Vanessa Williams Helps Pets Find Their Way Home Again

In this photo provided by Home Again, Ugly Betty television series star Vanessa Williams holds her one-year old Yorkshire terrier, Enzo, today in New York.
Williams, who was reunited with her dog when it went missing this June thanks to a microchip ID from Home Again, teamed up with the manufacturer to launch the Bring Pets Home campaign.
Correctly tagging our pets is soooooooooooo important! It can make a difference from hoping to find our pet to really getting them back home. Home Again even tags cats!
Thanks Kate for alerting us of this sighting!
A Photo of Vanessa Williams and Enzo

Finally! A picture of Vanessa Williams with her reunited yorkie, Enzo. He’s almost as gorgeous as she is
More info about the discovery of Enzo as of 7/6:
Vanessa Williams was so desperate to recover her beloved Yorkshire terrier after he was snatched outside her suburban New York home last month, she called on some spiritual help. The Ugly Betty star reveals she called on a psychic in an effort to find out if one-year-old Enzo was still alive.
She explains,
When you lose a pet, you stare at the empty bed, you stare at the bowl; it’s like a death. So I called a psychic and told her the situation and she gave me some clues. She definitely thought he was still alive, definitely thought he was taken.
The clues helped police locate the dog, who was turned over to an upstate New York area veterinarian eight days after he was taken.
Thanks to Emily for sending us the photo from AP!

Vanessa Williams has Modern Technology to Thank for Return of Enzo
Remember when we posted that actress Vanessa Williams reported her dog Enzo was missing and then was found again? Williams now reveals how little Enzo was found and more details about his whereabouts.
She says:
He was taken from my property on Memorial Day morning. At your vet you can get a microchip implanted (in your pet) called Home Again, which I did. It doesn’t hurt the dog at all. Then you just log on, and you enroll for this program, and you can find the dog. So if he’s brought into a shelter or another vet, they can scan him and that’s how they called. I got the call last Wednesday, and they said, ‘We have your dog.’ We found out the person that took him - I live in New York - handed him in Connecticut. So he had traveled away.
I actually have Home Again implanted in my dogs, Zeph and Zoe as well - good to know it really works!

Enzo Found! Vanessa Williams Must be Thrilled

Update:
The woman who found the year-old Yorkie had a friend bring it to a Stamford, Conn., animal hospital for a checkup. There, a veterinarian scanned Enzo, finding an embedded chip in him that identified his famous owner.
When Enzo was found Wednesday, there were no bite marks. The dog was just fine. And the chief said it didn’t appear there was anything suspicious behind the dog’s flight, which means Enzo - as crazy as this sounds - might have just run away.
Original Post:
The black-and-tan Yorkie that went missing from the fenced-in yard of actress Vanessa Williams on Memorial Day has been returned to a shelter, an employee of the celebrity confirmed this morning.
So far, police are saying nothing about finding Enzo, the 1-year-old Yorkshire terrier whose disappearance prompted speculation that someone might be dog-napping celebrity pets from northern Westchester.
On Mother’s Day, another celebrity pet - a blond dachshund named Gus - ran off the leash of former tabloid publisher Ken Chandler and has not been seen since.
Police said the petite pets were more likely to be victims of a coyote than a dognapper.
Both celebrities filed missing dog reports with police anyway.
By the way, that’s not a photo of Enzo but we imagine he might look something like this

Update on Vanessa’s Missing Dog
After Vanessa Williams filed a missing-dog report—yes, such things do exist—with the Mount Pleasant police and began floating her dognapping theory, which is possibly supported by the disappearance last month of another local well-bred pup.
Buffeting her theory, the 44-year-old also told police that she spotted a suspicious-looking man driving around her property earlier in the day.
The other missing dog, a blond dachshund named Gus that belonged to former New York Post publisher Ken Chandler, disappeared from the area on Mother’s Day and has yet to be recovered, despite posters offering a $2,500 reward and the hiring of a pet detective.
However, while a pet-pilferer could be on the loose in the neighborhood, Mount Pleasant Police Chief Louis Alagno had another, slightly less screenplay-ready theory as to what may have precipitated the dogs’ disappearances.
“That would be pure speculation,” he told the local Journal News of Williams’ crime ring theory, “but in our suburban community, unfortunately, the presence of coyotes is very common and on occasion we’ve had confirmed predation by coyotes of small pets.”
A happy ending could still be in store for Williams, though.
Back in 2004, in much simpler times, Paris Hilton’s erstwhile Chihuahua companion Tinkerbell went missing for nearly a week before being reunited with her patron. The reunion came after Hilton blanketed her neighborhood with offers of a $5,000 reward for the pup, though no explanation was ever given for the dog’s disappearance.
