So she's a moron who can't read a contract.
I don't know Ellen D, but if I were to venture a guess, it would be that she thought that, as a celebrity, rules and contracts didn't apply to her the same way they apply to "little people."

If you tried to give away a baby for 'having too much energy', you'd most likely be looking at jail/prison time.

A good defense attorney would put other young parents on the jury.  Good chance they'd walk. Wink
Uh, no.  Likely they'd throw the book at them.  Most parents understand the deal, but also understand the obligation involved.

This is from a parent who's 3YO boy was granted, by popular accliam, "Most energetic in his class" by the parents of the other kids.

Well, I'm just glad to know that the cops are doing important stuff like inforcing pet adoption contracts, instead of trivial stuff like catching murderers, rapists, armed robbers, burglars, etc ... rolleyes

Why is this news?

The owner of the placement agency has had to close up shop after receiving numerous death threats and a nasty call for Ellen's publicist.  I wouldn't be surprised if they end up going out of business.  I guess the rules don't apply to everyone.

If there was a violation of the contract with Ellen Degenerate, then that is a civil matter, and the pet place would need to sue to try to enforce the contract.

It would depend on the language of the contract and the laws in that state.

I think where TallPine lives, it would be a good idea to call first before one came over to repo the dog. grin

That statement is more true than you know, and would apply to 95% of my neighbors as well.  Wink

Boohoo, but I'm a celebrity, boohoo...

another That 70's show Red quote...."Dumbass!"

I saw a clip on the news last night of Ellen quoting   "Apparently, I signed something that stated I couldn't give the dog away...."  Hmm, how about her employer refuse to honor her employment contract and see how she handles it.  That would be fun wouldn't it.
