Ellen's puppy problem

Adoption isn't easy -- as Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi found out when they tried to rescue a dog recently. According to TMZ, Ellen and Portia brought home Iggy, a Brussels Griffon mix, only to realize that he didn't get along with Ellen's cats. So they tried to give the pup to her hairdresser, who has two kids. Everyone's happy, right? Not quite. On Sunday, a rep from the adoption agency came by the hairdresser's house, accusing Ellen of violating her adoption contract, and had cops come to take the dog away. "I kept saying, 'If you want to be mad at me, be mad at me, but don't take it out on the family. Don't take it out on the dog,'" Ellen said. Doggone right.
