Gizmo, an 11-year-old Chihuahua mix, was found more than nine years after he disappeared from his owner's house in Las Vegas. Gizmo is said to be in 'rough shape' but improving.
A Las Vegas woman is rejoicing that her dog is safely back home nearly a decade after he first disappeared. Judith Monarrez, 37, was 28 years old when her 2-year-old Chihuahua mix named Gizmo slipped out of her backyard on Feb. 3, 2015, as the Associated Press reported. A Facebook page set up to find the dog said that someone spotted Gizmo being put into a 'reddish car' — but after that, he was simply nowhere to be found.
That is, until July 17, 2024, when Monarrez received the email she had been waiting for all these years: Someone had found Gizmo. The dog had been recovered in Henderson, Nevada, and dropped off at an emergency veterinarian's office. At the vet, his microchip was scanned, and the microchip alerted Monarrez that her precious pup had been found. 'He was dropped off by a woman at the Animal Emergency Center in Henderson,' wrote Monarrez on the 'Bring Gizmo Home' Facebook page.
