The last two options don't contain the same amount of information.  You don't know how many pets ran away or how many were caught again.  So you can eliminate those two options right away.

So, you are choosing between the first 2.  The first option is wordy.  You can see that they repeat the word "them" twice in the last sentence, which is unnecessary.

The 2nd option manages to convey the same amount of information as the original sentence,  but in one sentence and without unnecessary repetition of words.
