I read somewhere that these emails being sent around were a hoax. All these people getting worked up over free puppies that don't exist.

I think this is some kind of a spam/fake e-mail going around.

I got the same e-mail from a coworker with the same puppy pictures, but a contact for them in the Atlanta area:

PLEASE FORWARD!!! If you can help - contact Anne at j.rule@comcast.net or if you know anyone at all that can adopt an adorable black lab mix puppy!


THESE VERY CUTE PUPPIES NEED A HOME. PLEASE HELP. IF YOU ARE NOT ABLE TO ADOPT ONE, PLEASE SEND THIS EMAIL TO YOUR FRIENDS. MAYBE WE CAN KEEP THESE CUTIES FROM GOING TO ANIMAL CONTROL

THANKS,
Anne Rule

"Scott rescued 6 black lab (mix) puppies out of the middle of the road on Saturday. PLEASE help me find them homes - otherwise, it's Animal Control - which means they only have 5 days. We've bathed them, sprayed them for fleas and wormed them....but we can't keep them. They are currently in a kennel in my basement since I don't have a fence. I've lost count of the number of rescue groups that I've contacted, only to be turned down due to no room."

Then SPAM it is! That is the EXACT same email we recieved. Uggghhhhh, thats just soooooo f'ed up in soooo many ways.

Mods, please delete this thread or change the title and move it to warn of the "spam puppies". Damn they were cute too.

Uggggh, man do I feel like a sucker.

Edit: We got completely different contact info as well in our email (looks real b/c of the lack of forwards).

Do we need to have a Mid-A puppy day? And invite the local pounds?

Mildly funny in retrospect, but more on the lines of irritating. Using abandoned puppies as internet SPAM is just wrong on so many levels.

Anyone want puppies?
6 black lab (mix) puppies were rescued out of the middle
of the road on Saturday. PLEASE help me find them homes -
otherwise, it's Animal Control - which means they only have
5 days. We've bathed them, sprayed them for fleas and wormed
them....but we can't keep them. They are currently in a
kennel in my basement since I don't have a fence. I've lost count
of the number of rescue groups that I've contacted, only to be
turned down due to no room. Please check with every dog
person you know to see if they need a puppy.
