Family Reunited With Dog 9 Years After He Went Missing

Nine years ago, Lloyd adopted a three-month-old Boxer puppy named Boozer. Five months later, Boozer went missing from his home when the family moved from Tennessee to Alabama. Lloyd had Boozer microchipped, but was he was never able to find him. Years passed, but Lloyd never stopped thinking about the lost pup.

Eventually, Boozer was taken in by another family, but they recently dropped him off at a Denver animal shelter when they could no longer care for him. They never updated Boozer's microchip information.

After scanning Boozer's original microchip and finding Lloyd's information, the shelter sent Lloyd's wife an email with a simple subject line: "Boxer dog." His wife was in disbelief, but Lloyd knew right away his long-lost Boozer was waiting to come home. So, he and his two kids packed up the car and drove nearly 3,000 miles and 18 hours each way to reunite with Boozer in Colorado. Lloyd was crying as he anxiously waited to see Boozer emerge from the shelter doors. It's like they never skipped a beat!

Boozer, now 10 years old, has been through so much. Finally, he's home for good. Boozer hasn't left Dad's side, and he fits in perfectly with the family's other rescued animals.
