"Roxy heard her owner come into the shelter and went nuts."

"Roxy heard her owner come into the shelter and went nuts."

Thank you to Genny K. for messaging Microchip Hunters yesterday morning. A 6-year-old Rottweiler came into Paws Tinley Park with a police officer. She was microchipped.

Microchip Hunters called the number on file, but there was no voicemail set up, so a text with her photo was sent. We wanted to get her home quickly.

When I didn’t get a reply right away, I tried the emergency contact, but had to send a text there too.

I did some additional research and found another possible number connected to an address just a half mile from where Roxy was found. Originally, the address on file showed Mokena.

I received a call back, and Roxy’s family wanted to pick her up immediately! She had been missing for 7 or 8 hours.

“She’s part of our family.”

Genny later messaged me and said:

“Roxy heard her owner come into the shelter and went nuts. The man came running in huffing and puffing asking for Roxy. Best reunion!!! I wish we would have video of it!”

Roxy’s owner told us:

“She’s my little girl and I’m happy to have her back. Thank you again for reaching out and getting her back home so quickly.”

I also put in a request to update the microchip information with the family’s correct address and phone number.

Welcome home, Roxy, to the family that loves you so much!!!
