Is OTHER wrong in the post ? POST : So we found a dog around a month and a half ago. It was a very energetic social dog we'll call "Levi." So we took Levi to PetSmart to see if she had a chip and she did! They contacted the owner but could not get in touch with them. Left multiple messages and we ended up just taking Levi in for the time being. 

Now, Levi is a very energetic dog and when she was in the backyard she ended up running away. We were worried and looked and found her in an animal shelter. They had also contacted the owners, but once again, no replies. So after a week of her being in the shelter we decided to foster Levi until we could find a better home suited for her (we aren't home enough to properly exercise her for hours like her breed requires). So we've been fostering her for about two to three weeks now, and a couple days ago, she escaped and ran away again. A woman found her, and called the owners (just like we did), only this time, they responded and picked her up.

So we decided to contact them to ask about seeing Levi (and making sure she was in a good home, since we felt like the owners did not GAF about her and could've been mistreating her). Today we went and we saw her tied to a tiny post in the backyard, with the backyard fence broken. We were pretty pissed off since it's 50 degrees and raining right now, so we asked one of the kids to bring her inside. We gave them the dog food, leash, collar, etc. and were going to drive off when Levi ran off. We chased her and put her back in our car, but the more we think about it the less we want to give her back to her owner. 

The owner is a woman with 4 kids who lives in a house with roommates and apparently puts Levi outside in the backyard often. We told her we won't give her back unless she goes through the official adoption process and pays the $100 to adopt her back, since we are legally fostering her right now. I feel like she will refuse to pay the $100 because up until now she has had no regard for where Levi was this past month and a half and did not even pick up her calls about her.

I feel like she changed her mind about owning Levi and suddenly wanted her back. We are taking her home with us and gave her the shelter's contact info in case she wants to officially adopt her, but right now I am furious at how dirty and cold Levi is. She is shivering. AITA? I feel bad since we made her kids cry right before Thanksgiving and basically took their dog away.

TLDR: We took back the dog we were keeping for a month and a half from the original owners since they didn't seem to be taking care of her. Made kids cry before Thanksgiving
