I guess Simba will look very different now that he is 12 yrs old. Labradors get stocky as they get older and very jowly I am not sure that an owner will recognise from the above picture unless he has some distinct marks or scars. Good luck though & I hope it is Simba so that he can be well cared for in his golden years.

Here is a statement from the facebook site from finder - Reported him as found with the dog warden today to cover the legal stuff. Signed to say we would foster him and keep him out of the kennels this Christmas which are full 😞 we have to keep him now for 28 days after which if not claimed we are his guardian under law - so the dog warden should be able to sort this out.

I copied this from the finder's site - looks like he is planning to keep this dog

Yes finder still has him and warden vet ect were notified my fingers are tightly crossed for you x
Marie61
My daughter has phone the kennel and the warden and we are waiting for them to get back. They have said they do not have a dog of his description so we are going direct to the lovely people who have found him x
choowie74
Sadly we live in a very cruel world I so hope the found one is your boy and can finally get back home for you to care and love him after all he's been through have you heard anything from them about the found one yet ? X
Marie61
Me too Choowie although my heart is breaking that a person could abandon him and leave him to starve. x
choowie74
Fingers crossed for you Marie hoping it's a good out come for you and hoping it's SIMBA x
Marie61
Hi Sarah and Choowie74. It looks like him but when he went missing he was not chipped but it could well be that someone has picked him up and kept him, he is the best dog and then got him chipped but has now abandoned him. We searched for months and months, knocking on doors, putting up posters. We always said that someone had taken him. We are trying to get through to the wardens now. Thanks for the information.
choowie74
Hi Marie as Sarah said you can get information from Cheshire west and Chester wardens link my link wasn't on public but has been changed now so should be able to see it now x
Sarah
Can I just add that as the post said that the wardens had been out to photograph and take details, the link for the Cheshire West and Chester wardens page is https://www.cheshirewestandchester.gov.uk/residents/pests-pollution-food-safety/animal-welfare/stray-and-abandoned-dogs/stray-dog-photographs.aspx The photo may appear on there but if not, there is a tel number and you could call them. x It should be those wardens I would have thought as the dog was found Chester area.Last edited: 2016-12-07 12:53:42 by Sarah

Looked out for Simba in Halewood RSPCA this afternoon. x

Still no sign of our boy but we will not give up. More posters going up this weekend. He has got to be somewhere and we won't rest until we find him. The house is far too big without him :(

Sadly Simba is still missing :(

There is a lab on http://www.strayaid.co.uk/index.php?option=com_content&view=category&layout=blog&id=1&Itemid=21 in the dogs for adoption section, kennel name Bracken, it has been neutered by strayaid. Can someone check it out please.
Marie61
Still searching for Simba but still nothing. Even the postmen are looking for him !! It seems like he has just vanished of the face of the earth. Ah well more posters and phone calls further afield this weekend.
Marie61
Got a call form the RSPCA and shot down there but alas it was not Simba. It was a beautiful very sad looking labrador with big brown eyes and a lovely longish coat. Apparently he had just been brought in from Alder vets. Hope his owner picks him up soon. Apparently he is chipped. Back to our search tonite. We keep thinking we can hear Simba barking in a local garden especially when there are ladders in the area (Simba hates ladders !!!!) So tonite we are door knocking and posting more leaflets with Buster, Simbas pal. Thanks again Jan and everyone. We will keep going until we find him x

Marie61, thanks for posting an update on his page it really does help.

Great you are getting calls you will get that most important call. I looked out for him today when I called into Halewood RSPCA. The staff said you had been in and they had your poster up which is brilliant. Keep up the work you are doing and it will pay off. Come on Simba we want to see you in the BLUE. xxx
Marie61
Thanks Jan and everyone. We have just had another false alarm sighting on Pottery Lane by the dogs trust and have just returned from searching the area. There was a dog there but not Simba and he/she could not be caught. The dog warden has been informed and we saw them arrive to continue with the search. The dog was very very frightened and dirty. No collar and golden medium size. So if anyone is looking for a dog of this description Jan he/she went into the National Trust park down the road from where the Quarry used to be or maybe the warden managed to cath him/her. Many thanks again to all for aiding us with our continuing search .

Email received today from family with photo/s of Simba and further details. He was wearing a black collar and does have distinguishing marks. Details updated and group photo now done. Will start sharing on FB a.s.a.p. x

Thanks minigirl for looking into this one. :)x

This sighted could well be Simba especially as he has been missing since the 12th April. If picked up in the area he could be taken to Leigh Cats & Dog's Home, the contact details are in the info/advice email and family were advised to contact them when I spoke to them last night. x

Simba's owner contacted the reporter of this sighted dog- she says it is not too far from where he went missing and a familiar area, She is going to contact the dog warden and vets and rescues in the area and visit the sighted area.

Spoke to family earlier tonight. They have contacted the right people and spreading the word. Simba went missing with their other dog who was found in the area. The back gate had been smashed after an attempted breakin and the dogs got out. I've give further advice and also email info/advice to owner. Photo/s will be getting sent or uploaded a.s.a.p. Details updated to show up on his DL poster. x
