Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Georgia

I am from CT. My friend had adopted a dog while living in Georgia. At the time she was in a relationship and has since separated. She has moved back to CT. She and her ex had a verbal agreement that since she would have to start over once back in CT, he would care for the dog. Once she was "back on her feet" he was to allow her to come and retrieve her dog to take him to CT. Now, (3 months after the break up) she is ready to take the dog back but he does not want to give him up. She has all of her paperwork proving that she paid for the adoption and is the rightful owner. Also, she has the pay stubs to prove that she is able to provide for this animal (and I hear about him every day and how she wants him back,.. the dog of course.) She was ready to drive down to get the dog but now that he has decided to try and keep him, I am not sure what sort of action needs to be taken to get her re-united with her puppy. I understand it was a verbal agreement that they had entered into involving custody of the dog but as far as owner ship, the adoption papers are in her name. Please help. We are trying to find a way to solve this without court. Is there any way to achieve this? I may have chosen the wrong category, if so please steer me in the right direction. Thank you for your time.
