Welcome home Gracie xx
Helen
We found her!!!! She was under some bushes in the wild growth beside the park. She was happy to see us and doesnt look too bad considering she's been living rough for 3 weeks.

Thank you to everyone. You have all done so much to help find Gracie. It was a DogLost poster which led to her being recognised. I am so grateful.
DogLostJulie - Area Co-ordinator - Surrey & South London
Helen - does she have a favorite toy pref. one with a squeak or noise that may entice her to you or does she have a favourite doggy friend that could go along with you she may come to. Failing that very smelly food burgers, sausages anything with a very strong meaty smell. Fingers crossed you manage to catch her. Julie x
skippy
Good Luck Helen!
DogLostreggiemollieros
I really hope you can find a way to get her to come to you. I have someone putting up more posters in the park area tonight.
Moocher
Nothing to add except ..... good luck! Keeping everything crossed that tonight's the night!
Helen
Thank you. Will try all of that.
DogLostCJ - Police Liaison & SE Regional Coordinator
i have emailed advice direct to you
Helen
Does anyone have any suggestions or advice on getting here to come out of hiding? There is alot of undergrowth and wild bushes near where I saw her. She could hide forever in there.
Helen
Went to Burgess Park and spotted Gracie through a boarded up fence! The park is largely closed at the moment for development but managed to find a loose fence and got in. She had disappeared. Called and called. Then a council guy came and made us leave (health and safety). He didnt care about Gracie being there. When they were letting us out two of the workmen said theyd seen her there in the park last week. We hung around for hours looking through the fence. Im going back with food later this evening when the workmen have gone, going back in thru the loose fence. I just hope she comes to me. She must be very frightend after nearly 3 weeks. At least I know where she is now, getting her to come is the problem. Tried Southwark Dog Wardens to access park. They put me on to RSPCA who told me to call police.

I have updated my posts and also blitzed twitter again. I have also updated the SE1 forum as someone on there had offered to put up posters. Last edited: 2012-08-21 17:14:14 by reggiemollieros

Had a phonecall from an ambulance driver saying her spotted gracie this a.m. near Wyndham Rd/Burgess Park. He had seen the poster shortly before spotting her
DogLostreggiemollieros
I have added Gracie's details to The London Dog Forum should be on as soon as Andi gets a chance http://www.londondogforum.co.uk/dogs-lost-or-stolen-c545.html I have also added Gracie to the SE1 forum which is pretty active.

On Southwark website they are offering free microchipping at this park. Would it be worth taking some small posters down there and asking them to hand them out or just show them to people who are coming to get their dogs chipped?
Nursery Row Park, Orb Street, SE17 1AL. 8 July to 2 September.
DogLostreggiemollieros
Just checking in. Still sharing and asking people to put up posters. Thank you Lex I am sure Helen will really appreciate your help.
Lex
I can put some posters up in my area. I live in Camberwell, near Wyndham road. I'll put them there and around New Church street at the bottom end of Burgess park. Hope you find her safe and well.

Thanks so much for your help!!! Didnt know about Gumtree but have put an ad in as you suggested. Im not on Facebook or Twitter so really appreciate you putting it up there.
DogLostreggiemollieros
Had a twitter blitz and got some re-tweets and a woman called Liz who lives local has offered to put up some posters. She said: Larcom St, behind the library on Walworth Rd; I'll put some up around there and near Nursery Row park. I also emailed South London Press on the off chance they might do an article if they get in touch with me I shall come back on here and get in touch or speak to Nik in Doglost PR.
DogLostreggiemollieros
I am sure you have plenty of posters up but just in case is certainly worth it as a local dog was reunited recently and the finder waited to see if a poster would go up before they did anything. I hope you and Gracie are reunited soon. Also have you checked other kennels besides Battersea as a lost dog was handed into Southwark police station and ended up in a kennel quite far from there. They dog warden was supposed to inform Battersea but they did not. This other dog was not chipped so at least you have that on your side. I have been sharing on Twitter and Facebook. One other thing if you have not tried it is to place an advert in the Missing Section of gumtree. I was emailing a man the other day and he was reunited that way. Some finders are just a bit lost as to what they should do. Although in London Battersea is quite well known for being the place to contact. Last edited: 2012-08-13 10:01:11 by reggiemollieros

Gracie still missing Have taken all the recommended steps + endlessly searching the streets and parks calling her name. Its like looking for a needle in a haystack. Very worried
Helen
Had seen that but Gracie's collar is green, not red. Person who found that dog also got in touch. Still hoping & praying. And thankful to all of you for your help!
ROB
Any chance this could be this little terrier found in Dagenham yesterday wearing a red collar? See found dog list.
Sue
Helen
Have done as you suggested. Also added that she was originally picked up as a stray in Putney common. Could she have tried to get to her original home???
DogLostreggiemollieros
If you want to change it the terriers are listed under T then alphabetically e.g. Terrier Border Terrier Fox etc....
I will share again on twitter and hope she is home soon.
