Stolen puppy returned to the Humane Society of Huron Valley

Chilly, a 9-week-old American bulldog puppy, has returned to the Humane Society of Huron Valley after being stolen from the Superior Township facility Dec. 18.

A Humane Society cruelty investigator retrieved the puppy from a home in Ann Arbor late last night, Marketing Director Deb Kern said.

Chilly, a 9-week-old American bulldog puppy, has returned safely to her home at the Humane Society of Huron Valley after being stolen last week.

“She is back, she’s no worse for the wear, and she’s doing great,” Kern said. “We’re very happy to have her back.”

Chilly is deaf and was being treated for an infection before her disappearance.

The Humane Society acted on an anonymous tip from a caller who had read about the missing dog on AnnArbor.com. Kern said the caller refused the $500 reward.

The Washtenaw County Sheriff’s Department is investigating the abduction, and officials there did not return calls seeking comment. The Humane Society said it could not release any further details on the crime.

In the meantime, Kern said Chilly is being well taken care of and should be eligible for adoption within the next two weeks, after she finishes her medical treatment and is spayed.

“We’re going to keep a good eye on her and take good care of her, just like we do with all the animals here,” she said.
