The cocker spanial was reunited with his family after seven years. owners, who don't speak English, needed help to respond to the letter sent by the Humane Society. Once they did, Scooby was happily sent home this month. The owners haven't been identified because the Humane Society keeps those records confidential. |
Scooby, who was found as a stray in Arcadia on Jan. 17, wound up with the Pasadena Humane Society, according to spokeswoman Ricky Whitman.
His fur was heavily matted but otherwise Scooby seemed to be a healthy 9-year-old dog.
"He was really cute and had a wonderful temperament," Whitman said.
Workers scanned him for a microchip but found nothing. It wasn't until Pasadena grooming business My Pet Garden trimmed his fur that the chip was found and Scooby's home was identified.
"We scan periodically throughout an animal's stay," Whitman said.
The My Pet Garden groomer who handled Scooby felt certain there was something special about the dog.
"My wife and I prayed over the dog for him to get a home," said Shannon O'Donnell. "He was tugging like crazy trying to get somewhere. There was some urgency to what he was doing."
