Hi ellen im a big fan of your show n i live in singapore and it really takes 1 month to get here, but then yesterday they showed the last show of season 5 and now THERE IS NO MORE ELLEN IN SINGAPORE ): your show has been replaced by the tyra show at 5pm everyday, not that theres anything wrong with the tyra show i think its a nice show too, but PLS COME BACK TO SINGAPORE SO THAT I CAN WATCH U EVERYDAY ELLEN

I LOVE YOUR SHOW!!!! :DD

THIS IS VERY SAD TO SEE DOGS HERT I HATE THE PEOPPLE THAT HERT THESE DOGS AND CATS iiiiiiiiiiiiiii hhhhhhhhhhhhhhate tttttttthe ppearson who did this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok..go ahead and think iam nuts but Iam only 14, and her show takes 1 month to reach Singapore. I guess to er is a human. We all have days which may be worse than normal, and yet we get over them sooner or later. Its quite normal to be upset over a dog because after all, the dog has feelings too, except that it probably doesn't know what actually is going on. i had a lovebird which i named Bubbles, but it died 3 days later because the shop owner had forgotten to tell me that it could not eat seeds yet. Of cause I was upset. Who wouldn't? Its perfectly normal to feel upset. We forgive ourselves when we make mistakes. Why can't we forgive her?

CYNTHIA MANTALOS, you have some nerve!..Who are you to voice an opinion!!You have ripped elderly
people off,,sure it was to house..feed an animal,but your lies,your deceit with the human race is unforgiving..You write bad checks without a second thought,,you lie to and cheat people!!!!
You and your boyfriend Phil will never change..
GET A REAL JOB..STOP RIPPING PEOPLE OFF!!!!!!!

Ellen i LOVE your show. i watch it every day!! i'm 19 and have watched your show sence it's been on air!! you are funny as .... well you know what word that should be lol. i dont want to be a bad influence if there are younger kids that come here lol

I like da show

If ellen is such an animal lover and the kindest person on earth, where all all the other animals she has adopted?? I still cant figure out why everyone assumes that the haridresser's place was such a loving home when it was proven that the dog she already had was dirty and matted. No dog gets matted after one day playing in the yard like people are claiming. The rescue did the right thing. Anybody who would purposely refuse to honor a contract cant be such a great person. Iggy is much better off.

Good God, Give Ellen a break. There is not a more kind,caring, loving person on this planet.She loves animals and would never do anythin wrong on purpose. Stay like you are Ellen and stay happy
Love Terry Cook

hi ellen, i cant believe this story, and poor little iggy still is without this family who wants to love him. how sad for this shelter, they couldnt see past themselfs.........hope this comes together soon........my best, laura

Ellen still doesn't have Iggy. How about it, all you "law professors" and people who know "never- lost-a-case attorneys"? How is it that Ellen never got Iggy back to the family and no action was taken against the rescue....oh yea...you were wrong....hind sight does s*ck, doesn't it?

anyone who is insulting Ellen is ridiculous. we all make mistakes, i know for a fact i don't always read the fine print. Ellen is a person, you can't expect her to be perfect. If you want to go insult a celebrity with real errors, go insult britney spears, or paris hilton.
Honestly i don't understand why it was such a big deal in the tabliods. she tried to give the dog a loving home, it didn't work. ellen was sad. the end. I neab compared to other stories in the tabliods about cheating, divorce, drugs, and alcohol, this shouldn't have been a big deal.
ellen, is a very kind and caring PERSON.

While I am glad Ellen finally fessed up, took responsibility for her actions and finally apoligized for doing the wrong thing, her attempt at using her celebrity status and her show as a forum in order to create some sort a public spectacle or backlash that would shame this organization into returning Iggy to her hairdresser was completely and totally unacceptable. In my estimation, once she realized her contractual obligations she should have immediately returned the pet and then worked quietly and tirelessly behind the scenes with the organization to facilitate if at all possible the legal adoption of Iggy by the hairdresser and her family.

Alison, Nobody doubts that Ellen meant well. The controvery seems to be that people dont think she was obligated to honor the contract she signed.

hey so if i remember correctly, ellen said the dog went to her stylist and her family. i don't think ellen would just give her dog away to any random person. she obviously had good intentions when she gave the dog to her friend. i just wanted to clarify that.

