She signed a contract, as a celebrity, you would think she would know all about them (contracts that is), she should have referred back to her copy of the contract and went about thing the right way.
The family should have cooperated with the rescue and maybe they would have been able to submit an adoption application and done things the right way and got the dog back. I'm sure they have burnt that bridge though.
Kids suffer when their parents don't do things the right way. The kids are the innocent ones.
