Boulder police arrested three people Friday night for allegedly taking Ferris the puppy from the Humane Society of Boulder Valley, authorities say.
Serina Emily Ojala, 18, a transient who has been staying in the Lafayette area; Daniel Michael Kitlitz, 21, also a transient; and Matthew Louis Dailey, 22, of Longmont are being held in the Boulder County Jail on $500 bonds.
Ferris was 2 months old when he was taken on Aug. 12, said Sarah Huntley, Boulder police spokeswoman.
Ferris was adopted Friday afternoon by Debbie Shoemaker, who brought the puppy to the shelter Thursday after seeing news reports about the theft and wondering if she had been given the missing pet.
Ferris was originally identified as a dachshund, but trainers now suspect he may be a coonhound. Kirk Mitchell, The Denver Post
