A Michigan woman drove 1,400 miles to return a lost dog to her Florida home - only for the owner to refuse to take her back.

Blue, a pitbull mix, was found wandering around on a country road in Midland, Michigan on March 3.

She was taken to the Humane Society of Midland County's animal shelter and they found via her microchip that her owner lived in Lehigh Acres, Florida.

The shelter managed to contact Blue's owner and a volunteer offered to drive the dog all the way back to the Sunshine State.

A Michigan woman drove Blue, a pitbull mix, 1,400 miles to return her to her Florida home over the weekend but the owner said she no longer wanted the dog. Blue is pictured above during the 20-hour journey back to her home


The owner was said to be excited that Blue had been found after thinking she had been stolen.

But by the time the volunteer had driven Blue more than 20 hours over the weekend, the owner had changed her mind and decided she didn't want to take her dog back.

'She gave up the dog after I drove more than 1,400 miles,' the volunteer told the Detroit Free Press.

'The only thing she said was she doesn't have time to train the dog, she doesn't have time for the dog.'

The volunteer, who used vacation days for the trip, said Blue was 'very excited' when they first got to the house.

Blue's owner told the volunteer she had no connection to Michigan so it was a mystery how the dog ended up there.

An animal shelter managed to contact Blue's owner and a volunteer offered to drive the dog all the way back to Florida. But by the time the volunteer had driven Blue more than 20 hours over the weekend, the owner had changed her mind and didn't want to take her back

The volunteer then put Blue back in her car and drove back to Michigan to return her to the animal shelter.

While she described Blue as a 'great dog', the volunteer said she couldn't keep her because she already has four dogs of her own.

In a Facebook post about adopting Blue, the Humane Society of Midland County said: 'We are sad to announce that Blue did not make it home.'

'Due to changing circumstances her family was unable to keep her.

'We want to thank her transporters for their dedication to Blue, as well as everyone else who has helped along the way.

'No one could have predicted this unfortunate turn of events but we can now only focus on what is most important which is finding Blue a forever home.

'If interested in adopting Blue we are accepting applications. She is a young dog with a lot of energy and will need an active family willing to train her. She is housebroken and very sweet.'
 
how the fuck did the dog get all teh way to michigan..??

unless the lady is lowkey selling dogs probably as pure breeds..

and when the person who purchased the dog found out it wasnt, probably told her to come get her dog, since she wouldnt refund the money...

the only scenerio I could think of.

either way....

Im more concerned with all the fuckin children we got in foster care around the world..

that has to fuckin change....
