KANSAS CITY, Mo. —A Kansas City couple came home to find their house burglarized and their beloved golden retriever missing.
"We come into the living room and the back door is wide open and the dogs are gone," said Jordan Sachoffstall.
He and Cassie Wiggs said they found their puppy, Nawla, within a few hours. But Heidi was nowhere to be found.
They searched everywhere and posted items on social media in hopes it would help get Heidi back.
They said everything seemed hopeless until they got a phone call from Wayside Waifs.
"They said that they had our baby," Wiggs said. "A good man had brought her in and he was taking care of her, letting her sleep in his bed, and that's all I wanted."
"We had to tell ourselves that somebody who loves dogs like we do is going to have her in their house and they are going to keep her warm and they are going to feed her and they are going to bring her home to us," Sachoffstall said
Matt McClain said he took pity on Heidi when he found her outside his house. He said he lives on the opposite side of Interstate 49 from Heidi's owners.
"Last night it was nasty and stormy out, and she was outside on my front porch howling, wanting someone to bring her in," he said.
He said he took her to Wayside Waifs.
"We walked in the front door and she's standing right there in the lobby waiting for us, crying. And she just ran to us," said Sachoffstall.
Heidi is now back home with her family.
