RCHS paid to fly volunteer Karen Zinser across the country with Papi to make this reunion happen. Author: Steve Price (Reporter) Updated: 6:47 PM PDT May 25, 2021
ENCINITAS, Calif. It s a reunion more than 2,000 miles in the making.
In March, Yohama arrived at the border in Calexico, seeking asylum from Cuba. She came to the United States with her dog, Papi, but when she got to the border, Yohama was taken into custody and Papi was sent to a local animal shelter.
Yohama was eventually released to relatives, but had to fly with them to Florida. She had no chance to get Papi back and the shelter didn t know where she was.

Meet Newt, a very smart, very unusual Husky, Corgy mix who is up for adoption at the Rancho Coastal Human Society. Newt is 3-1/2 year old, 30 pound, female, who was transferred from a crowded shelter in Riverside County.
If you just see her face, she looks like a Husky. But she has short, Corgi legs. She loves attention, cuddling and fetching her squeaky toys. Newt is smart and easily responds to these commands: Sit, Turn around, Wait, Stay, Come here, and Lay Down.” She does need work on not pulling on a leash, though.
Newt lived with cats and livestock (horses, etc.), but her family was having another baby and didn’t have time for her.
