On her show Ellen Degeneres sobbed out a story about Iggy a dog she adopted from Moms and Mutts. Ellen was unable to keep the dog because of the high energy level of the dog and he didn't get along as well with her cats as she would have liked.
She gave the dog to her hairdresser and her family. The hairdresser has two children who loved the dog.
BUT there are certain rules in animal adoption it seems Moms and Mutts where Ellen adopted the dog from called to check on the dog. Ellen told them she had given the dog to her friends. The agency went and took the dog back.
Ellen took the matter to her show, but wouldn't it have been better to try to settle this another way.On the Ellen Show crying about the dog brought death threats and many calls to Moms and Mutts. I do believe some of Ellen's tears were real BUT there were some fake ones in there too. She obviously did not want this in front of the tabloids so how better to defuse the situation and make yourself look very sympathetic but to come on TV crying and apologetic.
I do believe Ellen loves animals and I believe she did not think she was doing anything wrong by giving this dog to a good home rather then see him go back to a shelter. BUT there again so many animals are abused every year, shelters are more protective then they use to be.
Hopefully this story will have a happy ending the little girls will get Iggy back
and Iggy will have a good home.

I support the rescue for being responsible. If they had known that Ellen would dispose of the dog in less than a month, they never would have let that dog out the door in the first place. Adoption is a commitment, for better or worse, for the life of the pet. I think that Ellen and Portia should invest more effort in adjusting the cats and dog to the new conditions. Bottom line, if you don't have 110% to give to a pet, don't bother "trying it on for size".
