Unbelievable that this email has reached me in Barrie, Ontario. I had a friend interested in adoption them but I understand that they have been place, glad to hear. Love the power of the internet when it’s for the “good”.

the dogs have been adopted and are in a very loving home. it was not a hoax, but they were adopted over a month ago. the owner never was anyone named Yazmin Gil and they were never in FL.thanks for your concern.

The lady that owns the dogs is:

These are the numbers that appear on my e-mail about Coco & Cookie which I got last week. Hope they find a good home.

Thanks Jill. I think this is real and not a hoax. These dogs need a home and it’s not the fault of the owner that their email made it around the globe.

Just curious where’s everyone from that has received this email – has it truly made its way around the world?

Seth, I just clicked on that link and it’s to my Petfinder page where I did a courtesy listing for the dogs after my co-worker forwarded me their story. As soon as someone wrote me and sent a link to another ad for them showing that they were in Los Angeles, I removed them from my Petfinder page.

This is getting crazy.

Yeah, I got the same e-mail from a co-worker who got it from a friend. So, I posted it, and I got several people wanting to help the girls right after I found out the girls are in Los Angeles! I’m in Sumter, SC. Nobody seems to know exactly what is going on.

I don’t know if there was a miscommunication somewhere or if this is just an incredibly horrible hoax.

A little more Googling allowed me to find the Petfinder.com record:

A version of this e-mail is circulating with the name Lara Katz listed as the contact. A friend of mine contacted her and found out that she isn’t affiliated in any way with these dogs. Please don’t forward this message if Lara Katz is indicated as the contact! She is overwhelmed with people calling and e-mailing her!

I received the same e-mail and am trying to determine if it was legit.

The e-mail I received for Katherine was KJMorris74@yahoo.com
