Jeremy Renner has been reunited with his precious pooch!

The actor's dog Hemi—who went missing July 19—has been found. 

"Hemi is back home," the Avengers star's rep confirms to E! News. "He was found yesterday."

Additionally, Renner's rep tells E! News, "He was found in Visalia. Jeremy is so happy to have his dog back home"

The Bourne Legacy star's 1-year-old French Bulldog was found 189 miles from Los Angeles after he got out of  Renner's L.A. home near Runyon Canyon earlier this summer when a power failure occurred and the front gate slid open. Renner, per People, offered a $5,000 reward for the dog's safe return—no questions asked.

There was even a Facebook page created in an effort to find Hemi, who requires daily medication for a hip condition, and there is now a note on the page alerting followers that Hemi has been found while thanking fans for their support.

"Thank you so much to all of our wonderful fans and followers," the post reads. "Your tireless work, support, faith, and positive messages helped to bring Hemi home. Because of everyone here--and because of everyone YOU shared with--Hemi is safe and sound, and we are all totally elated. We could NOT have done this without you, and for that, you will have our gratitude forever. We are touched by the generosity and love you all have shown to a dog you don't even know.  Thank you for caring so much." 

The sweet message was signed, "Hemi and Family."

According to the Facebook page, Hemi's family received a call last night from a woman who said her son had found the missing dog. 

The page also states that Hemi is "in good general health," but is still at the vet getting a full exam. "He has gotten new collars and ID tags, and even a GPS unit for his collar!"

Happy to hear it! We're sure Jeremy and Hemi are in great spirits together.
