All she had to do, if she didn't want to keep the dog, was to return it to the shelter as she said she would when she adopted it. TV stars think they can get away with anything.

Where is this woman talking about the girls are to young. I have grown up with dogs since birth. She gives rescues a bad name. Its a sad story all around.

If you adopt from a wacko rescue organization and they call you about the dog you adopted, just tell them that everything is fine and that the dog is doing wonderfully. Tell them that you have done everything that you were supposed to do. Tell them whatever they want to hear in a nice voice.... and then do whatever you want with the dog (other than be mean to it or abandon it). If they show up at your house because they want to see the dog. Have them arrested for trespassing. Better yet, adopt from the county pound. Then it is actually your dog instead of being on loan from the rescue. Plus you don't have to pay some wacky dog lady several hundred dollars for a stray. If Portia could have told one little white lie, these little girls would still have their dog and the Wacko Mutt Moms would not be having their lives threatened. Lying is not always a bad thing when it saves the love between two girls and a little puppy. My old college bud used to run a dog rescue before she became employable. She says she never would have taken that dog away if it was in a good home, but that she would have asked to see the new home. She doesn't worry about such things anymore though b/c she has a real job. Well, the one lesson learned from this situation is….

Yes I agree the woman from Mutts and Moms is a control freak. But Ellen is also a drama queen. Seriously, there are thousands upon thousands of dogs out there waiting for a home and some tender-loving care. Just adopt another one already. Ok I have no idea why this is such a big deal.

She messed up. I wish that the agency would have given the dog back, but if I would have had to go through what the people at the agency are going through ( death threats, constant calls...) I would have said the hell with everyone too. Anyway to see what I really think go to http://youtube.com/watch?v=ZiKHXIH0WHw There's some extra footage and my take on the whole deal.

They acted on impulse with vengeance on the goodhearted-ness and best interest between a celebrity and deserving children; not with empathy or forethought. In researching the web, PETA, Humane Society, BBB, and SPCA historical information, these owners have not proven themselves respectful or caring. In fact they show spite, more than anything. Reviewing everything to date re. Marina. She still doesn't show any emotion for the human bond between animal and a well deserving family. A reasonable human would not act on impulse driven by a bogus contract but allowed time for review and reasses the situation. A responsible business owner would have responded by now to the media, attorneys, and press with a RESOLUTION and not hiding and REACTING with negativity. When one appears as a villain one would naturally want to disarm the situation; not in this case. Nothing on the news has touched me in such a way that i would be actually reaching out and being an activist. This is Marina's quote: “Celebrities you know, they, they get preferential treatment. They have lots of money. They go into a restaurant they get a table.” Look close at her glasses >. I try not to be judgemental but something doesn't seem right.

If there is a top ten list of down to earth celebrites that will bend over backwords to help others and do what's right its Ellen. So Ellen made an honest mistake that violated her contract, she even admitted it and apollagized... all sincerely I might add. Now all these people are sending Marina Baktis threats and hate mail. This too is wrong and only is making matters worse. Perhaps kinder emails appealing to Marina's good nature would help. Marina should admit that morally she made a mistake as well and make an exception to her "contract" with Ellen, not because she is being asked by a bully celebrety but because she is being asked by a sincere caring celebrity. Obviously, the family who had the dog were caring and loving. The only ones really being hurt by Marina's stubbourness is the poor dog and the little girl who wants to care for the dog so badly. So come on Marina be a noble person and admit that you are going way over board here and make things right. I am sure if Marina gives the dog to the family things will get better. In fact, Ellen should think about letting Marina on the show to give the dog back to the family. This would be a win win situation for everyone involved, the dog, the little girl and her family, Ellen and Marina's business. And I think Ellen should ask her fans to stop sending those horrible emails too. The whole thing is just stupid and out of hand. Make things right people everyone involved has some fault in the whole mess, some more than others (Marina).

