If you agree that the dog should be left where he was happy instead of being used as a pawn, please sign the petition that jenn h sent a link to.

I have signed contracts involving two of my pure bred dogs that I have bought from breeders & read the whole contracts & know that if I was unable to take care of these dogs that I need to take them back to the breeder.
But, don't you think this could've been handled better by all the parties involved? First mistake..Yes, Ellen should've read her contract. But, did this have to keep going like it did? No, I don't believe so...there could've been other ways to deal with this. What was done was done. I didn't see any reason to take the dog from that home unless it was obvious that it was a bad home & they were abusing the dog. They could've left the dog in the home while they were filling out the paperwork to adopt the dog.

I agree that the best interest of the DOG is what this is about. I am wondering if these people will now try to use the fact that this dog used to be "Ellen's" dog to adopt it for much more money? I am certainly hoping not. However, Mutts for Moms DOES NOT adopt any animals out to households with children under the age of 14.. that is thier reasoning as to why they not only took the dog but refuse to even consider the hairdresser and her children as new owners. My 12 year old helps raise and trains dogs - I feel that each child is different and each should be taken into consideration - but apparently this rescue feels differently. I am sad that Ellen did not read the contract, this poor dog is going to be SO hard to train and bond with because of the issues it will have - not to mention all of the issues it had that kept it from being trained properly for Ellen and Ms. DeRossi's home.
I think the rescue went about this ALL wrong.

okay yes ellen did violate the contract but by taking the dog away from what iggy considers as home is actually doing that dog some harm. i have adopted a dog who has been adopted and abandoned a few times and it took a year for him to get used to being at home with us. yes ellen should have called them asap but isn't the moms and mutts organization also bad for just taking the dog, instead of finding another way to resolve the issue. and i thought that when you adopt a dog from a rescue, they have to come fixed???
also who ever wrote the homophobics stuff on here, seriously grow up.

Why did the lady from Mutts and Moms tell the little girls' family she was only coming by to do a home check and then once she got there hijack the dog? She got them to let her in their house under false pretenses. I'm sure if Ellen and the hairdress knew she was planning on taking the dog away they would not have told her where the hairdresser lived.

I am concerned that the family is tramatized by all this and whoever picked up the dog, should have straightened out the situation there instead of taking the dog. I am sure things would have turned out better. This is shameful, and uncalled for!!

Boycott ~ There's a Grand Idea. Hey, why don't we Boycott All Rescue Groups? Because all Reputable Rescue Groups would do the same thing!
I agree with Moms & Mutts! They upheld the Contract, DeGeneres Did NOT!
There is a REASON for asking people to return dogs to the rescue if the adopter decides they can't keep the dog. The REASON is because the adoptive family MUST go through a process of completing an application, paying a fee, and being visited to be sure their home is suitable for the animal. DeGeneres couldn't determine that -- she didn't take an application. She didn't do the homework.
She was completely irresponsible.
For all Ellen's talk -- she sure didn't read all the paperwork.

Oh these other people who are only focused on Ellen being a lesbian are shallow and also have about the same heart as Mutts and Moms. Its nothing to do with Ellen's sexuality you dumb a s s e s! I would never boycott a rescue shelter though, because the animals need homes. I do not understand why in the H E L L they would get a dog rescued and then take it back. Its not like Iggy was in a bad home. I think its senseless.

Ellen never tried to hide the fact that she gave the dog away. IN fact s he was honest about what she did with the dog. The one that was dishonest was the organization who told the family they needed to come over and do a home visit. From there the lady picked up the dog and wouldn't put it down. Grow some and be an adult like Ellen was about the situation. I am sure most of you posting on this site would have lied about the situation.

I'd boycott Mutts and Moms just for selling an "UNALTERED" dog. What kind of shitty rescue doesn't fix a dog before adoption. Even shelters don't allow unaltered dogs to be adopted.
An unaltered dog can be used for breeding and will add to the population problem. Seems fishy to me.

what about the reputable breeder who has the same in their contract I guess with oll these it's better for the dog to keep going back and forth just to give them more problems. Ellen found the dog a good home but no it was to go to the shelter again then to another and a lot of reputable breeders do the same thing as well as many shelters
