My partner and I were walking our 3 dogs this morning and came across this golden retriever who was wandering alone in our neighborhood. If you recognize her, or might know who her owner is, please contact me. We’d like to find her regular home and are keeping her with us till we do.
A happy ending to our little story. Sadie apparently resides in Renton, albeit a couple of miles from our abode. Somehow she safely journeyed a couple of miles through town where she ended up in our neighborhood. On Wednesday she was safely returned to her owners. 
The way we were able to find her owners is that a local vet did a check for a microchip (for free) on the dog and that’s how we learned where she came from originally. Those owners had given her away but had contact with the family that they’d given her to, so they helped track down the current owners. Had the past owner not had the dog microchipped Sadie wouldn’t be back with her family. If you own a pet it is a good thing to have it chipped for situations just like this one. It also reminded me that with our recent move to this new neighborhood, we need to update all of our pet’s chip information in case we run into our own wandering pup in the future.
Buyers/Sellers – consider having your pet(s) chipped and be sure to update the info when you move!
