Ex’s irresponsible request leads to a pound predicament. NTA for sure

Choosing to surrender the dog was her decision, but there were alternatives

NTA. Her dog, her responsibility. You said no, so it’s not your problem. Her problem is with the place she took him! If she thought she was going to get him back, tell her to take them to court. Or just look closely at any paperwork she signed when she took him in.
