Here’s the email that’s going around. Hope someone can help:

Dear Friends –
Many of you have heard that Roberta, Annaliese, and I have the
opportunity to spend the coming year in Argentina.
To those of you who are hearing of this for the first time, I apologize
for the inanimate delivery of this news – more details will follow in
subsequent email.

Today, however, I have a favor to ask of you all.
We are leaving in early December and have yet to find a home with loving
owners to welcome our dog to their families.
I am hoping that you, or someone you might know, might be a willing
candidate….

Izzy is a 4-year old mixed breed Australian shepherd/?? She’s a great
size, about 30 lbs, and is a good house dog who also loves a run in the
open. Izzy came to us from foster care and was somewhat skittish at
first, but she has grown into a settled and faithful pet.

Please let me know if you are interested, and feel free to forward to
others you think might be possibilities.
Folks can contact me at [email protected] or by phone at 828.215.6994,
or they can contact Roberta at [email protected], 828.215.9103
Thanks so much!
Harry

Most of the local adoption agencies will take the dog back into foster care so she can be re-homed.

Thanks Jeff. I wasn’t aware of that.

In this case, I know Harry Weiss, so I think this is on the up-and-up.

Jason:

Be warned that most of these types of e-mails are scams that try to extract money from people to deliver the animals. We had a lot of trouble with these types of ads at IWANNA.
