Okay, first of all...
google.com? Nevermind...
You have to tell him, you take care of the pet.
My daughter had this problem. She's thirteen, and she has a big issue with her chinchilla, and taking care of her Pomerian. (I really don't like her dog...)
I told her that if she didn't take care of them, I would tke all her pets away. When she still didn't respond to me, I started taking away items she need.
A.K.A- Ipod, Gameboy, Cell Phone, Internet Access (It drove her NUTS To have a computer, with no internet.), Phone in her room, Sleep Overs, Going to the movies, and other things. After about say, a couple months, she cracked.
One day, she actually started cleaning her room, taking care of her chinchilla's, feeding the dog, cleaning up after the dog, walking the dog, being nice to her brother, and even feeding MY HAMSTER.
I talked to her about it, when I was taking things away, and she finally changed. Right now, she is cleaning her room, WITH OUT BEING ASKED!
Good luck!

LOL.. he's a teenager. You can talk and yell until you are blue in the face and it probably still won't work. If he just absolutly will not take care of his pet, because to me a teenager is old enough to be responsible for a pet, then find it another home if you don't have time to take care of it..

If your child is not responsible for the pet and they generally aren't..you should of accepted the fact that when you got the pet for the child/family the responcibility would fall on the adults in the family...if they won't now...rehome the dog to a responsible adult pet owner.

If he is not willing to take care of his pet, he should not have one. It may be difficult to get rid of a family pet, but if he is not going to take responsibility and care for it, I would say give the pet up.

Make him watch Animal Precinct on Animal Planet to show him the consequences.
