According to TMZ.com, Ellen never even had to go through the usual rescue application and home inspection process. If this is true, then this rescue organization just ASSUMED that by being a celebrity, that Ellen would be suitable to be a rescue parent. What does that say about this rescue organization?

I'm on the fence though, awaiting validation of the truth of this information.
