It really wasn't taken from her but from the hairdresser she gave it to. I think they should have went and checked on the dog and once they saw how happy it and the kids were then left it alone. They could have called Ellen and asked her to come fill out the proper paperwork and no one got hurt.

she should have read the agreement - the condition that if you cannot keep your adopted pet that it must be returned to the breed rescue organization is very standard

it's not a hidden clause - the rescue organizations are very upfront about it

if the family wants to adopt the pet now, they can apply to the rescue organization

I saw this this morning, and was ready for a punch line. I wasn't for sure she was serious at first.
That pet place has some stupid rules for one thing. They should know Ellen of all people will take excellent care of an animal one way or another.

I hope she gives us an update soon.

if u dont then sign the petition

Hell no! Just because she signed a paper saying blah blah. Doesn't mean anything. That dog was a lot better off in a home then a shelter, so why should it matter if it's Ellen's home or her hair dresser's?

NO it's not fair- those girls bonded that puppy and it was in a good home. And to go back to the shelter after investing what $3000. OMG Ellen was crying and so sorry.
I don't think the shelter had the right to go and just take it.
Too many ppl have animals now they don't take care of-

Believe in second chances?

Yes, I saw that. It broke my heart. I don't understand the dog adoption agency. They want their dogs to go to good homes. If what Ellen did was wrong, why not just tell the new family to fill out the necessary paperwork to adopt the dog. As long as the dog was with a good family, what is the problem and I mean, hey, this is Ellen. Everybody knows her.

Not really. Ellen should have been able to take care of a dog. I'm sure they can be trained to get along with cats. Ellen should've hired an animal trainer, or sent the dog to obedience school.

you know, this is a really sad story. i'm sorry for the kids who bonded with the dog. i'm sorry for the shelter workers who had to go and take the dog back. i'm sorry for the dog for being back in the shelter after having had a family.

but i'm not sorry for ellen. she signed the paper. she failed to read the materials fully. she neglected to uphold her part of the agreement.

do i think it's pretty ridiculous, yes. but, she is the one who agreed to the contract and then broke the terms.

I think that if that's the procedure then thats how she should expect things to run. On the other hand, I think the place should have investigated the situation and evaluate that yes she did not follow procedure, but the dog is now in a home and not a shelter that is probably overcrowded.

awww i feel so bad for her :[[[
that is just horrible how could the shelter do that to her.

well she did break the agreement and she did sign the agreement . she was supposed to give the dog back to the shelter if it did not do ok in her home . I know she is sorry . but that is the agreement that she signed .

I've adopted all my animals from the shelter for the last 20 years and we all have to sign saying that if we don't keep the animal then we'll turn in back into the agency. It's to keep people from putting helpless animals into unsafe or unsuitable homes.

Why should she be exempt from the rules if she's a celebrity? It's for the animals' protection, to keep people from "dumping" unwanted pets on unsuitable homes. People who don't want an animal are often more interested in getting rid of their "problem" than insuring that the poor beast is truly getting a good home.

If the hairdresser and her kids want the dog, let them go down to the shelter and apply to adopt it themselves! If they really are fit and proper people to provide a suitable home, the agency will decide and not Ellen Degeneres.

Though the agency may try to protect the animals from going to an unfit home if it's given away, most people would make sure the pet had a proper home to go to. They take the time to adopt a pet, so they care. I absolutely love dogs and have always been good around them. I always wanted to work with dogs somehow and am waiting for an opening at our local shelter. The agency could have asked to visit the home for approval instead of just taking the dog away. That was just downright mean to do. It's not good customer service and I'm sure the agency will suffer big time for doing this, especially to a celebrity who can get tons of media attention. The rules need to change so that this doesn't happen again.

I smell something funny when you can not access the agency website or even send the email and they are not responding to emails. So probably if even mail them or writing a letter to them it may do no good.

The probably will just delete it if you write them.

I do not think the should of removed the pet, since it was attached to the new owners.

Ellen would not give it to a bad person.

Standard clause or not, I do not think the rescue mission should have just taken the dog back like they did. If the dog was in a loving home, why would they take it back, when they are likely overcrowded as it is? I think it is a ploy on the rescue mission's part to generate publicity and I think it is rotten.

well if he molests it ofcourse!
