Ellen Degeneres: Right or Wrong? Anonymous
Ellen's In The Doghouse

Ellen DeGeneres is in the doghouse for giving a pooch she'd adopted over to another family. The pet rescue agency then went to the other family and took the dog back, leaving those kids without the dog they'd fallen in love with.

DeGeneres says she spent $3,000 having the dog neutered and trained to be with her cats. But the dog had too much energy and was too rambunctious. The fine print of the dog adoption says the dog was to go back to the agency.

DeGeneres admits she didn't read it all and she thought she'd done "a good thing" by finding another "loving home for the dog" because she couldn't keep it.

I guess she violated a contract, but that doesn't really strike me as very jail-worthy.

At heart, both Ellen and the shelter are acting on what they think is in the best interest of the dog. As a shelter worker, it can sad to lose track of an animal you've spent time caring for; and of course there's the fact you haven't met the new owners yourself...

On the other hand, it's less stressful for the dog if he's moved directly from house to house, rather than from Ellen's house to the shelter and finally to another house.

Ellen Degeneres. Completely wrong.

She didn't read the fine print, the Agency followed procedure. Good on them for now giving in (So far) simply because a celebrity's whining about her own mistake.

That's supposed to be NOT giving in, instead of now giving in. Whoops.

They've been getting death threats if they dont return the dog to the new family

If its THAT important, the agency should have flat out told her about how the dog needed to go back to them.

And instead of taking the dog back from a family that clearly loves him, they could have at least made them fill out forums instead of just taking it. A real home is a lot better than a shelter where he might get walked every few days.

How the hell did they find out it went to another home? Shelters do not generaly check up on the animals, especialy if enough time has gone by that someone had spent 3'000. Also the animal is usualy neutered by the shelter before sent to a home, along with a set of shots. That is how it goes in Canada anyways. I don't know how you crazy fuckers in America operate anyways

Dumb. Honestly people care too much about fucking dogs. Contract over a dog? Bullshit, you aren't getting married. She gave it to an apparently loving family, but the shelter or rescue or whatever wants it back so they can gas it? Lol.

Also the shelter is flat out wrong for taking the dog away from the new family. Sure, they can bitch about Ellen violating the contract if they want, but a good home is a good home and they should fucking understand that (and that poor family!). No doubt the space they tossed the dog back into could have easily been used to take in another homeless dog.

No way, PETA would be like "THE DOG SHOULD BE FREE!" or some shit. They don't think we should keep any animals. Sage for PETA FAGGOTRY.

I think those two kids deserve to have that dog back. Ok, she did wrong but she gave it to people who wanted a dog to care for. Isn't that the job a shelter to look for good families? That dog had one already, give it back!

Stupid bitch is stupid. This is another fine example of people who don't read what they sign and face the obvious results.

Good for the shelter. You can't have people adopting pets just so they can be randomly redistributed, that's not how adoption works.

Peta sees domesticated dogs as unfit for living wild in nature so they actually euthanize all animals taken in. They would not give it a new home and believe humans should never own any dog, cat, bird, lizard or flea.

why should the kids get them back? Just because they're kids? BAWWW FUCK They must be sweet innocent lovely charming and respectful angels

Fuck them up their tight ass.

You have no clue whether they would take full responsibility for the dogs and show them real love.

You have no proof they are bad for the dog.

Your retarded argument works both ways, nigger.

The thing is, I think Ellen is smart enough to figure out if a family she knows is going to take good care of a pet.

regardless of smarts, if she genuinely cared about the dog (and granted $3k isn't a large amount for her, but it does show she at least gives a bit of a fuck) she would have made sure the family was suitable.

Besides, last thing she'd want is "Ellen DeGeneres sends dogs to abusive homes" in some tabloid magazine.

Moms and Mutts has a rule that families with children under 14 are not allowed to adopt small dogs.

How do you know she didn't? How do you know she didn't previously assure the people could care for the dog?

You don't. Neither does this bitch at the agency.

Ellen should take the dog back since its hers kill it and cook it on tv then eat then call them out for killing the dog because she wouldnt of had to do it if they had just given it to the family

euthanize the dog. that'll show the world.

In America the animal must be neutered with shots before it is adopted out.
Why the dumbass didn't have this done before it was adopted out, seeing as she's sooo worried about the animal is beyond me. Probably thought it would bring her some publicity. It did. I hope negatively.
I think lowly of rescues anyways. You pay a fortune for an animal, take care of it, and if they decide they don't like how you take care of it they can take it back without notice. 'Rent' it to the next sucker that comes along.
What really blows your mind is when it's in a better place than it would be at the shelter.
It's either state shelters or buy one straight out for me.
