Have bumped Ozzy with a new set of photos(please refresh page to see) He is still missing- have bumped as a thank you for Elaine and Darren who spent many hours helping to look for the other Ozzy missing id 51848 (now reunited) from Castleford. Tracy said you were a great help and support and really appreciated it.
Please keep sharing this lovely lad- he could be anywhere in the country- but his markings are quite striking. x

Hi went for a walk round fryston woods as promised .i had not realised that you lost this chap a year ago ,but will keep my eyes open in case some one around here walks by my bungalow with him ,i would reconise him as gpood pictures, did not see any thing though only 1 couple and a dog fawn colour ,some one may have him but don,t give up hope. as i live across the road from these woods i see a lot of dogs being walked ,so i will keep an eye out for you.

Hi i live in ferry fryston and until last july used to walk my shelties in these woods but changed my walking area when this man and woman started going in the woods with two rottweilers the bitch seemed ok but the dog!!!!! when they passed me in the car it was going crazy and when they got out of the car well it was really going mental and this guy is not little and it was pulling him over so i have never been in there since but from tomorrow i will go and look for you [without my dogs] when i come home from work and hopefully may see him don't give up.Have you got any posters up in ferry fryston and airedale area cos i have not seen any? i will ring you if i get lucky.

2012-03-12 15:29 BBKM

When cross checking found springers on various websites, I always keep a lookout for Ozzy.

2012-03-11 11:00 darren

still no sightings of are Ozzy anywhere
Strange how a dog can vanish and there be no sightings within miles of the area last seen.
Its horrible how some people just thing they can come and take a familly member without feeling anything.
some evil people in the world that need putting down not are lovely animals

2011-08-04 20:31 DogLostReynard

Come on Ozzy boy time to go home to Dad!
Has a trap been set in these woods for Ozzy yet in case he is still there,it will need to be monitered though?

2011-06-13 14:14 scootjockey

Another goreous springer missing mark and i know just how your feeling our Tay(welsh springer)was stolen from my garden but actually lives on the east coast with his daddie my boyfriend mark.I spend all my time walking our new puppy and postering weve had many callers with info of springers which they had found and hoped it was Tay unfortunately non have been Tay,to be honest weve possibly had just 3 sighting in 14 wks.We try keeping the faith too untill we have him back we`ll keep on keeping on no matter how rough it gets, i just wanted to give you some encouragement, your not alone on this site ,stay positive,best wishes G xx

2011-06-11 19:52 BBKM

Sorry to hear Ozzy is still missing but never give up hope, sometimes it simply takes longer
It's Selby Game Fair this weekend, have you thought about handing out mini leaflets there? There's 100's of dogs at this event and 1000's of dog owners, many springer owners. If you want a hand I'd be happy to meet you down there and do a day with you

2011-04-17 10:57 Goldenfrodo

we where out last night looking around ponty area. Facebook post form Tuesday :
got back from postering in pontefract and checking old ones are still up, we got a phone call off a lady while we where out regarding poster we had just left at petrol station, she said that she may have seen ozzy two days ago near swanhill lane in pontefract. had a collar on but thought the dog was with some people walking down same road. so we have been back round and postered area till we run out of tape again and me ending up with one sock, I have left it tied to some railing on a wall just out of the way in the area he was seen just incase he comes back he might stay close fingers crossed.

So sorry to hear Ozzy is missing. We're a tad further over at Howden so will poster at the weekend and work backwards towards you. Don't lose hope, we had a lemon cocker missing from Snaith who was reunited after a couple of months, keep positive, the more posters the better

2011-01-14 08:14 Yettontop

Re farmer. Had someone like that when I was postering for a different dog in another area. We postered the end of the drive, facing in and outwards, so that the owner HAD to see the message we were trying to get across. Also put a leaflet through the door. Later we went back and got a slightly less antagonistic welcome.

2011-01-14 07:22 DogLostJytte - Area Volunteer - West Yorkshire

Darren, have you been to Ponderosa at Allerton Bywater ? -

http://www.ponderosa.org.uk/ worth a visit, if only to leave lots of posters for them - Jytte

2011-01-14 00:01 Jumanji - Co-ordinator.South.Yorkshire

Darren I have just seen your post about the farmer ! Please do go down and see him, show him your poster and ask him if he has seen Ozzy at allover the last week . Also explain he is a much loved pet with a a family who are missing him and ask if he will take your number and phone you if he see Ozzy at anytime.

