Ah, happy endings! Stay safe lovely Scooby, and have a happy life xxx

Well done Teddysmum x

2013-02-08 11:51 DonnaB

I would also just like to say well done to Teddysmum, we know you worked hard on this case (and others) and you are a credit to this site.

2013-02-08 10:28 Ellie

Yes jobadger you are so right about Teddysmum. Teddysmum is another absolute WONDER WOMAN! Working hard for lots of furry animals through all our awful weather conditions, she's out there working tirelessly even though she has her own heartbreaks and problems! Where would we be without people like Teddysmum? Well done Teddysmum, you are an absolute STAR!!!

2013-02-08 10:14 jobadger

Yep Kimmybear - and couldn't agree more Ellie! My concern remains for Teddysmum in all of this debacle! She works her backside off for missing dogs. Long may it continue xx

2013-02-08 09:49 Ellie

Sorry, but just wanted to add that I have only known Shereen for one year but in that one year I have learned that Shereen thinks, lives and breaths dogs and most of her life is spent helping dogs wherever they may be whether in this country or another. She certainly wouldn't be saying that Scooby was safe if she wasn't. She works tirelessly for ALL dogs and their welfare and without her Doglost would be a lot worse off ! So if Shereen says that Scooby is safe then she most certainly is!!

Opps! Sorry Angus we were posting together. x

2013-02-08 00:10 DogLostKimmybear - Area Co-ordinator, Essex & Hertfordshire borders

I wonder if I might butt in here too? Sometimes the stories that we hear with our missing dogs do go beyond "missing dog" bounds. If something is a bit vague it may be because it is not possible to share everything on a public forum. Sometimes this puts us in an awkward position, wanting to share but not wanting to expose personal lives. You and Shereen have all worked so hard and you succeeded in finding Scooby. I don't know any more on this case than what is below, but I feel sure that Carl will see Scooby again, after all Lucy was kind enough to let Carl look after her in the first place. There must be lots of things going on that none of us are privvy to as our role is to help reunite the dog, so its not our place. And Scooby has been reunited with the owner she is chipped to who had an agreement with Carl. As much as we may want Carl to have Scooby back, it may just not be possible now, but that is between Carl and Lucy. If Shereen says Scooby is fine, then I know she is because Shereen would make absolutely sure. What happens now, is not for us. As Jobadger said below, this may well be the turning point Carl needs. Scooby is found so this is where our assistance must end. Well done to everyone who searched, shared, helped and cared. Maybe one day we'll hear how they all get on, meantime let's be pleased that Carl has not lost Scooby forever. x

2013-02-07 23:59 DogLostAngus

I have archived the comments which were pinked - please remember that we can only work with the information supplied to us - Scooby is safe and has been returned to her legal owner via her microchip through the correct legal stray dog system, whatever arrangements Carl and Lucy come to for her care is private and between them I think we need to respect this at this moment in time and allow them to sort out her future care.

2013-02-07 22:24 mathers22

So pleased Scooby has been found safe and well - well done xx

2013-02-07 21:52 millybeau

I think people are listening but its not what they want to hear. This poor dog should go back to the person from who it was stolen!

2013-02-07 21:31 DogLostJayne - Founder Doglost.

Hear hear....

2013-02-07 21:29 Shereen

im sorry ....I PINKED THE COMMENTS!....SCOOBY IS SAFE AND OTHERS NEED OUR HELP.....the time ive spent here today has been wasted as nobody is listening!.......My Passion is to help MISSING DOGS.....Scooby is FOUND and SAFE!

2013-02-07 21:28 DogLostJayne - Founder Doglost.

Like I said when a moderator comes on she will contact you..Thank you.

2013-02-07 21:21 DogLostJayne - Founder Doglost.

Oh gosh I have been" pinked" as well...all I was saying is can we have some calm until a co-ordinator can monitor....as all are dealing with missing dogs at the moment....

2013-02-07 20:14 DogLostJayne - Founder Doglost.

Tx Jobadger....there were earlier posts on this thread that were suggesting something may be amiss...every comment has been monitored by Shereen...who spoke to all concerned with her calm understanding manner ..and indeed today established with the dog warden that Scooby is safe and well...

