Stephanie Moore-Malmstrom thought it was a joke when she received a message stating that her dog, Sheba, had been located in a city more than 600 miles away. “Where are my million dollars and my cruise?” was my first thinking. According to Moore-Malmstrom, The Dodo. “Someone’s coming me,”
Sheba was found by a police officer using her microchip, but Moore-Malmstrom remained unconvinced. However, even though the puppy was much older, Moore-Malmstrom recognized Sheba the moment she saw her on a Video chat. “Oh my God, you have my dog, you have our kid,” I screamed,” stated Moore-Malmstrom.
Sheba was soon in the air, heading home, thanks to Pilots N Paws, a group devoted to saving animals by flying them back to their family or no-kill shelters. Moore-Malmstrom was in awe to be finally seeing her puppy after such a long time when Sheba got off the plane. When Sheba spotted Moore-daughters, Malmstrom’s she dashed over in a state of excitement. Sheba was happy to calm down and enjoy her family’s affection now that she was finally safe in their arms.
Sheba was seized from the Moore-Malmstrom family’s Baytown, Texas, yard in 2018 and taken to the Texas Panhandle, where she was eventually adopted and raised by a family for four and a half years, the Moore-Malmstroms later concluded. Sheba’s new owners decided they didn’t want to take care of her after the family had to move and rehome her, so they abandoned her on the street. When an animal control officer discovered Sheba and ran a microchip scan on her, she was living outside and being cared for by a local teenager.
Moore-Malmstrom is extremely appreciative to Borger Animal Control and Friends of Texas Panhandle Shelter Pets for their assistance in returning Sheba. Moore-Malmstrom expressed her gratitude toward the community for their efforts in returning her to her. Sheba seemed incredibly appreciative to be back with her family. Even though they have been away for a long time, they still have the rest of their life to make up for it.