2011-01-13 23:58 digbysmum

Sounds a nice farmer. So sorry Ozzy is still missing - hope he is safe and well and comes home soon xx

2011-01-13 23:56 Jumanji - Co-ordinator.South.Yorkshire

Darren so sorry the dog sighted at Knottingley was'nt Ozzy. I know its disheartening to get false alarms but its good that the lad rememered seeing Ozzy's poster and show people are taking notice of them. You are doing all the right things but please do keep up with the postering and checking with stray kennels. When I spoke to you we discussed stray kennels and with the fact that Springfield is now closed dogs from your area may be being sent to several other kennels. I know you are aware of Mount Pleasant and Cliffe Kennels but have you also checked with Fleet Kennels and Alfies kennels both at Bradford ? They may take dogs from this area and I believe Alfies kennels are still being used as an out of hours service. Have you also checked with all vets in the area ? If not already done may I suggest you also put Ozzy on the National Pet Register and there is also a South Yorkshire Lost and Found website ( they will put dogs on from any area of Yorkshire). I have added you to my facebook. Have you thought of making Ozzy his own facebook page or group ? If you do this pick a title that explains what the group is about ........... such as 'OZZY Missing in West Yorkshire' and ask everyone who joins to invite their friends. Its another good way of spreading the word ! Also have you thought of approaching the local media to see if they will run a story on Ozzy ? Hopefully your posters will be seen by someone who know where Ozzy is !

2011-01-13 23:49 darren

Thank you Reynard we have just got back in after putting some more posters up, in a way i hope someone has taken him in so at least he is warm and been fed. but we still need to know that he is ok and need him back to make are family whole again.
only place i have not been is to see the farmer down near the woods, when my wife and cousin walked down he was a bit off hand with them and told then to get of his land and said there are no dogs so go away.
so might have to call on him on saturday morning.
thank you all

2011-01-13 23:33 DogLostReynard

So sorry Ozzy is missing but do make sure you Poster well so anyone can see he is missing & if taken in and not reported will make it difficult to keep him with contacting the Dog Warden. I have cross posted to Its a Springthing & NESSR Spaniel forums. Good Luck!

2011-01-13 21:43 darren

had a text from a lad in Knottingley on the warwick estate saying he had seen ozzy, spent 4 hours last night driving round and again this morning and found a stray black and white spaniel cross (NOT OZZY) reported to warden.
I just find it strange that a dog can go missing in an area and there has not even been one sighting of him anywhere in a week , unless someone has got him in there house. (thats not good).
we have covered nearly 500 mile driving round in the car and god knows how many mile walking, we have placed more than 400 posters through doors and on lamp posts.
i have been to all kennels and left leaflets, we have been in touch with all wardens.
We just want him back,the house dose not feel the same without him. you can add me on facebook darren wiltshire. and once again a big thak you to everyone for the continued help

Saw a poster today- only because I walked in through gates & didnt drive in. I walk Ponte Park most days. Need to visit ALL kennels though and check with dogs wardens at the minute its a bit up in the air as to where he would go- if picked up .
Will post onto Facebook page as well as i live at Hemsworth. Hope with enough posters OZZY will turn up

Thank you Everyone for help so far,
Hi Jytte i have been round Fairburn, bird feeding area and the the main dog walk over the water towards the raiway bridge that links fairburn and fryston village, have postered all areas.
with all the searching we have done since he has gone, i strongly belive that someone has got him and not sure what to do with him or have him with the intention to keep him, as he looks like a pure bread English springer they may feel he is worth money.
But our Ozzy is pricless he is unique and he is not just our dog he is a family member that we love to bits.

Darren, Ozzy could possibly go towards Fairburn Ings, worth postering there also. Jytte, Pontefract

2011-01-10 14:22 Jumanji - Co-ordinator.South.Yorkshire

There have been no sightings of Ozzy since he dissapeared on a walk despite his owners and many friends searching for him. His owner is aware that Springfield Kennels have closed and has the contact numbers for Mount Pleasant and Cliffe kennels. Some postering has already been done and they will continue to poster to raise as much public awareness as possible.Hoping that Ozzy is back home very soon ~ Pam

• If your dog is microchipped please let the microchip company know that your dog is missing and check that all details are up to date.
• Owners targeted by a malicious hoaxer demanding money for the return of their dog should phone the police on 101 immediately and contact admin@doglost.co.uk
