Family whose dog died at Petsmart finds new pup
Family whose dog died at Petsmart finds new pup
Dog dies while in the care of Tucson Petsmart
Another family saw the story on KGUN, and found another dog a new home.
TUCSON, Ariz. - A happy update to a sad story from just a few weeks ago.
Kaitlyn Nowak and her family were devastated when they boarded their dog at a Petsmart and found out he died in the store's custody. Employees were taking Rufus to the vet when he ran into the street and was hit by a car.
When we first spoke to the family, they said they weren't ready to adopt another pet yet. That's when another woman contacted KGUN9 with a proposal. She ended up with a doggie named Ozzie after his owner died. She asked us to talk with the Nowak family and see if they wanted to take Ozzie.
It turns out, they did -- and Ozzie happily took to the new home.
