Just wanted to warn that in our local paper it was reported that 30 dogs have gone missing in the Southampton and New Forest area this month alone, it was also reported on the local radio.

The Dogmother Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 Oh good grief, not more they'll either be stolen to work if they are lurchers, or to be used for bribery (get money form the owners) or as bait dogs. Please be very careful when out and about with your dogs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lillybettybabs Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 Gosh that's a lot of dogs We have just bought some camera's to put up around the kennels and have taught the dogs to bark if someone approaches the house. Best advice is to never let your dog go out of sight when your are out walking them as some dogs are stolen to order and could have been watched for a while.

The Dogmother Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 Good for you! The latest heartbreaking story is of 2 lurchers thrown from a moving van on the A43 near Brougthon in Northants, they were trussed together with rope and badly injured. Lurcher folk in the area are scouring the woods and fields night and day but haven't yet found them, they will be terrified, cold and hungry. This is how my rescue dog Cyrus was dumped Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lillybettybabs Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 I heard about that, Gun dog folk in the area have been passing the info around to try and help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 Glad to hear it. They've been out too long on cold nights, I doubt that they are still alive unless they've managed to find shelter. 'someone' has been taking down the posters that the searchers have been putting up The van has been traced but it was sold by the builders who it was registered to and no new owner has reg'd it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
