QUESTION
I purchased a puppy on Saturday. The owner wants the dog back. What are my rights?
Asked on Jul 21st, 2014 on Animal Law - Florida
More details to this question:
The owner gave up the dog because their older dog was not accepting the new puppy. We stated discussing rehoming the puppy on July 14th. I paid $300 for the puppy and have a receipt which includes the date, puppy name and price. Her husband is now calling and texting me demanding the dog back. They have my work address but not my home. I promised her pictures but my phone has not been working so he said I have not completed my part of the agreement. I do not want to return the puppy.

The practical answer is to give the dog back and get your refund. While you may well have legal grounds to keep the puppy, you will likely spend more money and emotional expense dealing with the confrontation.
