One of the members on Rugby Pawprints has posted :

Vince Mannion
I saw a dog who looked like chippy this morning (10am) at the park on sandy lane radford in Coventry. I wouldn't interrogate the 2 men who were with the dog on my own and to be honest I wasn't close enough to see whether it was male/female.... It probably isn't even him but I did pull the car over and look again. I seem to think they said there was a possible sighting in radford before. Sorry to be such a wimp not to even challenge them. :(

Vince Mannion is actually Amanda - the owner of missing Gabby from same area.

Oh and noticed Chippy was on teletext last night.

The poor lad!! His photo needs to be splashed all over the local papers with mention of his blood disorder. The cctv photos need to be published as well, someone will know who he is.

He has a FACEBOOK PAGE 'Dog Stolen from RSPCA Centre'


Urgent Appeal for Information

The RSPCA Coventry, Nuneaton & District Branch are urgently appealing for information after one of the animal centres much loved dogs was stolen today (Monday 22nd August) by a man in his early twenties posing as a potential adopter.

The animal centre staff followed the normal rehoming procedures asking the relevant rehoming questions, taking details and holding something of value including house keys and a bike before the man was able to take Chippy for a walk. All the information and items proved to be false as he never returned for them.

The man left the centre on Coundon Wedge Drive with Chippy around 11.30am into the field towards Brownshill Green.

Chippy is a mastiff X around 18months he is very recognisable and we are hoping that someone may see him and contact us or the police. Chippy has really been through it in his life so far after being seized by the RSPCA with a horrendous injury to his neck caused by an ill fitted collar. He also has a life threatening blood disorder, which if he injured himself could prove to be fatal.

Glenn Mayoll Animal Centre Manager says ‘We are all gob smacked by what has happened, the man in question was convincing as a legitimate adopter and even discussed bringing his other dog to meet the Chippy at the centre’

'The animal centre staff have clubbed together to offer a small reward to anyone who can give information leading to the safe return of Chippy'

‘All we want is to have Chippy back in our care so we can find him a loving home where we know he will be ok. We are really worried due the type of dog he is that he may well fall into the wrong hands which would be devastating for all of us. We are appealing for anyone who may have any information to get in touch’

‘All the centre staff have clubbed together to form a small cash reward to anyone who gives us the information leading to the safe return of Chippy’

The man is described as being in his early twenties with brown hair, blue eyes and pockmarked face around 5ft7’’ in height, he also has tattoos on his hands and neck. He was wearing a grey tracksuit with a dark blue/grey cap. We believe the man may own another dog possibly a Staffordshire Bull Terrier and he may be from the Longford area but could be from anywhere so we ask everyone to be vigilant in looking out for Chippy.

The police are investigating and we do have CCTV footage of the man in question. Our main aim is for the safe return of Chippy to our care.

Anyone with information please contact the Animal Centre on 02476336616 or Little Park Police Station.
