Riley’s Firework Freak Out!
REUNITED: In a few hours
Late night fireworks encouraged Riley the Goldendoodle to escape the safety of the car on America’s Birthday! Thanks to a microchip enrolled with AKC Reunite, our 24/7 Reuniters Helpline, and an animal shelter open on the holiday, Riley was reunited!
“Riley bolted out of a car door from fear of fireworks and ran away around midnight on the Fourth of July,” said Lisa, Riley’s owner. “And unfortunately, she didn’t come back when called!”
This is the first time Riley has taken off, and on such a chaotic evening, the search was excruciating! Lisa’s family searched by foot and car for over two hours but Riley was long-gone. Thankfully, the search came to an abrupt halt when Lisa was contacted with the good news — Riley had been rescued!
“I got a phone call from a local animal shelter, saying someone had turned her in, and that she was okay,” said Lisa. “I picked her up from the shelter, and she was anxious, but healthy and unhurt!”
“She had an Airtag on but we believe it covered her ID tag [which is why she was turned in], so having the microchip made all the difference in getting her back to us! There are no words to express our gratitude. Our girl is back home!”
