Dog adoption e-mail scam?

[Odrapnew]

My gf received this e-mail from her boss, who received from someone else(not sure who), who received it from her sister. My GF writes to me "Can we?", but I'm very skeptical. There is a picture attached in the e-mail of a yellow and chocolate lab together. I'd love to pick them up.

Anyone else get this e-mail?

Everyone,


I received this e-mail from my sister. Please forward to anyone you think my being interested in adopting these two labs.

2 Labs Need Home Together
To my dog-loving friends- thought you might have an idea or two...
This family has lost their home and the apartment does not allow dogs.
They are looking for a home for the two Labs. See below.

It is so sad- down to just about a week-male & female - well cared for. Family losing home.
Desperate to find loving home. Already housebroken, trained, love kids, neutered, up to date on shots....what more could you ask for.
But must stay together.

We are moving on April 1st.
Unfortunately, I have still not been able to find a good home for Cookie and Coco.
We're not able to take our beloved dogs with us and I've been desperately trying to find a home for both of them 'together'.
They were raised together and pine without each other.
The Lab rescue have already said that they would probably separate them, so this is my last resort.
Recently I tried to take Coco out in my car alone and she TOTALLY refused to even get into the car without Cookie....!!!!
She absolutely pulled back on her haunches until Cookie was by her side.
Both dogs are in great health, have been spayed and have ID chips implanted under the skin.
Cookie turned 3 December 10th and Coco will be 3 April 1st.
Cookie is mellow-yellow, and just loves her tummy rubbed.. Coco is adorably funny and lives for her "ball".
She also loves the water..... Cookie loves lots of attention.
Both dogs are loyal and love to walk.
They have been raised with my 3 kids running around all over the place, and have survived Sammy's constant hugging and love of 'dress-up', so they are fantastic family dogs.
This is by far one of the most difficult decisions I have ever had to make, but under the circumstances I have no choice.
Please, forward this pic to all you know and help me find a great home for these fabulous dogs.
They are just adorable and it's heartbreaking to let them go.
In a perfect world, I hope that we could find someone local so that we can still keep in touch and visit them.
I pray that someone somewhere can help us keep Cookie and Coco together, and love them just as much as we do.
Thank you all from the bottom of my heart.

It's popular right now. Spam that works on women.

I'm sorry, but that sounds pretty sappy to me. Besides I've seen dogs paired up at the pound all of the time in the past.

edit: even worse it's on snopes.

I thought it sounded familiar. I did a google search, but forgot about snopes.

Ain't that some shit, my mom called me yesterday asking me if I wanted to adopt these exact two labs. She thought I might be interested because I recently had to put my lab/newfoundland mix down, so I spent the last 24 hours trying to decide if I was ready to do it all over again
