Ellen already admitted that she didn't read the contract. If the rescue organization had that dog's best interest in mind, why didn't they require an application from Ellen or a home inspection from Ellen, when they adopted the dog out to ELLEN? How do they know what type of person Ellen is from the other side of the television screen? Just because she's a celebrity, they ASSUMED she was a suitable owner. Why? Because she had money? Hmm...sounds to me like that Rescue Organization uses pretty bad judgement itself.
That said, having not read the contract, perhaps Ellen simply assumed that - after spending $3000 on the dog (neutering, acclimating him, etc.) - she, as the rightful owner, had the right to determine what to do with the dog.
