California Lemon Laws for puppies

We recently got a puppy from a pet store, please im tired of people ragging on me for it so please dont, and we noticed that the day after we got him, he wasnt right. It ended up that he had severe lobar pneumonia. We treated him right away, but it just kept getting worse. We ended up making a deal with the pet store that they would take him back and get him better, pay for him to get better then turn him back over to us when he was 100% healthy. A vet (that has a contract with the pet store) said he was 100% so we took him home. Its been a week and a half and we noticed that his nose was runny again so we took him in today. He is still sick!! We contacted the pet store and told them this and said the dog wasnt 100% that we think we should get a refund, they said no, talk to your attorney, we have already paid enough for him. I dont want to give them my dog but this doesnt seem fair! Does anybody know anything, laws, anything that could help us??

When a Dog Is a Lemon

The odds of getting a sick animal at a pet shop are disturbingly high. Here's what to do if it happens to you.

It was love at first sight: Those expressive brown eyes, that noble nose . that wagging tail.

Lots of otherwise level-headed people fall head-over-heels for a puppy displayed in a pet store window. They may have gone to the mall to buy shoes, but end up taking home a considerably pricier item, a purebred puppy that costs several hundred dollars, upkeep not included.
