Apparently Ellen was to pay like 250.00 for Iggy, but said she gave them 400.00
Then spent the money on the dog, ie getting the dog neutered, apparently the law states the rescue is to do this prior to placing a dog, But Iggy was not, Ellen had that done. Aparently it is the law to have them altered in Ca. But was not done. Oh no the rescue broke the rules too on this one...

Talk of having to have fences in a back yard, there are people out there that live in condo style apartment living and take their dogs outside. I know some that are better parents to dogs, getting sitter while at work. Yet they live in an apartment. Then some people are with a fenced yard.

Talk about making more people go to a pet store, this is sending the wrong message out there to a lot of people.

Talk about applications and rules and laws, if Ellen had that dog for a month and had not filled out an application to begin with, and yet they took her money for the dog, then the rescue did not change the name on the micro chip. I think maybe this rescue place needs to learn more about this job they are doing to begin with. All this about applications and home visits, it just goes on and on ...yet they got a new home for Iggy that quick, how amazing is that now. How did they do the application, and the home visit so quick, but they were quick to take a dog away from a perfectly good home..shame on them. They broke as many rules as Ellen did.

And anyone who has a dog, has had the dog a few days and knows how easy it is to fall in love with a dog. Has to feel for those children. The dog and the children should come before the rescue lady's feelings or Ellens for that matter.

My first three yorkies were all rescue's. I lived part time in an apartment and went home on my days off, neither place had a fenced in yard. The dogs went out on leashes. Now today, well my dogs will always have a private fenced in yard. When I took in my first yorkie which was our first dog, I did not even know what a yorkie looked like. They all lived to a ripe old age. When the breeder/rescue of the dog found out that our first actually jumped up beside my husband when we got home, she was so shocked at his fitting in with us newbies, and the dog had be so abused and trusted no one, she called three weeks later and wanted us to take another one. We did.

So common sense to me is as important as rules.
