Dublin, CA asked in Animal / Dog Law for California

Q: We sold a our little puppy 5 days ago. Can we get him back?

We sold our puppy 5 days ago. We realized that it wasn’t the right decision after 3 hours of selling it to the family. I gave them a call, except they said they will not be giving him back to me. I have had him for 5 weeks and have all of his vet records and everything. What can I do to get him back? The people are not willing to communicate.

I do have anxiety and can get a doctors note stating that the puppy was helping my condition.