2013-02-07 19:32 jobadger

I've just caught up with all of these comments. I'm very very pleased that Scooby is safe - perhaps this news will help Carl and his situation. I have to agree that I too have had very positive experiences with the homeless and their animals. Everyone has worked so hard to get this girl back home - we people posting on here don't know what's been going on in the background to get her back safely. As someone who's been doing rescue for some 30-odd years (not just with DL) I'm not at all surprised that she was found tied to railings. I think apologies are owed in certain quarters. I know from several recent experiences how economical people can be with the truth. It's not always easy to get a dog back to where it belongs. Very well done to all concerned. xx

2013-02-07 18:48 DogLostMillypod (Chris) - Administrative Volunteer

Thanks Shereen for updating Scooby's page.
So pleaded Scooby has been found. Enjoy your life with your brother and stay safe.xx

2013-02-07 18:09 Lisa123

So pleased Scooby is safe. Hope Carl finds it in himself to want to change and except some help and I wish him all the best.

2013-02-07 14:33 DogLostJayne - Founder Doglost.

Tx Shereen for up date...

2013-02-07 13:33 BBKM

Great news, so pleased Scooby is safe. Welcome home Scooby, lots of fun and play ahead for you and your brother xx

2013-02-07 13:08 Unknown

If this reunion makes Scooby happy, also her brother, and Lucy, then that`s all that matters. I dont think anyone was suggesting that homeless people dont look after their dogs. So pleased for you now you have her back. Stay safe now Scooby. Give her a big (HUG) from me:-)xxx

2013-02-07 12:24 Shereen

I have just had 100% conformation this is true...(Straight from the dog wardens mouth) I suppose the last thing We can all write on this page will be a BIG thank you to ALL who have helped spread the word....(Especially as we are all volunteers)....the dog warden said he has only seen a dog so ecstatic to see their owner a couple of times in his career...

I hope Scooby enjoys being Reunited with her brother and Lucy what a relief for this lovely girl.

Homeless people on the main look after their dogs just like people who have homes. Something here isnt right...people stole Carls dog, his companion they took money too according to the original story. Then suddenly the dog turns up in Dorset tied to some railings somewhere...has that been checked out with the wardens in Dorset??? if not why not??? The End is not the answer people need.

2013-02-05 21:13 millybeau

Proof is what is needed that this dog has been found.!! Something very underhand has happened here by the looks of it!

2013-02-05 20:39 Unknown

I am so pleased that Scooby has been found safe, and well. I do agree though with Ellie that dogs should be in a safe, and secure home; it`s just not safe these days for any dog to be on the street, albeit they have a caring, and loving owner. You have to think of the dog`s welfare, as well as the owner; Carl in this case who hopefully will soon get advice, and somewhere to live. stay safe now Scooby, and GOOD LUCK to Carl.

2013-02-05 20:15 bullt

I am so happy to hear that Scooby has been found safely - I understood that indeed Scooby had been microchipped - a responsible undertaking by Carl's ex. It is sad for Carl but for the dog, it has to be better to go back to her old owner and have the company of her brother and a secure life. Hopefully Carl will receive the support he needs and feel able to take it to try and sort his life. Whoever the person or people were who stole Scooby from him have a lot to answer for. In his fragile state, the invasion of his space and theft of his companion, not to mention money etc was bound to tip him over the edge. Really, so sad. x

Me to Westie213, Something stinks on here!

2013-02-05 18:59 Ellie&4Collies

I would also appreciate concrete proof from someone confirming that Scooby was collected in Dorset? If she is not chipped how was the owner found so quickly? Something just doesn't make sense. I really hope Scooby has been found

2013-02-05 18:25 Observant Citizen

Oh dear dinkydoodle...

2013-02-05 18:22 Observant Citizen

We are only taking teddysmums word that Scooby was found tied to railings in Dorset...
I found the wording on DogLost strange what teddysmum had written:

well everyone at dog lost scooby is found....she was tied to railings in dorset all friday until the warden rescued her.....she is now safe ...shereen i thank you for all of your help....you work tirelessly....and everyone who helped us....she wont be going back to carl....but to lucy in a house with a garden and her brother......the end

I text her earlier to ask if Scooby was ok and she said she has reported me to the police for hassassment!
Very strange...I have the text conversation on my phone and there is certainly no harassment issues!

2013-02-05 18:18 dinkydoodle

Agree with you Westie213

2013-02-05 17:54 Observant Citizen

I feel very uneasy about this whole situation..we have no concrete proof that Scooby has in fact been found, and she certainly hasn't been reunited with her owner Carl. When Scooby first went missing teddysmum stated that and I quote from the info above:
Stolen from a homeless man...she will be going crazy without him...they have been together since she was a pup and she will be missing him terribly...maybe not eating!...they need to be reunited,PLEASE HELP!
Yet now, all of a sudden, Scooby was conveniently found attached to railings in Dorset and has not been reunited with Carl at all. Is there anyway that DogLost can check with the wardens in Dorset that Scooby was found attached to railings?
I find this story very hit and miss and will continue to support Carl in having Scooby returned to him.

