The End for Shaggy

I got a call this Tuesday from the Shelter in San Jose.  Shaggy was picked up by his owners.  Given that the Shelter is closed Monday, Shaggy was picked up late Friday and the chip company is strictly 9-5 M-F.  The shelter had to have called the owners today.  The head of the shelter said they came right out to get him.  Given she called me around noon I suspect his owners dropped everything, and came right into the shelter.

PS- Months later I encountered Shaggy on leash on a walk in the neighborhood with his owner.  She relates he got out of the yard on 4th.  They live maybe a mile away.  She adopted the dog as a semi-feral stray.  He originally been living a creek near Alum Rock Park.

  1. Well, since we can't know for sure, let assume that that is a happy ending.

  2. That sounds like a happy ending to me. I hope he remembered them.

  3. Funny thing last month I ran into Shaggy and his owner. He was apparently a semi-reformed feral who escaped the backyard during the 4th of July. He was only about a mile from home. He seemed happy with his person.
