Safie is home - she was found about a week after she went missing, owner thought she had notified DL. Two women had taken her in and contacted owner once they saw the posters mentioning the reward. Safie did have a collar with id and full contact details on but apparently finders had thrown it away and thats why they didn't contact owner when first found. Hmmmmmn?!! Welcome home Safie. Thanks Amberpaws for your help with the Essex dogs and contacting Safie's owner for an update :-)

Douglas Road is very near to where I lost my Sky (though thankfully recovered). I did some pretty extensive enquiries around this road and Coppins Road only recently and the only found dog I heard mention of was another Staffie like mine.
It is worth however getting a poster up in the convience store on Coppins Road, opposite Thomas Road. The owner of this shop has been there for over 20 years and knows so many people in the area you just can't afford not to! Also you want to get a poster in either the Post Office or better still the Fish and Chip shop in Bockings Elm as well as Magdalen Green Post Office.
You also want to get posters up along and around the playing fields at the back of Colbayns and going onto the Peterbruff Estate. There are lots of dog walkers down there and they do talk to each other!
There is a good possibility that your dog might have ended up in or around the Langham Drive estate. You need to get the area postered near and around Pudney Woods on both the Flatford Drive and St Johns Road sides. You also need to drive around this estate and keep your eyes open for people walking dogs, it might well be yours! Also try the parade of shops on Bluehouse Avenue as well as the Community Centre. Putting posters on lamp posts on this estate was a disaster for me so you really need to cover more possibilites.
If you have any pictures or posters I will gladly put some up on Ruaton Drive near the small field in the middle.
Good luck in your search!

Poor little safie I hope she's home very soon.  Is owner sending picture so posters can be printed and put up a.s.a.p?  I used to live in Clacton but afraid I'm not too near anymore.  Keep safe safie. x

      Firstly inform the Dog warden who you will be able to contact at your council offices. Posters (In plastic folders) need to be put up in the area where your dog went missing, or where there have been sightings - on lamposts, entrances to parks and strategic places in parks,  like at the start and finish of tracks and paths, dog bins, at vets, petshops, pubs, carry-out food shops, post offices,  local shops who often allow postcards in the window, supermarkets who have notice boards, community centres, youth clubs, schools etc. You can ask the postman, milkman, taxi drivers,  street cleaners,  binmen (even put poster on bins), to take some flyers and hand them out on their rounds. You can ask school bus drivers and kids on the bus, or if you have kids on the bus, get them to hand out flyers at school.  Deliver flyers to houses, businesses & pop through letterboxes . Hand out flyers to people in the street, especially dog walkers. Put posters or flyers  in  car windows. Rescue centres and kennels, also police offices need checking regularly and preferably visited in person, by owner or someone who knows the dog, because your dog or it's breed may not be recognised by other people. Also police are sometimes too busy to deal with it. Get some media coverage if you can, by asking the local radio station to broadcast her as missing and put an ad in the local newspaper with a picture of her. In the case where she may have been stolen, make her too hot for thieves to handle.
