Legal Question in Real Estate Law in California

2 years ago my bf and i adopted a dog artemis from a local shelter. he paid for it with his card. i ended up being the one taking care of him. well eventually we broke up and we decided to share him but i would have him most of the time we would have him for a week here and there. its been about a year since the break up. well i dont want to have to drive out of my way anymore to drop off my dog and came to the realization that he's not a child and i don't have to keep sharing him until he dies. so now that i nicely told my ex that we just need to move on he flipped out and said he's going to court to get full custody of artemis and that he would win.

i thought about 'giving' artemis back to the shelter so i can readopt him under my name and pay the fees. but what are my options?

Check with the adoption center. They would know best.

Do nothing and let him take you to court (I bet he won't).

Mr. Whipple is correct. This is not a real estate question, and by reposting in the correct category (personal property/ tort law, etc.), you should get better answers that will address your question.
