oh and i will never go to a shelter or rescue group for a pet, the contracts, cost are outrageous, i want a pet, not someone harrassing me and hounding me ( no pun intended) if i break their contract. Look in the want ads, there are plenty of pets needing a home, and many are FREE

High end breeders do the same. When you buy a pet quality animal from them you pay top dollar and they expect you to sign a contract stating that you will have the animal spayed/neutered, and you will not have puppies. I didn't intent on having puppies anyway but I was so mad at the idea that after paying a huge price for this dog they would tell me what I could or couldn't do. So I just didn't buy the dog.

she gave it a good home and then found it a good home. no harm done!! if someone tried to take my dogs i would end up in jail. my two dogs are part of the family.ellen did nothing wrong and the adoption agency are nothing but thugs looking for media attention.

Ellen once again shows that she cannot make up her mind . Why get the dog in the first place . Thank God it wasnt a child , try the child out if it doesnt fit in my life give it to someone else.Ellen stated that she has rescued other dogs so she knew the drill. Ellen signed the contract ,she could have taken the dog back and told the rescue agency that she didnt want the dog ,but knows of someone else that wanted the dog .Ellen has used the media to bring about threats of harm to the agency. Ellen has taken a dog that has already been removed from harm to be moved around again .Ellen has money buy the little girls another dog ,she created this mess and she should clean it up .She is not crying because of the dog being taken .She is crying because she was caught , her life partner better watch out she might trade her in when she doesnt fit into her life .

sorry medicine.

i am sorry let me correct myself. i am not against shelters Please go to shelters to get pets but I AM Against their contracts that make them think they have control over what happens to the adopted animal after it is adopted. That is what I am against. Once I adopt a pet they need to butt out of my business. That is why I would never go and sign a contract to get a pet. If shelters want to really adopt pets out, then they need to cut their ties once the pet is adopted. if afraid of abuse, do better screening ahead of time, but once that pet goes home, it should be out of their hands and no longer their business. They are living things yes, but they are not children who do need such regulations and protection. With all that is going on in the world today, the child abuse etc. that kind of strict contracts should be in place, but even then there is a point to cut the apron strings.

well i too am an animal lover, having 2 dogs, a lizard and a fish. and growing up on a farm my heart breaks when i hear stories of animal abuse and neglect etc etc.but i would never put an animal's rights over or on the same level as a person's. When i think of all the money etc that goes out to "save all these poor animals" that are abandoned, when kittens and puppies are a dime a dozen, when there are children starving, going homeless, not having proper clothing etc it makes me sick. or spending countless dollars to save a terribly sick or wounded homeless animal
yes we need to have compassion for God's creatures, but never before people.
I am so tired of righteous people putting animal rights above peoples and that is why I will never sign a contract to own an animal, i will never put someone else incharge of my rights to own and raise a pet. I love my pets but once i adopted mine, from petfinder.com want ads, i was free and clear.
it is unfortunate that so many think they have the right to tell the few who would like to adopt, what to do, how to do it and when to do it.
I love animals but they are animals, they are not people. they do deserve to be treated with kindness and love, and not be abused. Contracts will not prevent that no more than foster parent evaluations will stop them from possibly abusing the children under their control.
Contracts are just a way to try and control people.

Wow I feel bad for all your animals then.

When my cat was sick because he was getting crystals in his urine because of the store baught food, well he almost died. The night we noticed he was really sick was that blizzard we had a few years ago and it took us an hour to get to the 24 animal emergency room at 11:00 at night, which should have only taken us 10-15 minutes. Well we got there and they said he can be fixed for $500.00, you better believe I wrote a check out for $500.00 for him to get better and now we have to spend about $60.00 every couple of months to buy him special food. So I guess I make you sick, but my cat is happy and you can tell he is so happy that we were there to help him.

What makes me sick is someone who can look at an animal and just say it is only an animal and let it die without doing everything they can. I could never look into the eyes of any of my animals and say sorry it is just to expensive, you are going to die. If you can then you shouldn't have animals.

What a media circus! For God's sake, she gave it to a good home who loves the dog! It's not like she left it under a bridge or something!
