The story is wild. According to the family, Cha Cha the dog got very sick, the vets told them it was organ failure and diabetic ketoacidosis… so the family decided euthanisia was the best course of action. The family said goodbye in March, paid the bill, and went home grieving. But according to the family, someone at that hospital was very attached to Cha Cha, because a worker took her home instead. Months later, Rebecca (the owner of Cha Cha) was scrolling Facebook and saw a photo. Her words: “I knew scrolling like that’s my dog.” Even more wild…the vet’s husband confirmed it, his wife not only had Cha Cha, but he says the pug was in GOOD HEALTH.
The dog they were told was dying was actually ALIVE and DOING WELL. But it gets worse. When the family went to the hospital, managers DENIED IT, Rebecca says they got a LAWYER and won’t talk about it. Then, the family believes, the hospital put Cha Cha down to hide what happened. Rebecca’s words: “The fact that they put a healthy dog down. That’s just sick.” And this is NOT the first time. Earlier this year, another family said their cat Annie was supposed to be euthanized at the SAME hospital, and a worker took her home too. The hospital admitted it “fell short” that time. And Annie? She was put down too. So twice now, a dog or cat has been alive and cared for after the family said goodbye. …this is beyond insane

Folks say:
- I have a question. If they loved Cha Cha so much, weren’t they there when she took her last breath? Unfortunately I’ve been through that scenario several times and I wouldn’t even think of letting my dog take their last breath without me by their side. – MSMAC
- Vet tech here. It’s not uncommon for owners to sign over their pets to veterinary hospitals for various reasons, including the cost of medical care. And yes, many veterinary professionals have adopted these animals and given them loving homes. It happens more often than people realize. – kelly P
- First thing that struck me is that people don’t stay with their beloved pets when they are put to sleep. We just put our 19 year old cat to sleep a month ago. In the room with him were me and my husband, four of our kids and one girlfriend. The fifth child lives on the other side of the country. I do not let me beloved animals cross over without being there to hold and love them. – Danielle
- The family probably declined to save their pug due to the cost involved and opted for euthanasia instead. The vet techs took pity and saved the pug/cat. I’ve seen it happen. The veterinary clinics across America are owned by corporations now and vets have few options to lower prices or change operating procedures.
