A pet owner has reportedly learned that her dog who was believed to have been euthanized in Maryland is alive and up for adoption.

Kristie Pereira adopted her dog, Beau, in December 2022 and sadly had to "put him down" due to medical complications, Fox 5 DC reported.

Pereira told the station that she recently spotted Beau on the Facebook page of the group she had adopted him from.

Now, she says she wants the dog back.

"I don’t think that someone that just wanted to get rid of the dog would feel anywhere close to how I’m feeling about this and how I have felt about it…none of it was easy," Pereira told Fox 5.

Beau started acting differently about two months after he was adopted, Pereira said.

She said that after she consulted with veterinarians, it was concluded Beau may have a neurological condition, citing major health problems.

Pereira said the vets told her that Beau’s quality of life might not improve, and she should consider putting the dog down.

Pereira ultimately made the decision to take Beau to Montgomery County Animal Services to be euthanized, according to Fox 5.

Fox 5 obtained a copy of the form that pet owners fill out when they bring a dog in for euthanasia in Montgomery County.

"There’s a box in bold on the form that says the pet owner is requesting humane euthanasia, but it also states that if Montgomery County Animal Services acknowledges the pet is treatable and adoptable, they can treat and have the pet adopted," Fox 5 reported.

Officials with Montgomery County Animal Services said the latter was selected in this situation.

After Montgomery County Animal Services conducted its own evaluation, it was found that Beau had a liver issue, and it was decided euthanasia wasn't appropriate.

The organization then decided to return the dog to the original place where Pereira adopted him from, Fox 5 reported.

Pereira said she thought she had put her dog down and never received a call from animal services or the adoption organization.

The adoption organization told Fox 5 that they told Pereira when she was making the decision to euthanize Beau, she had the option to return the dog to them, "particularly if she was going to put him down in an environment where she wouldn’t be near the dog during that process," the station reported.

Montgomery County Animal Services' policy says that it does not allow pet owners to be present with their dogs during euthanasia, according to the organization's website.

Fox 5 reported that while the adoption organization understands Pereira's situation, it's against its policy to return surrendered dogs to their former owners, and "indicated they’re sticking with that policy in this situation."

Mirra Andreeva made history on Wednesday when she defeated top-ranked tennis pro Aryna Sabalenka in the quarterfinals at the French Open to become the youngest Grand Slam semifinalist in nearly 30 years.

Andreeva, a 17-year-old unseeded player from Russia, won the match 6-7 (5), 6-4, 6-4, and she did so by going off script. 

"I always play the way I want to play. We have a plan with my coach for the match, but after, I forget everything, and when I play a match, I don’t have any thoughts in my head," she said after the match.

"So maybe I would say that my strength could be that I just play how I want to play and I do whatever I want to do."

Her unapologetic approach to the game has paid off. Andreeva, who only turned 17 in April, is now the youngest player to reach the semifinals at any Grand Slam since Martina Hingis did so in 1997 at age 16. 

That year, Hingis won the Australian Open, Wimbledon, and the U.S. Open and was a finalist at the French Open.

Andreeva is playing only in her sixth major tournament. She will next face Italy’s Jasmine Paolini, a 28-year-old who also reached her first major semifinal.

But at heart, Andreeva is much like any other teenager. 

"I would say that I am almost like a normal teenager, because I still have to do my school that I don’t like to do. I watch a lot of TV series in my spare time. I watch Netflix. I sometimes spend too much time on my Instagram," she said. "But maybe what makes me a little different is that, I don’t know if I can say that I’m mature, but I feel myself a mature person, and I feel that I know what I’m doing."

Andreeva and Paolini will face off on Thursday morning. Earlier in the day, the women’s world No. 1 Iga Swiatek will face off against Coco Gauff.
