Initially, the animal shelter had offered a reward for the safe return of the dogs; however, not long after, the dogs were found dead and their owner, Terry Michel, who eventually confessed to shooting and killing the dogs, was arrested in connection with their deaths.
The animal shelter says it rewarded the individual who came forward with information that helped with the arrest of Michel.
The remainder of the funds will be used to create a memorial fund in honor of Colby and Caleb, which will be used to support victims of domestic violence.
