Congratulations again! So happy Armani was returned to you!
From your description of his old wounds, it does not sound like he was ever taken to a vet, as bite wounds that are treated properly usually heal smoothly and may only leave a small scar.
Also, if he had been taken to a vet, he would have been scanned at some point while there and you would have been notified.
The pitt was more than likely sold at the same time too.
When I legally got my pets from the HS, I took them right to the vet to verify their microchips, I wanted to be sure I did adopt someone else's pet, and I wanted the chips checked with different scanners to be sure they worked as intended. My Biewer's international chip does not read on my vet's scanners, so I had her rechipped.
I remember a while back where AC Officers were taking found dogs and keeping them, or getting them for relatives and friends, so it does sound like something shady is going on there. Thank God for the honest employee who scanned your dog and called you. Bless his heart.
Big Hugs from us! |
