Ellen DeGeneres: I Never Had To Fill Out An Application Or Have My Home Inspected
In the continuing saga of Iggy the puppy (I won't go into the backstory here, you can read it on the site), Ellen has told radio host Ryan Seacrest that Mutts and Moms are, at best, inconsistent with their agency policies:
In an exclusive phone conversation with E!'s Ryan Seacrest Wednesday, DeGeneres reiterated her dismay over the dog being taken away, and denied that she had been deliberately trying to disregard the agency's policies, saying, "The whole situation is surreal.""I will say this: we never filled out an application. We never had a home evaluation," she told Seacrest, indicating the agency was somewhat unpredictable about adhering to its own rules.
Aha. So all this crap about home inspections and applications is just that...crap. Yes, Portia signed an agreement that had Ellen's name on it...but an agreement is a far cry from an application. MaM is making it sound like there are an entire series of hoops that have to be jumped through to adopt a dog, when in reality it seems like all you have to do is show up, pick out a dog, and sign an agreement.
I mean, get real...if this woman was so good at picking out the perfect home, couldn't she have seen in advance that the dog and Ellen's cats wouldn't mix well? Or that the dog would be a bit too hyper for Ellen's household? No? Right...because you can't predict these things until the dog is actually in the home for a while. Which, wait a minute, he was with this other family for two weeks, and had blended in perfectly.
Even the local Pasadena Humane Society said they would not have removed the dog from the home. And apparently Marina Baktis has filed a police report because of the harassment (please, people, stop it...there are better ways...you're endangering the whole process as well as breaking the law).
