Pillow,

If you took the car than ran the dog over they probably would let you keep the remains. You could then cook the remains and still have Seattle over for lunch. A win-win-win situation.

she got her dog back, some guy got her car. so now, no car, depending on her family to get her around. that's just crazy.

Boy...you're really reeling them in with yet another of your mundanities of life threads.

LOL...Last I heard,these women running the adoption agency are adamant about not giving the dog back to these 11 year old girls. I think it's an honest mistake,and I think it's actually pretty normal to be too embarassed to give a dog back.Who wants to admit they made a mistake when they adopted a dog? Especially,when you have to admit it to what appears a couple women that appear a lil too dog-centric to begin with.This is gunna make people never want to get a dog from an adoption agency.Get them from a breeder.Once you get a dog,that should be your dog.You need to be responsible for it.These 2 yentas need to let go.I mean check the people out to begin with(that are adopting,) and trust that they will take good care of the dog,and if they can't,you need to trust them to find a good home for the dog.

"a rep from the agency went to the hairdresser's home Sunday night, police in tow, and removed the dog, much to the devastation of the children."

Damn Nutcases.......Need to get a man(or a woman) to get with, and leave the dogs (that have homes)
alone,cuz you're fruitcakes.

The dog was not wanted. It ends up at the agency. The agency tries to place it in a permanent home. Ellen (and I like her) decides the dog is too inconvenient (due to not getting along with her cats) and gives the dog away, clearly breaking her adoption contract, which says the dog has to be returned to the adoption agency.

Too bad Ellen would be embarassed to return the dog. That's what she agreed to. People adopt dogs on whims all the time. Ellen is just another one. Good for the agency for taking the dog back. That's called permanent reponsibility for the lifetime of the animal (who has now been in two homes - it's original, and Ellen's, that gave it up).

You think breeders are "better"? Not real ones. I just got a 4-year-old dog I bred back from Ontario. The people (who swore they loved him and would give him a lifetime home and paid a good amount for him as a rare and valuable pedigree-show-coursing dog with excellent conformation, who did win in the ring and in the field) didn't want him any more. It's in my contract they can't give this dog away to anyone, it must come back to me. The dog is microchipped in my name. I would gladly walk in anywhere with the police and take this dog back if they had given it away - no matter how many crying children would miss him. I refunded the full purchase price and drove to Detroit to pick him up at the former owners convenience. Oh, by the way, they neutered the dog without telling me. Glad they wanted those valuable, rare bloodlines. And these people jumped through hoops when I interviewed them multiple times before placing the dog with them.

Sometimes it just doesn't work out, and people that truely care about the dog for it's whole life take responsibility for that. I see no fault at all with the adoption agency. Ellen should pay attention to her contractual agreements. If she wanted a dog with no strings, she should have gotten a dog out of the newspaper, not from a private adoption agency.

Yes,don't get dogs from adoption agencies.Get them from breeders,and don't sign anything saying these people have any rights to this dog anymore.You will see that this is gunna result in people not wanting to take dogs from these agencies anymore.Buyers don't need this ****.I have seen some of these adult MINPINS that need homes,and I have the set up to give them happy homes,and was gunna maybe get another one in December.Now,I will not go on those sites anymore.I will buy a pup from a breeder,and it will be because this bitch took this dog away from a couple human beings who loved him.That is just not cool.That is not the way to deal with it.It's overkill.Find some middle ground,and start thinking about humans a lil more.

We do think mainly of the humans. That's the problem. Overkill is what we do to excess dogs that are inconvenient to humans. It's a uniquely American attitude of disposability - they buy it, they toss it when it's no longer wanted.

That's why those agencies, with all the contracts, have come to exist in the first place. Adoptive homes ending up being worse homes than where the dog came from. Try to adopt an ex-racing greyhound from some groups - some have contracts that say you can't ever let the dog off leash (for example, in a dog park). Some are the "permanent owner" of the dog.

Every breeder I know has a contract that says the dog comes back to them if it's ever not wanted. Not every breeder that exists, certainly. Anyone who watches their dogs have sex calls themselves a "breeder", and the term means little to nothing, as obviously, it depends upon the person behind the term.

Those that want a dog without being beholden to anyone else about what happens to that dog during it's life have a multitude of places to obtain one from. It won't make any dent in the more controlling agencies, in my view.
Some folks obviously would be better off with stuffed toys rather than living animals.

Well,I have this American Eskimo Mix of some sort.I took him in,because quite honestly I am already tied down with other dogs. I didn't like want this dog.I took him in because he needed to be taken in.So,this situation is a lil like that situation.Somebody got a dog they probably shouldn't have(but the dog would most likely be dead if they hadn't got him from wherever they got him..pound probably.) They found somebody who could take him in,and actually this lady came by and visited him a couple weeks ago.I don't want somebody coming to my house to check up on this dog.He is my responsibility now,but I don't need somebody over here like that.I don't agree with taking dogs away from people who are providing a good home for a dog.Fine ELLEN and her Woman for this,but don't take the dog away from a new home.I don't particularly like the dog much,but he is happy here. I fully expect he will live his life out with me,and he is a more consistent watchdog than the Minpins are(they are under their covers a lot.)

ellen degeneres used to be funny.

now she's another jumbo headed celebrity barely 2 tiers above brittany's level.

her director needs to be fired. her producer needs to grow a set of balls big enough to tell her she's an overwrought idiot. anyone who thinks this dog won't be just as happy wherever it lands is deluded. and the kids would be just as happy with another pet.

they're f'in kids. they already forgot about this as soon as everyone stops reminding them and someone stuffs a kitten in their hand.

when i see crap like this i start to think hitler was an underacheiver.

That's total crap(the part about the kids getting over it easily.)When I was 8-10 years old we had a Beagle for a very short time,and that crazy bitch ran off.Never saw her again.That was indeed traumatic for all involved.When pets pass due to illness,they usually slow down for some time before they actually get acutely ill.There is some detachment when a dog begins to gradually slow down.Not true with a young dog that is simply there one day,and gone the next.I am sure the kids were traumitized by having that dog taken away like that.This bitch was complaining constantly about a lack of funds for her business,and adoption service.Said repeatedly that she has no money.Ellen felt bad about breaking the rules.She said to blame her,but don't take it out on the kids.Well,From what I saw,Ellen would have paid a huge fine(to be used to help take care of many dogs at this agency,) but these nutty women on both sides simply stomped on their gas pedals way too early during the early stages of this thing.For one thing,the whole thing about "small dogs not being given to any families with kids" is a huge lazy overkill if I have ever seen one.I have a bitch Min Pin who isn't bothered by anything (except her bowl being empty.)I have a smaller male that is not good with kids.Anytime you have women involved in a nonprofit involving animals,you're gunna see too many " no exception" rules.They don't want to have to make decisions.They love absolutes.

i see your point.

the loving description of the crazy bitch changed my opinion.

i now understand how kids never recover from this trauma.
