American Akita puppy Rosco escaped from his garden in West Bromwich and two weeks later was advertised on Gumtree.
His owners arranged to view the dog but the police turned up instead and arrested a 28-year-old man on suspicion of theft, said West Midlands Police.
Rosco's microchip confirmed his identity and he was reunited with the family of Zoe Picken, 10.
The man who had the dog admitted theft by finding and has agreed to take part in a community resolution that will see him apologise to the family, said the force.
