Medina, OH asked in Animal / Dog Law for Ohio

Q: Can I keep my puppy if I haven’t finished paying on them?

I’m pretty sure it was a puppy mill, we had to take her to an emergency vet and ya been there for the last 3 days! She was close to dying. This lady had 6 different types of puppies in one cage she was selling. Is there a way for us to keep her due to her saying she was healthy and well( which she isn’t) and not have to finish paying for her. This lady got her from a breeder in Ak, and she resold her to me, I’m guessing. Please I need help! I don’t want this horrible person taking my dog from us

A: It depends on the circumstances. From what you've said here, it does sound like you may be able to get out of paying the rest of the purchase bill and potentially recover the vet bills.
