More details to this question:
My ex took our dogs when he left since I had our kids and I could not bring them to our rental. He brought them back to LV with a girlfriend and when he cheated on her, she took them in October 2013. She contacted me and promised to give them back. A friend offered to board them since I could not bring them to my rental. But when I asked for them back and she was resistant and asked for the dogs microchip numbers. I refused. They are chipped in my name. It has been over a year since I last texted her and asked for the dogs. My ex told our kids he filed something with small claims court. It is believed he never did. I filed a motion among other things and I was awarded the dogs. How can I get them back? Could I go to her house with a police escort with their ID cards and get them back? I am afraid if I sue her, she will hide the dogs. I never wanted to give them up. My kids miss them terribly.

Multiple lawyers to this question, starting with:
Is there any record of ownership of the dogs (they are considered property under NV law).
Is there any record of you being awarded the dogs (you said you "filed a motion," but did not say where or when)?
If you have a NV court order saying that the dogs are your property, you could and should discuss this with the police and consider the escort/pick up you mention. If not, you should discuss the matter with the police anyway, and if they will not assist with whatever you do have, you should consider domesticating it in NV. Time is not your friend here -- a passage of years looks a lot like acquiescence.
