Instagram Post Leads to Reunion With Boston Terrier Stolen in 2022

Rescue social media can reunite long-missing pets with their families.

Overview

  • A Los Angeles rescue’s Instagram post of a Boston Terrier pulled from a city shelter led the owner to identify her as Baeya and reunite with her.
  • The post went up only after a planned adopter visit was canceled the day before, according to Wags & Walks.
  • Baeya was taken from Shelton’s front porch in July 2022, and he spent years searching with flyers and a small business that used her face.
  • Wags & Walks says the dog had been found as a stray and processed through the municipal system, and where she lived during the gap remains unknown.
  • Rescue groups often pull pets from crowded city shelters and share them online, and advocates urge owners to microchip pets and keep contact details current.