My money’s on Degeneres and her hired publicist. You’re gonna take the lawyer’s word? OK, I own this nice little bridge in Brooklyn that I’ll let go really, really cheap. Ellen Degeneres and her over-the-top performance are just one thing that’s wrong with this picture. But for that, this matter would have remained private and there would be no talk of animal rescuers in general losing public support or pet store owners losing business. Another problem: The timeline. Degeneres got the dog less than a month ago. Very few of you seem to get it. Degeneres (not DeGenerous, that’s for sure) is an actress and she used her acting skills in an attempt to get her way. Turn your lights on. I’m with the pet store broads on this one.

Whatever happened to mediation? And why does Mutts & Moms need an attorney named Fink for a media spokesperson? And what in the world was with that comment that stupid attorney made about them not sueing Ellen over the whole dog adoption mess? Here's what was in an AP news story I just read: [quote] Attorney Keith A. Fink, who doesn’t legally represent Baktis and Chekroun (but is authorized to speak on their behalf), confirmed to The Associated Press that the women will not give back Iggy. “She doesn’t think this is the type of family that should have the dog,” Fink told the AP. “She is adamant that she is not going to be bullied around by the Ellen DeGenereses of the world … They are using their power, position and wealth to try to get what it is they want.” Baktis claims that DeGeneres’ celebrity is the sole reason why she’s getting all of this attention. Marina adds though, that she has no plans to sue Ellen. [end quote] WTF? What's Ellen done that any other person wouldn't have done? You rescue a dog and adopt it. It's too hyper for your other household pets so you find it a good loving home. Then somebody decides they can go on a power trip and snatch the dog back? Then Mutts&Moms pretends to be all high & mighty about it when they never even followed their so-called "rules" with this dog adoption or during lots of other dog adoptions... Ellen's the one that should be sueing these heartless bitches!!! Maybe she could get Judge Judy to hear the case! Now that would be juicy!!!! This whole Ellen DeGeneres dog adoption situation has gotten way out of hand…

If we can learn anything from this mess, it's that if you're going to do a dog adoption, only adopt a dog through a legitimate agency like the Humane Society or the SPCA. If you use one of these dog rescue groups for a pet adoption, then your subject to the erratic whims of the people that run them... Bottom line: Adopt a dog the right way and only deal with legit groups, not whackos like Mutts & Moms. Ellen’s dog adoption story is definitely a heartbreaker.

Death threats are a waste of time and as dumb as what she did... but she obviously is not a legit animal lover or woman/person. Ellen did not ask you for special treatment... You, Marina should have minded your own rules!!!!!! I honestly hope that you loose the ability to have anything to do with animals ever again!! I think you are a waste of good energy....... How powerful do you feel now??? I hope Marina and her little power struggle closes her shop down!!!!

Fink told The Associated Press." I think that Vanessa bitch is really the evil one. She's the one who showed up on a Sunday to snatch the dog. And you're right about the power trip thing. It's pretty obvious from their initial threats to Ellen that they were going to call the media and report her violating her "contract." She signed adoption papers for a dog somebody else abandoned. I bet if this family had showed up in the first place to adopt Iggy, they would have approved them right away. So the Mutts & Moms people make a big stink and then they complain about the media attention and the hate mail? They are complete idiots who enjoy being cruel! They should never have bene allowed to run an animal rescue group in the first place! Even the SPCA and the Humane Society out there are against them! So what does that tell you about who's right? “Mutts and Moms owners Marina Batkis and Vanessa Chekroun were in possession of the dog and will not be giving it back, attorney Keith A.

These Mutts & moms people are really on some kind of power trip! That video of them showing up to snatch the dog under the pretense of doing a home inspection in just insane. They obviously came to grab Iggy and run and because they hadn't updated the micrchip like they should have done they get to snatch the dog back? They are just really evil people! Here's a link to Ellen's blog post about Iggy so you can post a comment there as well: http://ellen.warnerbros.com/2007/10/iggy.php I feel so sorry for Ellen because obviously she cares so much about this dog and her friend’s children.
