79. Ellen rented dog, ellen subrented dog, agency doesn't get to collect on dog subrental fees unless agency pays francishe fees. Bad agency...agency also has ownership rights on Ellen's first born male son, not that this is likely to happen......

80. I would bet that Mutts and Moms is a non-profit and I only hope people will never give them a dime. I know I never will....won't adopt their dogs and won't donate. If enough people shun them, they can hopefully be put out of business!!! Too bad the animal rights people are too busy obsessing over Brit because this is who they need to be investigating!!! Ellen made the mistake and punishing the dog and an innocent child who has grown to love the puppy is heartless!! The people behind this business should not be doing anything to help others because they have no regard for the feelings of others!! Such a shame we have such sickos living in our society!!

81. A lot of these animal adoption places are really anally and absurdly militant about the animals. Isn't the main goal to get the animals into loving homes? Yes, so wtf is the problem? Give the kid her dog back - geez!!

82. This is why shelters piss me off. When I was going to get a dog, I first went to shelters and I was SO raked over the coals. Even with a fenced in yard, even with previous experience with the breed, even with a perfect record of pet care (I've never given away a pet in my life), I was still not meeting all of their requirements. I eventually went to a credible breeder because I was sick of shelters giving me a hard time.
This is just another example. Instead of charging Ellen a fine and then keeping up with the dog's new family, they take the dog back. Yeah, that is VERY good for the dog's well-being.

83. In a land of free press, it's important to tell all sides. Mutts and Moms is a super non-profit that does wonderful work. I have to believe there's a second story here and wish you were fair-minded enough to have gotten a quote from them before publishing. I wonder how many people won't go to them and those dogs will end up being put down because of it?

84. All that has to be done is the normal background check that should ALWAYS be done before placing an animal in a home. If for some reason, the references, etc., don't check out, than okay, don't give the dog back to Ruby. If it's found that Ruby's family has a good, animal-loving home, than I don't see what the problem is.

And to all you haters out there...get a life and quit being so mean. Didn't your parents teach you any manners?

87. They are non-profit.......the people running it seem to miss out on their own purpose!!! Here is the link to their site.....I think people need to let them know they won't be getting any donations!! They need to take away their non-profit status because what they did was cruel. How can you claim to have the best interest of an animal and get police to yank it away from a child with whom the animal has bonded?!! You fix the error and take up the problem with the adult! They obviously care nothing about dogs because they punished the pet and an innocent kid!! That is sick!!!!!!

88. Of course Ruby should get the dog. Her parents can probably go to the agency and put an application in. Our local Animal Shelter makes you agree to that same stipulation.

But I am going through the same thing with my new little dog. She is terrorizing my cats. However, I would like to find a way so that we can all live peacefully!

89. You've got to be freakin' kidding me...

Mutt's and Mom's must really be in the hole for money... It looks like they pulled this one out of the "Shameless Publicity" bag. Seriously.

What A-Hole would take a dog from a kid?

90. The dog adoption agency, Mutts and Moms should be ashamed of themselves. I can see if the dog was dumped at a shelter, but it was given to a good home. I hope they are put out of business. It sounds like the woman who called the police and snatched the dog back is a nut case.

I hope Ruby gets Iggy back ASAP!!!!!!
