Our contract reads the same. We are working for the future of the dog. I question if Ellen was a fit home for theis dog. I have heard that she wasn't required to complete an application. Apparently someone at Moms & Muts was blinded by celebrity. In any event Moms & Muts had problems with the hairdressers family and did the right thing, for the dog. God Bless all who work in rescue.

I was "rescued" by a sheltie 5 years ago, and also signed an agreement that if, for whatever reason, I no longer wanted the dog, or became capable of honoring my commitment to him, I will return him to the rescue organization. The whole point is to do what is in the best interest of the animal. If the family truly wanted the dog, and were capable of providing for his/her needs, I don't understand why they refused to go through the rescue agency's adoption process. Kudos to all rescue groups who are willing to take the heat to ensure that these animals are treated with the love, stablility and dignity they deserve!

They are just doing what they are supposed to do. I belong to a couple of recue groups and I understand what Mutts and Moms has done as I am sure alot of other people do. My family recues dogs that are no longer cute, or have other disabilies. The recue groups trust us because of our ability to perform these tasks. I support them and they in turn give us support. I undertood the contracts when we signed them. If anything ever happens to us and we are unble to care for our dogs, those groups will be the first we contact. Keep up the good work Mutts and Moms How unfortunate that Mutts and Moms has taken so much heat for this. They are just doing what they are supposed to do.
