I told him I was going to get a dog, and then when the adoption didn't work out, he assumed I had lied to him about it. I apologized, but he said that I hurt his feelings and now he won't talk to me. I've been giving him his space, I've already sent him a text saying that I would be there for him when he was ready, but he hasn't responded at all.

What is he mad at you for? Were at fault in this situation, did you apologize? If you haven't apologized yet, then I suggest doing so. I believe that after you apologize it's best to give them space to let them cool off, and then contact you when they're ready to talk. So keep on giving him space, and wait until he contacts you.

Yeah, give him space. Did something happen that caused this like say... He confessed feelings for you and you rejected him. Or have you gotten a new boyfriend recently? Or has he gotten a new girlfriend?
He may just be upset and need some alone time. He'll talk to you when he's ready. I'd suggest sending him an email or letter or even a text letting him know you'll be there for him when he's ready but you're giving him his space for now. That way he knows why you've stopped trying for now.
