Chip chip hooray!

Luna was missing from her family since October but is now back home! Her family says Luna escaped during a storm and they were devastated. Weeks, months passed, and eventually they moved to northern Arizona. Yesterday, our Field Officer got a call about a stray dog and scanned for a microchip—it was Luna! Not only did she have a registered microchip, her family also filed a lost pet report with us. We called them and they happened to be in the valley for the day! They couldn’t wait to see their girl.

“I believe in the Chip, 100%. This is living proof.”

Starlight's Story

10-year-old Starlight was brought into the shelter in mid-March. She was blind, a little timid, and mostly kept to herself. Then, Kammi saw her on social media and couldn't believe it--it was her mom's dog who went missing 5 years ago! She said her mom was inconsolable when she lost "Killa," and she never stopped looking for her. Sadly, her mom passed away two years ago. When Kammi came to the shelter, Killa smelled her and couldn't stop wagging her tail and giving her kisses! 

Kammi said Killa wasn't blind before she went missing, but she's ready to take on that challenge as long as it means having a piece of her family back home.

Layla's Story

A 13-year-old old Chihuahua named Layla came into our shelter as a stray on March 27th. At the time, we didn't know her name was Layla or that a family had been looking for her for TWO YEARS! And Layla soon learned, her family never gave up looking for her. 

Layla was not microchipped, but luckily her determined mom, Connie, scrolls through social media websites for lost pets every night, hoping Layla pops up. Sure enough, she saw a picture of Layla on our MCACC Field Officers Facebook page. 

Connie came to the shelter and the two immediately recognized each other! Layla is now microchipped and back home with her family.
