First, find out what the laws are in your state regarding property. In some states it is up to 3 years to claim. The microchip company appears to have screwed up IMO. In my state we have to notify the local shelters that we have a lost pooch. You must have made an effort to find the dog.
Second, let the new owners know and investigate what kind of conditions the doggie is living in before you decide what to do. The sitter may have simply given him to the new owners as someone said. If that is the case, you definitely want to claim him.
Put the dog first in anything you do. That will help you decide what to do. Hope this helps.
