In less than 24 hours since their story went viral online, abandoned dogs Bear and Tiger鈥檚 original owners have been tracked down and the mystery of how they ended up on Minstrel Island has been solved.

Tri-Port Wildlife Response team member Jill Laviolette confirmed the group received an anonymous tip yesterday which led them to the person who owned the dogs鈥� mother, and then from there they were able to quickly track down who the pups were adopted to and then rehomed to.

鈥淭he dogs were brought to an island near Minstrel Island, further up the channel, and then they made their way over time to Minstrel,鈥� she said.

Laviolette noted they won鈥檛 be sharing the owners鈥� names publically, and the dogs have now been surrendered to the Tri-Port Wildlife Response Team to begin the adoption process.

鈥淲hen they are healthy and ready for their forever home, we will be accepting applications to adopt these two together, as they are bonded.鈥�

Donations can be sent to phwildliferescue@gmail.com. All the proceeds will go to feeding, caring or medical treatments for Bear and Tiger.