I too have a dog form a shelter. The shelter is a no kill shelter. They also have a clause that is we can't keep the dog that the dog comes back to them. I would (like you did) rather find the dog a new home then send it back to the shelter. I am glad that our dog worked out and loves our kids. I feel bad for my husband because he wanted a dog for him and the dog loves me to death.

Dear Ellen I adopted a 6 yr old Australian shepherd Blue merle back in early fall. I also have a female springer spaniel, and a bassett hound. Also have 4 cats and 2 wk old bobtail kittens helping me type this. Their snoozing right now but they all still say hi. Sox is my adpted one, I've had aussies my whole life, and never had I had such a wonderful experience, as I have with this one he's wonderful with the kids and does not want to leave my sight. I will post you some photos soon of our Family Circus. Thank you for being the animal lover you are. Tell portia Hello she is very lucky. Love always cats and dogs Stephanie Wykle from West Virginia

I am also a rescuer and have to agree with the last person. We see things that most people wont ever know about let alone experience. We get filthy, terrified and malnourished puppy mill dogs and help them get healthy and socialize them. Many of them would have been killed and thrown away like trash when they quit having healthy babies or more dead ones than alive ones. Some animlas in shelters have been running the streets for a long time and have parasites, skin conditions and even heart worm infestations. We spend hundreds of dollars sometimes to get a dog healthy and we wont just hand them over to anyone who thinks they might want to TRY a dog for a while. Im sure Ellen had her heart in the right place because I hear she has done many wonderful things for animals. Unfortunately, she disrespected everything we stand for by breeching the contract she signed with the rescue she got Iggy from. We will work with any adopter who needs to rehome their adopted pet but because we must also maintain records, we Have to be informed of their whereabouts. We arent psycho animal hoarders, we just love animals ans want to help find them loving homes who will keep them for the rest of their lives. Now a days with the economy so bad, people are abandoning their pets instead of tightening their belts a little. Dogs are being killed in shelters in record numbers right now and unless people start to spay and neuter, the numbers will continue to rise. When I once took a litter of unwanted puppies, I reminded them (a friend) that they needed to get their female spayed. They actually told me that she doesnt go outside, YET this wasnt her first time getting pregnant by accident. I also challenge anyone who doesnt understand what a rescue is about to offer to foster for a while and see how it feels to take responsibility for another little life and then eventually hand them over to someone else to care for. I would be willing to bet you will have a whole new perspecive of rescues once that protective feeling for your foster kicks in.

Let me clue you in Patricia. I am a rescue foster. I personally own 9 dogs, 3 cats and numerous other animals. I currently foster a 4 year old dog, 7 puppies, 2 adult female cats and just got a mommy cat and her 4 babies today. I recently assisted in the rescue and transfer of a dog who was adopted and then given to a "good home" without the knowledge of the rescue. This poor female dog was sexually molested in this GOOD HOME! We make a life time commitment to these animals and we take our contracts very seriously. We spend our money to save these animals and we do everything humanly possible to get them healthy and learn to love and trust again. People must fill out applications to adopt these animals and we DO check their references and call their vet. Knowing a celebrity doesnt automatically qualify a person to be the best home for that animal. You people who keep siding with Ellen are so star struck you cant even see the other side. There are over 10,000 dogs killed in shelters every single day in the United States. We do our best to make sure the dogs we rescue dont end up back there. Some will slip through the cracks but thats why we offer a life time open door. No questions asked, we will take any dog back, any time during its entire life. If you want to call that cold hearted and lacking in compassion, then I guess thats what I am. I Wouldnt change a thing because at least I go into this with the animals best interest in mind, NOT sucking up to celebrities that I will never know and who dont even know that I exist. I do it for the animals and thats all that matters to us true rescuers. We might not be able to save them all but we make sure we find the best possible homes for the ones we can. Why not try fostering a dog for a while and then come back in 6 months and tell me how you feel about it!

Thank you for caring Ellen. I don't have $ but, whenever a stray cat comes my way, I try to tame it and find it a home. Right now there are 4 living in my garage. When I bring food out I always talk to them. Then sneak a pet here and there. Eventually they are tame enough to find a home. My dog belonged to a neighbor that passed away. We all can help with the stray population in some way.
