I didn't know the story so I didn't comment, but I just saw it on the news! UGH!!
That woman from the rescue had the NERVE to come out and say shes being painted as the villian! She is absolutely RIDICULOUS! The house and family looked like GREAT candidates for the dog! They had a dog already too! I think this woman was looking for her 15 mins of fame by doing this! She was taking her 'anger' from Ellen out on that poor family with that poor child! She called the police because of threatening phone calls (which is unnecessary really) but what did she expect by doing what she did??
This is where I have problems with rescues! There was NO reason that woman could not go to the house and interview the family and use the same guidelines as she would for any other family! Anyways, rescues are WWAAYYY too strict IMHO! I totally understand they want to find forever homes, but they reject sooooo many people for assinine reasons! I got denied at one time because I worked FULL time!!! COME ON NOW!!!
Anyways, Im pretty upset by all this for the family and for Ellen who gave a dog she could not keep to a good deserving family! That woman should be REMOVED from that rescue! Too bad she owns it!
(at least thats what I think she said on tv tonight)
OH and they also said that she already adopted the dog out to another family!! B**CH!!!
