I am actually behind Mutts and Moms decision to reclaim the dog. Ellen had that dog less than a month before giving him to someone else. In one months time, a rescued dog is often not settled enough to show true personality. The rescue may have had a different take on what a good home for Iggy was? Perhaps their assessment of Iggy showed he wasn't a good fit in a family with kids under 12? (sorry I don't know if Ellen and her partner have kids or not) Or maybe they were concerned about what Ellen said about him being too high energy and wanted to get to know him?
They could also have information about the haridressers family that isn't being shared??? Like they intend to keep the dog outside, they rent and the landlord doesn't allow pets, or upon arrival found Iggy to be poorly cared for.....
In the end, Mutts and Moms made a lifetime commitment to this dog, Ellen violated her contract (this is a standard clause by the way) and if she was having problems should have contacted the rescue.
