The shelter was concerned that a dog like Chise would never be adopted.
Some kind people saw him running through the streets with two other dogs, and an officer was able to take him.
Chise’s past, however, remained a mystery in the absence of a chip or identification collar. He was very reserved and shy.
He was never able to adapt during his time in the shelter.
Chise was checked out and moved to the adoption floor after being detained for five days.
The vet was concerned that the shy puppy would never find a home. But, miraculously, his family discovered him.
Chise vanished from his home last November. His family advertised and traveled for months in search of him, but to no avail.
They only recognized their beloved dog when they saw the post on the shelter’s Facebook page and came to get him the same day.
Chise changed dramatically in an instant when he saw his family walk through the shelter’s door.
Fortunately, the staff member pulled out her camera at the perfect moment to capture the touching reunion.
