All Dog Lovers: I received the email below this morning from a friend of mine that works at NC State. I've called NC State Vet School and verified, and it is true. I'm trying to help out with this so please forward this information to anyone that might be interested. They're beautiful dogs!! Thanks. Lisa All, Laboratory Animal Resources at the Vet School has 9 dogs available to be adopted out immediately. These dogs have been offered before and we had no takers. These dogs will go to a terminal study if we do not have any takers before May 30th. We would much rather see these dogs, who have given so much to research, go to a good home to live out the rest of their lives but can not keep them here any longer. Please contact me before May 30th if you are interested.

You know what, that just sucks. It's like you bust your butt trying to help with something like this and it's not true. Something similar happened not too long ago with a litter of pups. Who would make up this crap??
Actually, if you read the last paragraph of the N&O article, you will see that the school did have 9 dogs to adopt out. I spoke with NC State twice as a matter of fact. Looks like the only thing that wasn't true was that they were going to "put them in a terminal study". So, this really was not an untrue email.
Craigslist I read on the pet section of Raleigh craigslist that all of the dogs have been adopted. (Taking craigslist info with a grain of salt of course)
maybe I could get one like Underdog who could fight crime and save the world..or have some othr super power....maybe it could talk....or be a spy....or at least do the laundry.... MY luck I'd get one that would spread bubonic plague......
I would love to take in another...But my one dog has addison's disease and another animal in the house would literally kill her. I had to find a home for our 3rd springer spaniel about 2 weeks after we paid $800 for her.
