He’s committed to this dog, and no disrespect to the dog, but for less money he could have bought the breed he wanted from a show breeder.

I don’t want to debate the merits of rescue dogs, I wanted to know if the lemon law applies to them.

A lot of times it dosen’t mean they will pay the bills it means they will take the dog back which would end up being the same if they had one for rescues. That’s another reason why if you are looking to rescue and can’t handle the bills of possible sick dog or one needing training that you should really check out the reputability of a rescue and the dog before jumping in.
