The agency reported Tuesday that John, a three-month-old Chihuahua-Pomeranian mix, was located by Gresham police after receiving an anonymous tip from someone who saw the puppy and recognized it as John. Officers and an OHS staff member responded to a residence in Gresham, where they found the puppy.
?Folks in Oregon care deeply about pets and social media pressure was outstanding,? said Sharon Harmon, OHS executive director. ?I think when they realized they had a hot puppy so to speak they were eager to return him to the shelter.?
According to OHS, no arrests have been made at this time. Harmon said Portland police are still investigating. The details regarding how the puppy was found were not disclosed.
OHS reported that John was taken from a locked kennel Saturday afternoon, just minutes before he was to go home with the Belzer family of Camas, Wash., who had just adopted him.
?We were just shell shocked, disappointed,? father Mike Belzer said. ?The girls cried a lot of tears, and it was a real, real quiet ride home.
However, the Belzers were reunited with John at OHS Tuesday afternoon.
?They brought him in and our eyes just lit up,? said Madison Belzer, one of three girls in the family. ?We were really happy. I started tearing up a little bit. I was excited.?
Madison?s sister Lauren calls this the ?best Christmas ever.?
??He (John) was in my arms when I first met him, and he?s there again now, so it?s good,? Lauren said.
