MESA, AZ (3TV/CBS 5) — Four of the 11 dogs taken from a house in Chandler were found at a Mesa dog park over the weekend.
“I keep staring at them, it’s something that I hoped and prayed for, but I didn’t know if or when like I said. I’ll never stop looking for them, no matter what, until all of them are found,” said Jeanine Nesvik. Four of those dogs were found at 4 a.m. on Saturday at a dog park near Higley Road and University Drive in Mesa.
Nesvik said that she was working when the dogs were stolen. As a speech pathologist, she often takes those dogs to work to comfort children who have developmental disabilities. “I always share the rescue stories and dogs with the kids that I work with,” said Nesvik. “And I don’t know what to tell them if they’ll see them again.”
“Somebody took it upon themselves to come into my home, break-in, and take my dogs,” Nesvik told Arizona’s Family David Caltabiano on March 30. Seven of them were foster dogs, and the four others were her pets. At last check, she raised $17,000 for a reward leading to the dog’s safe return.
Anyone who has information on who might have taken to dogs or seen the rest of the missing dogs is asked to call Chandler Police.
