Overview
- Lola, found in Echo Park in February, was scanned for a microchip that identified owner Michelle Bluestone.
- Bluestone adopted the schnauzer mix in 2018, and the dog slipped out of a Reseda backyard in 2021 despite weeks of searches and flyers.
- Reports said Lola arrived with matted fur, overgrown nails, and severe dental disease, with some outlets noting as many as 11 teeth removed.
- Video of the shelter reunion showed an emotional Bluestone, and she says Lola is recovering well and settling in with her household and another dog.
- Lola’s whereabouts during the missing years remain unknown, and shelters say routine chip scans are what make long-shot reunions like this possible.
