Sheba the Yorkie

Rain is probably the biggest deterrent for our four-legged friends, especially when they need to use the bathroom. Sheba’s owners fashioned her a rain proof tent so she could do her business without being rained on, but Sheba, was still petrified of being wet and went into hiding.

“We always stay on the porch while she does her business, but this time my husband came back in for a  few minutes and forgot to tell me Sheba was still outside,” said Teresa, Sheba’s owner. Teresa darted to the door to bring her in from her potty pet, but Sheba, was gone.

“We searched everywhere” said Teresa. “We notified the shelter, lost and found pet sites, AKC Reunite, and even our neighbors.” But since it was still raining out, and Sheba doesn’t bark often, her owners dreaded they wouldn’t have a chance of possibly finding her until the sky cleared up.

“Finally, after a couple hours of searching we came back in and just prayed. We heard a noise in the back room, and went and looked, and there she was, scared to death and shivering,” said Teresa. “At some point she must’ve come back inside while the door was open, and we were out searching!”

Visibly shocked, scared, and wet, Sheba clung to her owners for comfort after her terrible excursion in the rain. But thankfully, she was home and unharmed.

“Even though we were fortunate that she came home on her own, we were comforted somewhat knowing that AKC Reunite’s network was helping us and that if she was found and taken to a vet or shelter, she could be identified,” said Teresa. “We are so thankful for the outpouring of love and care from our neighbors and all those we reached out too!”
