Gorp was brought to us on January 21st as a stray. An initial scan for a microchip didn’t turn up anything. He was placed in a foster home for about 2 months to get some extra medical support, but over the weekend, he stopped eating and was brought in to get some blood work and X-rays done. During the X-ray, it was revealed that he had an original microchip that had migrated down to his chest (this is super rare)! Our team was able to scan it, but unfortunately, the phone numbers were out of date.
With some serious detective work and dedication, our team was able to track down Gorp’s owner on Facebook and get in touch with her. It turns out that Gorp’s name is Cricket. His family has had him since he was 5 weeks old (now 15), and he hikes with them like a dog. They were distraught as he takes daily medication and knew he would struggle without it.
We are thrilled to say that Cricket was reunited with his family yesterday! There were lots of happy tears. Cricket’s mom says, “Cricket has always done things on his terms and isn’t afraid of anything.” Cricket will be back with his family, living his best and most loved life.
