Yes,don't get dogs from adoption agencies.Get them from breeders,and don't sign anything saying these people have any rights to this dog anymore.You will see that this is gunna result in people not wanting to take dogs from these agencies anymore.Buyers don't need this ****.I have seen some of these adult MINPINS that need homes,and I have the set up to give them happy homes,and was gunna maybe get another one in December.Now,I will not go on those sites anymore.I will buy a pup from a breeder,and it will be because this bitch took this dog away from a couple human beings who loved him.That is just not cool.That is not the way to deal with it.It's overkill.Find some middle ground,and start thinking about humans a lil more.
We do think mainly of the humans. That's the problem. Overkill is what we do to excess dogs that are inconvenient to humans. It's a uniquely American attitude of disposability - they buy it, they toss it when it's no longer wanted.

That's why those agencies, with all the contracts, have come to exist in the first place. Adoptive homes ending up being worse homes than where the dog came from. Try to adopt an ex-racing greyhound from some groups - some have contracts that say you can't ever let the dog off leash (for example, in a dog park). Some are the "permanent owner" of the dog.

Every breeder I know has a contract that says the dog comes back to them if it's ever not wanted. Not every breeder that exists, certainly. Anyone who watches their dogs have sex calls themselves a "breeder", and the term means little to nothing, as obviously, it depends upon the person behind the term.

Those that want a dog without being beholden to anyone else about what happens to that dog during it's life have a multitude of places to obtain one from. It won't make any dent in the more controlling agencies, in my view.
Some folks obviously would be better off with stuffed toys rather than living animals.

Well,I have this American Eskimo Mix of some sort.I took him in,because quite honestly I am already tied down with other dogs. I didn't like want this dog.I took him in because he needed to be taken in.So,this situation is a lil like that situation.Somebody got a dog they probably shouldn't have(but the dog would most likely be dead if they hadn't got him from wherever they got him..pound probably.) They found somebody who could take him in,and actually this lady came by and visited him a couple weeks ago.I don't want somebody coming to my house to check up on this dog.He is my responsibility now,but I don't need somebody over here like that.I don't agree with taking dogs away from people who are providing a good home for a dog.Fine ELLEN and her Woman for this,but don't take the dog away from a new home.I don't particularly like the dog much,but he is happy here. I fully expect he will live his life out with me,and he is a more consistent watchdog than the Minpins are(they are under their covers a lot.)

ellen degeneres used to be funny.

now she's another jumbo headed celebrity barely 2 tiers above brittany's level.

her director needs to be fired. her producer needs to grow a set of balls big enough to tell her she's an overwrought idiot. anyone who thinks this dog won't be just as happy wherever it lands is deluded. and the kids would be just as happy with another pet.

they're f'in kids. they already forgot about this as soon as everyone stops reminding them and someone stuffs a kitten in their hand.

when i see crap like this i start to think hitler was an underacheiver.
