Ridiculous legal situation, I hope that something is worked out, but the law can be a real ass, as they say. I remember Mum mentioning a vet that used to work near the shelter she worked at, and he'd get some real idiots come in to have their dogs put to sleep for no real reason other than they'd gotten bored with it, or just didn't want it anymore, and usually they didn't want the body back, so he'd take them into another room, say the job was all done, and then send the dog to the shelter to be rehomed.
I doubt that sort of thing would fly in todays legal society though...
