The two Pomeranian puppies that were stolen from a Langford home have been returned to their owner, according to Reuniting Owners with Animals Missing (ROAM).

Mila and Stripe, two eight-week-old puppies, were taken from Tracy Vandekerkhove’s on Nov. 27. Vandekerkhove was trying to adopt out two litters of Pomeranians at the time.

A couple and a man had come to see the puppies that evening. Vandekerkhove previously said the man had taken off with Mila and Stripe, and the couple gave a fake number to her.

Vandekerkhove did file a police report and ROAM posted pictures of the dog on Facebook.

On Thursday, ROAM posted a comment under their original post that stated the two puppies had been returned and were “home safe.”

ROAM wrote a man had bought Mila as a gift for his daughter and later the family contacted ROAM after they saw they may have one of the stolen puppies. A chip check confirmed the puppy was Mila. The family returned her to Vandekerkhove Thursday.

Another person dropped off Stripe to ROAM on Thursday night.

ROAM also wrote they will work with the man who purchased Mila to try and find him a dog that his daughter will love.

Police have not commented on the investigation at this time.
