Update in the newspaper:

Vixen was finally rescued by a member of the public who was approached by two men trying to sell her, Mrs Wiles said.

"He then arranged to meet to look at the dog and as soon as he saw Vixen, he said something to them about it being her.

"At that point, the pair ran off and the man grabbed Vixen's lead and just got hold of her."

Mrs Wiles said when they got the call to say Vixen had been found, the drive to pick her up "was the longest eight minutes of our life".

"When we got there, James was the first to see her because he can run faster them me. She just ran over to him and jumped into his arms," she added.
"We are absolutely over the moon. We had begin to think we would never see her again, so to have her back, our family is complete again."

On FB Jixenwell Gundogs:
I would just like to thank each and every person who has been helping to find Vixen so far. James Wiles and I are so grateful to you all.
But we need Vixen home. She is missed by not only us but our other dogs and everyone who knows her as well as each and every person looking for her now.
Devastation and despair are the only emotions that can explain our feelings at the moment. Vixen is James’s little girl. Have you ever seen a broken man? Come see James and you will see what it looks like. I need my vixen back and I need my man back because this is killing him. Bring Vixen HomeLast edited: 2024-02-02 22:51:06 by VetsGetScanning

For those who have no access to social media I read an article this morning which I am sorry I cannot remember it all but the van was followed by a white saloon and the number plates were swapped. There is an indication they might be moving and selling on dogs from the van so all vans need observing really. I hope Vixen is safe and not trapped in the van although if they are moving other animals it's more likely she has been noticed by now. Praying she's safe and recovered soon xxx

Shared. I really hope Vixen is found soon and if she is still trapped in the van that she is released even if she is just abandoned as she will then have more chance. Sending prayers and love xxx

We believe vixen could have been missed when the dogs were let out of the van because of where her crate was, and may still be in the van!!
The van may have been dumped anywhere but possibly in the Morley/ Bramley, Leeds area ….
There is a reward for the return of, or any information that leads us to Vixen or the van
The van reg is ND08 RGY (this could have changed now) pictures below ..
There are two beacons on the van and the rear one is smashed - there is also a team spanner sticker on the back door, and a silver air vent on left hand side rear door -
This van could be parked anywhere… it could be on your street, in a field, on a track literally anywhere!
Please watch for a white van like the one below -
Also they may have, at some point realised that Vixen was still in there and released anywhere …
Please call 07827 781965 or 07794738753 with any information at all no matter how small you think that may be πŸ™πŸ™πŸ™
