What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Pennsylvania
I am a dog breeder. I had a buyer purchase a puppy from me several months ago and return him due to a health issue on buyers part. I had them sign an agreement (we both signed it) that if I decide to sell the puppy I would give them the money I got back (minus vet fees while in my care) or if I decided to keep the puppy, no money is to be refunded. The contract states that it is at my discretion if I keep or sell the puppy. I decided to keep the puppy. The buyer is now threatening that if I don't give them back their money, they want the dog back. The puppy was returned to me and has been in my care for 5 months. Can the buyer legally get the puppy back since a contract was signed between the both of us?
