Gorda, a female chihuahua, was brought into the Santa Maria Animal Shelter at the beginning of April.
Employees at the shelter said when they checked to see if Gorda was microchipped they found her registration at a shelter in Las Vegas.
Organizers with The Santa Barbara County Animal Services did some research and were able to find and reach out to the owner in Las Vegas. Having this out-of-state connection and the owner looking for her is super rare and really exciting, said Santa Barbara County Animal Services Outreach Coordinator, Michele Maltun.
