Thanks Jotty, just we didnt have an exact found location for a dog that came in as a salt and pepper dachshund type, just handed into a vets in Broxbourne! Worth a shot though!  - Glad he's home anyway!!

How bizzare! Did she not think to tell the neighbours what she had done?

Broxbourne is a fair distance away from Broomfield Unicandy, About an hours drive.

Basil is home! Welcome home boy. Bit of a story though.....Basil escaped from the back garden of his owners dads house in to next door. Then he got out of their garden and went round to the front of the houses. A lady picked him up there and knocked on the house he was near to see if they knew where he lived and she was directed to Basil's house or his neighbours (with me still?!). No-one in at either of those addresses at the time. Owners then discovered Basil was missing, found out about the lady picking him up etc but had heard nothing from her, no note etc. Then on Monday afternoon (he went missing Saturday morning) they found him locked in their shed! So, can only presume the lady put him in there but she did not leave a note or call back to tell owners so thank god they found him (he doesn't bark so would never have been heard). Stay safe Basil. No more escaping! (The hole in the fence has been mended!!)

Just out of interest, is Broxbourne anywhere near where he went missing from?!

So sorry to see Basil missing ? little poppet.Make him too hot to handle if you think he is stolen. Get posters out there as quickly as you can and get his profile out there so thieves find it difficult to keep him or sell him on. Firstly inform the Dog warden (if this has not already been done), who you will be able to contact at your council offices. They will tell you where stray dogs are taken to. Contact the rescue kennels and give them a poster of Basil.  Posters can be downloaded if you click on POSTER 1 on this page. Posters (In plastic folders) need to be put up in the area where he went missing, or where there have been sightings, if any - on lamp posts, entrances to parks and strategic places in the area where she went missing,  like at the start and finish of tracks and paths in parks, dog bins, at vets, pet shops, garages, 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, bin men (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. Local rescue centres and kennels, also police offices need checking regularly and preferably visited in person, by owner or someone who knows Basil because your dog or it's breed may not be recognised by other people. Get some media coverage if you can, by asking the local radio station to broadcast Basil as missing and put an ad in the local newspaper with a picture of him. It is important to get posters out there and seen by as many people as possible.Good luck. Hope he is home with you very soon.
