Family Reunites with Dog Missing for Three Years

The San Diego Humane Society said a microchip matched Colby to a missing-pet report and helped officers return him to his family.

  • On September 9, a San Diego, California family reunited with their missing Maltipoo, Colby, after Humane Law Enforcement officers discovered the abandoned animal at a safe sleeping site.
  • Humane Law Enforcement officers found the animal on September 8 at 2209 Kincaid Road; a microchip scan revealed Colby had been reported missing since September 27, 2023.
  • Colby arrived flea-infested with a skin infection beneath matted fur. The San Diego Humane Society medical team provided grooming, vaccines, and a wellness check to prepare him for homecoming.
  • "We're just so happy today that we got our Colby back after three years," owner Cindy said. She and her son, Gregory, gathered supplies overnight before his return.
  • Animal welfare officials emphasized that microchips work, though keeping contact details current remains essential. The family also opted to have Colby neutered before bringing him home.
