GLOUCESTER, Mass. -- A family has been reunited with its dog, months after it had been stolen.
That family had just started looking for a new dog when they came across an advertisement online describing a dog that sounded just like their missing one.
The pitbull mix had been stolen in July of last year from Christine Amaro’s home.
“So much anxiety kicking in and I was like oh I wonder if she is going to remember me,” Christine said.
She had posted flyers and checked local shelters with no luck.
“When you lose your dog, your wits leave you. You just become overwhelmed,” Mary Lou Maraganis of All Dog Rescue said.
This March Lexus was dropped off at All Dogs Rescue in Gloucester, where they had a hard time adopting the 9-year-old dog, which turned out to be good news for Amaro.
“We hadn’t had an adopter the whole time I had her since March,” Mary Lou added.
Meanwhile, Amaro had been online searching shelters when she spotted a familiar face.
“I’m just really overwhelmed with everything, I just can’t wait to hurry up and get her home so the rest of the kids can see her,” Christine said.
It could have happened months ago but Lexus did not have a microchip, she does now.
