thanks indeed to the police - who have the powers - but its thanks to doglost for having such a brilliant relationship with the police who were willing to listen to doglost which enables them to know what to look for when stolen/missing dogs are involved. brilliant teamwork with yet another happy ending

collieowner please read the news section on doglost and write to your MP and tell him how you feel! I think it would be good for MP's to hear how it is

Kent police are stars yet again. Welcome home Isla

2017-02-18 20:45 collieowner

Thieving gits!!! I k ow what I'd like to see done to them but I can't write it in here. Thank god she's home.

I very much agree with the suggestions by stoppettheft and janiejewel1649. I live in France and they found the biggest animal trafficking ring near Montpellier run by travellers. A woman lost her two boxers the gendarmes didn't do anything so she very bravely went in on her own (and at the same time the local police arrived) and found them in bad condition but she found them and got them out. I think they made full recoveries. People shouldn't be allowed to get away with such things.

If you look below at Jayne - Administrator, Head Office post you will see the link for the article about Isla

2017-02-18 14:43 Unknown

She did indeed have her microchip dug out. It mus have been agony for her. She was found at a travellers site too. I hope someone will be called to account for this vile act of cruelty. As well as being charged with theft, they should be charged with animnal abuse. The punshment should fit the crime. She is gorgeous isn`t she? Very photogenic. Sending my best wishes to he owners.

2017-02-18 13:40 NickyB

I AM SURE I READ THIS DOG HAD HAD HER MICROCHIP DUG OUT....................... THIS IS HORRIFYING AS NOT ONLY MUST SHE HAVE SUFFERED TERRIBLY I NEVER REALISED IT WOULD EVER HAPPEN. THE PAPER SAID SHE WAS SEIZED FROM A TRAVELLERS SITE

The Daily Mail were supposed to be running a bit on Isla over the weekend. I had a quick peep at a copy in the Co-op but couldn't see anything !

2017-02-07 22:32 madmudmob

It's not right to put blame because a dog is kept in a kennel.
Homes get broken into to steal these dogs too and many kennels are luxurious and more secure than most houses. It plain and simply is that not all dogs like to be indoors especially in a busy house.

Have emailed my MP Nick Gibb...lets see what happens

2017-02-03 10:15 DogLostJayne - Founder Doglost.

Well said CJ.....all of you email your MP's please! and ask if they will be attending...and send us those that except so we can chase them up....

2017-02-03 08:35 DogLostCJ - Police Liaison & SE Regional Coordinator

Whilst it is brilliant news and Kent Police are great acting on seizing dogs- we have to remember that finding a dog does not prove in court they took a dog. They could state a dog was bought from another person - and they had no knowledge of anyone removing a chip even though in reality it was more than likely them.
To take this to court the police need to produce evidence and proof - if not the CPS just say no!! This is what all Police have to contend with and are as frustrated as we are.
If the chipping law had been thought through properly - make a microchip PROVE ownership - and in a similar way to a car with the DVLA if you sell on or pass on then a form MUST be signed by the seller-
Dog theft is a terrible crime and we need to goverment to impose tougher sentences.
HELP THIS HAPPEN-

On 14 March DogLost and the Stolen and Missing Pets Alliance will be in Parliament meeting MPs for Dog Theft Awareness Day. We’ll be telling MPs why their support is vital in tackling the growing crime of dog theft. We need as many MPs to attend as possible, can you help us by asking your MP to join us on the day?

2017-02-03 00:26 #stoppettheft

Such a dramatic change in 14 days :(
******s to cause Her Such pain in removing Her 'chip & causing Her Family so much pain by Stealing

I wish ALL Police Forces would raid ALL traveller Sites & check the Dogs for 'chips /unusual activity &/or take photos of them & check against Missing Dogs Database

Sooo Glad Isla is Safe & that She soon recovers from her ordeal .(& Her Owners too )
Now we just need Coco, Poppy, Pup, Fern & soo many others to be Found

2017-02-02 21:52 IlovemyboyBarclay

Wonderful news. Am so happy for this beautiful girls owners. Well done to Kent police, and all involved. As for the theif cutting the microcchip out of Isla, this must have been very painful for her
Asx well as theft this surely is animal abuse. I abgree with your comments Reynard. I would think twice about leaving her in a kennel in the garden now. Secure or not these thieves will find a way. Welcomne home Isla. I am certin you are getting lost of tlc from you family. Sendoing gentle ((((((HUGS))))) to Isla xxx Stay safe n ow Isla

Well done CJ and Kent Police. How painful was that taking the chip out? Awful.

