Scruffy, who is new to his family, was seen running down the embankment toward Round Hill Road in Fairfield on Saturday.
The family received a tip that Scruffy had been spotted Saturday night near the Moss Wood Condo Complex and came across his tracks in the snow.
A few hours later, the family received a call from Animal Control that Scruffy had been found by a young girl at Roger Ludlowe Middle School, where they had just finished searching.
Scruffy went home his new family on Sunday.
