The San Diego Humane Society said a microchip matched Colby to a missing-pet report and helped officers return him to his family.
- On Wednesday, a San Diego, California family reunited with their missing Maltipoo, Colby, after Humane Law Enforcement officers discovered the six-year-old dog abandoned at a safe sleeping site.
- Humane Law Enforcement officers found the animal on Tuesday evening 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 before his homecoming.
- Owner Cindy told her children the news around 9:30 p.m. and spent the night gathering supplies. She said, "We're just so happy today that we got our Colby back after three years."
- Animal welfare officials emphasized that microchips remain essential for reuniting lost pets, particularly when contact details stay current. The family also opted to have Colby neutered before bringing him home.
