Your best bet would be to contact a lawyer. If he says the contract is
valid, and you can prove that the animals that eventually made their way
back to you after the adopter signed the contract is the animal that was
adopted (does your group micro chip the animals?), you would probably have a
case - but action - small claims court?

I work with a rescue group that has a contract signed by all
adopters. One clause states that if the animal is disposed of for any
reason it *must* come back to our group. We've had several instances
recently of people simply giving away animals they've adopted from us.
In three cases. the animals found their way back to us via third
parties. We would like to take action against the adopters who
violated their contracts. Is such a thing feasible?
