Thanks Northerner11 - have spoken to Rufus's owner and she's really pleased as this is the first even similar sighting to a dog like Rufus. Many thanks for your help x

!!!!SIMILAR DOG SIGHTED!!!!
At around 4.00pm today I sighted a dog which I recognised immediatly because it looked so similar to Rufus. It darted across Alton Street in Crewe into Albion street. I am not sure if it was Rufus, but I will keep an eye out for further sightings. It might be worth you taking a look, Diane. I hope it was Rufus.

Hi Diana and Bill, my name is Jaime. im Marnies mum. i the same as you did not realise that so many pets get stolen in this way. i think i was living in my own little bubble. which was a good bubble untill my Marnie was taken opened my eyes up to the REAL world. I PROMISE that i will spread the word through the traveling community for you as i have done with my own baby. i was so shocked to recieve a phone call off of you. but i will do all i can to help u. my heart goes out to you. we will get r babys back. it is strange that the car used in both incidents was a blue merc. there could be a gang of them doing this. using the same car. u never know. fingers crossed he is home soon xxxxxsending you both all my love. big hugs and kisses,

Diana and Bill sorry that you have had no luck in getting Rufus back. As a suggestion what aboyt getting a megaphone and standing in a busy place and let everyone know what has happened so far. Hand out missing posters at the same time. Children are or will be on holiday soon they could be a good source of information.

2011-07-21 11:32 Diana

Thanks to all the people who have helped look for Rufus and who have been so kind to contact us. We are still looking!
The more we look and the more we enquire the more we find out about dogs being stolen. Please look after your dear companions.
Diana and Bill

I cannot imagine any dog owner working any harder than this lovely couple to get their dog back. I live in Alsager, not too far away but I see posters of him everywhere. Wishing you the best of luck!!! My fingers will stay tightly crossed for you.

The found dog mentioned by Elaine has been collected by his owners.. apparently they were from Northwich.. i rang the kennels that afternoon in case the found dog was a DL dog and was told by the kennel staff that his owners were on the way to collect him.

http://www.cheshirewestandchester.gov.uk/environment/animal_welfare/stray_and_abandoned_dogs/stray_dog_photographs.aspx ...... There is a Border Terrier on the Cheshire West & Chester website which was found in Northwich area picked up on 29th Sept it is not Rufus. The Council DW Section did forward details of Rufus onto me as owner has sent them details, I've informed them Rufus is registered on DL (thank you for the alert). After having discussions throughout the week the Council are now including whether the found dogs on their site are male or female which will help in matching dogs. Fingers crossed little Rufus is found soon. Jan x

Spoke to Diana this morning. Sadly Rufus is still missing. Owners are doing everything possible to find him - postering,putting leaflets through doors contacting all the right authorities etc. There has been no sign of him though. Bumped because adverts have been put in local papers. Please help look for this little boy as he needs a special diet and will become ill if he doesnt have his medication.

2010-10-01 11:46 Hector_Bad

Did you have any luck from last nights Sentinel newspaper? My blue and tan border is still missing from Lightwood, Stoke. I will let you know if anyone contacts me as i still have posters up around my area and people could confuse the 2 dogs.

2010-09-30 16:00 Goldenfrodo

This is a duplicate of ID 25335. I spoke to owners earlier today.
