This adoption was very special today as it wasn’t just an adoption, but this sweet boy went BACK to his family!
Augie (we called him Waylonn) came to us almost 2 weeks ago after being found as a stray here in Bourbon County. He made his big debut at PetSmart this weekend and his family found out we had him this whole time! Somehow this sweet boy went missing near Red River Gorge and ended up all the way in Paris — which is about 65 miles away from home. He was a sweet boy with us, but had never been as happy as he was when he was reunited with his family.
We aren’t sure how Augie ended up with us here, but we would like to remind the community how important it is to take pets you find to the shelter in that same county. If a pet’s family lives in one county and they are taken to another county shelter or organization, they may not find them. Now, Augie is microchipped and is headed right back where he’s supposed to be!
