Boyfriends mom asks me to find new home for his dog and now she’s harassing me to get dog back from new owner?

I am unfairly caught in the middle. My EX- boyfriend is a 31 yr old drug addict. He has gone off on a binge for weeks. The last time I went to his apartment to check on him he angrily gave me his puppy, saying he can’t care for him right now. Worried about the pups safety. I immediately contact bf’s mother about what to do. She expressed to me verbablly that while she loves the dog she can’t care for him. I couldn’t care for the pup permanently because I live with a roomate who is afraid of dogs. Bf’s mother gave me instructions to find him a good home. I checked and doubled checked with his mother to confirm if she felt comfortable with me finding the puppy an new home. I have emails and txts where she again tells me she thinks that finding the pup a home would be best…So I did find the pup a great home. Its been 4 days and the daughter has already become attached to the pup, they called me to update me on how the pup is doing and thank me for bringing the dog into their lives.
Now my bf’s mother is harassing me to get dog back from new owner, saying she made a mistake, wants to keep the dog in the family.. She put me in an awful position but I contacted the new owner, explained my ex’s mothers remorse. The new owner says she feels horrible but wants to keep the dog because her daughter is already attached. Does the new owner have to give back the dog?
Mother is threatening to call the cops on me, find the new owner etc. etc. Mother has PHOTOCOPIES of paperwork for dog ie. vet bills, health records but I gave the new owner the ORIGINALS of this paperwork..does the new owner have rights to keep dog? I feel terrible for both sides but the mother made a major decision and its not fair to hold me accountable or harass me if the new owner wants to keep the dog…