2017-02-02 16:44 Skywalker99

Agreed...sounds like a very organised operation too if they are removing chips. You would only guess this might be Isla from the eyes. I bet she is happy to be home! Hopoe she will be kept inside form now on.

How on earth do they cut the chip out when it's as small as a grain of rice :-( This is so worrying for the many missing dogs out there who are microchipped, how many have been found and missed being reunited due to the same reason

2017-02-02 16:17 JulieH

Well done Kent Police! Welcome home Isla ,hope your lovely coat soon grows back x

2017-02-02 16:05 ClaireC

Brilliant work by Kent Police and CJ. Welcome back to your rightful home. Xx

2017-02-02 15:03 Kit'sMum

Yes, this is an amazing story, but it's very worrying that the chip had been cut out, I suppose thieves think no-one will notice the incision as the hair grows back? I hope many people see this post and the importance of having new dogs thoroughly checked all over. Hats off to everyone involved with getting Isla back to her family.

2017-02-02 13:57 DogLostSandra Watt

OMG what an amazing story and thanks to Kent Police and CJ. It's just awful that these thieves removed the microchip and changed Isla's appearance. So happy that Isla is back with her family.

2017-02-02 13:53 Jen

So delighted that Isla is back home and thank each and everyone of you for all your help and support. We really thought we might never see her again and as her chip had been removed this may well have been the case. Thank goodness for her funny leg!

2017-02-02 13:53 DogLostCJ - Police Liaison & SE Regional Coordinator

Yes poor Isla was shaved and a small cut was seen on her neck glue back with superglue- as no chip was fond presume it was removed.Awaiting a photo taken by Kent police but 2nd photo shows the first one sent to me for ID purposes.

2017-02-02 13:41 Unknown

I just read online the chip had been cut out. Shocking, what is the world coming too. Well done again CJ

2017-02-02 13:38 DogLostJayne - Founder Doglost.

well done kent police and CJ for making it now normal practise when they are out on another matter to check our stolen dog list against dogs they see...this was done this morning as police convinced it was Isla as she ran funnily as in owners description. They scanned for a chip but none found...and despite she had been shorn so much as unrecognisable they contacted us...we had to wait for owner to visit before we could switch to reunited. Sadly the chip had been cut out...so without the chip it was highly unlikely she would have returned home..thank god for kent police and Police co-ordinators!!!!

2017-02-02 13:06 Unknown

Fantastic news. Well done Kent Police .Welcome home Sweetheart xxx

2017-02-02 13:02 Esther

Kent police are stars, and not for the first time, they seem to take dog theft seriously down there. Many thanks to them. Welcome home Isla

2017-02-02 12:53 Doglover

Fantastic news and a big well done to Kent Police....Stay safe now Isla xxx

2017-02-02 12:38 Crazy Thanet dog lady

So pleased Isla been found. Perhaps she'll be safer kept in the home and not the garden

2017-02-02 12:19 Simbarose

absolutely delighted for you and found in my postcode area. Had been keeping a look out for her whilst looking for my girl Jazz id 99179.

2017-02-02 12:03 DogLostCJ - Police Liaison & SE Regional Coordinator

Great news as had an early call from Kent Police - after a warrant was executed they seized a dog they felt was ISLA.
Owners contacted and came to view her and confirmed it was her. She had a close hair cut maybe to disguise her.
Needs a trip to vets as the microchip did not show up.

Hi CJ just wondered do Kent Police cross reference the CRN on the CAD these days?

2017-01-22 09:36 DogLostCJ - Police Liaison & SE Regional Coordinator

Checking details as the number is a CAD not yet a CRN. Will check with police. Kent police CRN start with letters

2017-01-21 23:00 AlisonH

Crime number received and sent on to our police coordinator.

Thank you Cathy

Hi, I saw a red/brown cocker spaniel on the tube yesterday 20th Feb. Was on the Central line to Loughton, approx 10.45 between Stratford and Loughton. The dog was with large man wearing shorts. The dog was barking and the man had difficulties quietening it. He got offf train and sat with the dog waiting for another train, I'm unsure which station it was, but prob was Snaresbrook, South Woodford or Woodford. I watched them as it made me feel uneasy, I don't know if this is any help, or if it can be checked out

Hi Jen, if you haven't already done so, best to email the CRN to admin@doglost.co.uk so they can upgrade the status to stolen.
Until Admin get a chance to look at it, you could change the name to ISLA Stolen.

Yes we have a crime number from the Police. Also contacting the Police who found the stolen cockers in Wateringbury which is near to where she was taken. Have logged it with the dog wardens too. It has gone out on FB and subsequently on various gundog sites. Contacted local vets and will contact the local rescue homes in case she is taken there. Thank you everyone for all your shares and help. Much appreciated x
