In the second sentence, there is no conjunction.
<em>If</em> is a conjunction used to introduce the condition necessary for the event described in the independent clause to take place. The third option is incorrect because the events have already taken place. A correct option would be:<em> I will get a new puppy if I am responsible</em>.
