhaps you could get help from a lawyer who does civil claims, or try small claims court.
