Casper needed a little extra help getting home

A huge thank you to Carlos for taking Casper in and bringing him to Chicago Animal Care and Control to be scanned for a microchip. CACC attempted to call the phone number listed on the chip, but it was no longer working. Carlos also tried the address on file, but the family no longer lived there.

Carlos then submitted the microchip to Microchip Hunters, and the search began. After multiple attempts calling various phone numbers connected to family members through research, I finally received a text back: “Oh yes! She did say they lost their dog,” along with a current phone number!

Just a minute later, I received a call confirming that Casper belonged to an ex who only speaks Spanish. She offered to help with the reunite, but it turned out Carlos speaks Spanish too, making things even easier! Carlos told me that Ricardo was crying on the phone, he was so happy that Casper was safe.

Arrangements were made for today, and this wonderful reunion photo says it all.

Be sure to check out the video in the comments, it’s especially sweet when you see the moment Casper realizes his family is there!

Thank you to everyone involved in guiding this reunion, and to Carlos and his family for the wonderful care Casper received the few days he was with you! He was a lucky boy!
