i like the advice about contacting vets. while i do not believe they can return your puppy, i do think they can call the cops and say i have a stolen puppy notice here, i think i have the puppy and a person who matches who they say stole it, can u come and check it out? and be sure to include your local pd nbr or the attorney you contacted about it and that way if someone sees the puppy and the guy, they have all the contact information to the people you contacted.
again, good luck

I'd give them a couple days to check on it, never remember a time where I didn't get the cash.

Little update, went to police dept. they told me my best bet is with the prosacuting attorney. Should be able to get felony charges against the guy. Last address I was able to find was for 2 months ago. Don't think I'll be getting my pup back but I hope this jerk thinks its worth it to get another # on his record. Both the police and the prosacuting attorney knew his name so am not worried about him getting arrested. I'll be at thier office tomorrow morning giving them the rest of my paper work. Nothing worse than a low life thief!

Good luck getting it prosecuted. Place I worked at for a while supplied restaurants (second highest business failure rate), averaged at least two bad checks a week. Couple places had written bad checks for thousands of dollars. We cut them off and they'd do the same thing to the next supplier. Not once did I ever see a person go to jail for writing a bad check. They'd get at most a suspended sentence and where supposed to pay restitution but the only way you got it was by garnishing a paycheck or seizing bank accounts. There's nothing in it for the county when they prosecute for bad checks, so don't expect much.
