foiled...

today my husband sends me an email that he got from a friend, saying that he found 6 abandoned lab puppies on the side of the road while he was biking... there's a picture of them, they look so sad, so off we go on a crusade to try and save these puppies... i even called the animal shelter i used to volunteer at to see if i could get them in... 

after chatting with a friend of mine, i find out the whole thing is another damn email scam... another urban legend... damn you people who do these types of things...

i knew that when the email said that no rescue groups would take them, that should've been a tip-off... any rescue group, especially for pure breeds, would try their hardest to make it work... 

it also occurred to me that when trying to reach out to animal shelters with such a predicament, they don't make it easy... the found animals have to have been found in the city or area that the shelter supports... and what if that shelter is full?  what happens next?  there has got to be a better way... 

even though i feel silly at the moment for believing this email, i am glad that it's not true...
