Ellen's Puppy Problem

[Storm Wolf]

This is utter non-sense. The dog had a perfectly good home and they took it away. The children are old enough to know and understand how to treat and animal. These organizations complain about how many un-wanted animals in shelters there are and yet here they are taking one away from a family who loves it. Whats wrong with this picture? Instead of taking the dog away...why couldn't they have asked if the family would fill out the papers and adopt the dog themselves?

I had a co-worker who applied at our local shelter to adopt a dog and they wouldn't let him have it simply because he had an 8 hour job and the dog would be alone at this time. He asked the shelter how they expected him to support a dog if he didn't go to work and make money, to which they replied, "Thats your problem." Nice. I don't know about you folks, but my dog is home by herself often....and it doesn't bother her one damn bit.

I can see where Ellen did wrong on part of a policy....but her intentions were good. I'd give my dog to a trusted friend rather than see it in a shelter any day.

While it's not worth the death threats....come on...you knew this would deface the organization and someone would get hated on.