2013-02-05 16:45 ClaireC

May I add that on talking to lots of homeless people who have dogs in and around London these people's pets are normally overseen by the RSPCA Vets and they are regularly checked over. I also have to say that the many dogs that I have ever seen are very well looked after and I agree don't take "treats" if they are offered them.

2013-02-05 16:41 Ottis1

I too am so pleased that Scooby has been found safe.Sometimes people are very quick to judge and I feel sorry that it has not worked out the way Carl would have hoped.

2013-02-05 15:59 angi

I am really pleased Scooby has been found and is now living with a lady he knows well and his brother. I believe every case should be taken on merit and agree there are so many people living in comfortable homes who neglect their dogs. My own experience of the homeless and their dogs in my area is a positive one. The dogs are clearly much loved and in very good condition. They sit in the duvet with their owner and I offer treats which they don't eat as they are not hungry.Most of these dogs could run away at any time as they rarely use a lead although the ones's I see have collars.I agree Carl is the one who needs help now if he is willing to accept it.I hope he is able to find it in himself to move forward in his life as his ex partner did xxx

2013-02-05 14:56 Puddies

Glad scooby has been found. Whilst I agree that dog owners should be responsible I disagree that homeless people should not have dogs. These dogs are with their owners 24/7 unlike many that are left at home all day alone whilst people work with no provision made for company/letting out etc. The ones I see in Exeter are always are of good body weight, have coats on, infact most of the time I see them they are snuggled up in their duvets with a water bowl beside them. Having dogs is often the only form of love/empathy and companionship homeless people have, many peoples lives would be even more unbearable if they did not have their dogs. When I worked in practice the Dogs trust had a scheme that paid for vaccinations and emergency care for such cases, even microchipped the dogs. We had several brought in by their owners and these dogs were much loved. I wish Carl all the best for the future.

I am so pleased that Scooby has been found and is now in a happy home with someone she knows and of course her brother. I have been following this case as it is fairly local to me but have not wanted to comment because quite frankly I have to say that I agree with charl7 to a point.People should not have dogs if they are not in a situation to be able to look after them properly. These dogs that are with homeless people are out in the elements through all weathers and it certainly is not a decent life! To add to this - who is going to pay the vet fees when these poor dogs need attention? Dog owners should be responsible people and from what I have read about Carl he is not responsible.I agree with AkitaTaz we should now be focusing on Carl. There is a lot of help in Oxford for people in Carls situation including a wonderful place called the Ley Community. One of the problems with people that are on drugs is that they sometimes don't want to help themselves and this is very sad. If Carl will except the help he will then have a chance to better himself and become a responsible citizen who could become a caring dog owner. As we on this site know only to well, dogs are wonderful, faithful companions. I even have a magnet on my fridge that says 'The more people that I meet, the more I love my dog'. This of course is tongue in cheek, but with these wonderful, faithful animals we need to be in a situation to give them something back, and sadly dark cold streets and pavements are not acceptable.

Great news, very happy for Scooby and Lucy, hope Carl gets some peace of mind now she is safe.

2013-02-05 09:41 signthetruck

I agree too that Carl needs to be followed through.

2013-02-05 09:33 ClaireC

So pleased that this dog has been found and is now safe. I agree with comments that perhaps the authorities should be encouraged to support the poor man. But always remembering that it has to be accepted by him. I do sincerely hope that he too will be OK.

2013-02-05 08:58 Tenit

I'm with AkitaTaz, what would be the best way to lend Carl some support? Though perhaps with Scooby back in Oxford he might be feeling better.

2013-02-05 08:39 AkitaTaz

I am so pleased that Scooby is going to a safe home but should we now not be turning our attention to Carl who has obviously suffered due to this incident and is now in dire need of help from someone?

2013-02-04 23:35 DogLostJulie - Area Co-ordinator - Surrey & South London

FANTASTIC - I am so pleased poor little thing left tied up to railings like that I also hope she is ok. I am however sad for Carl but I guess he can keep in touch with Lucy to see how Scooby is getting on. All good wishes for the future. Julie x

2013-02-04 23:13 Shereen

WONDERFUL NEWS!!!....I just hope she is okay after her ordeal and never has to go through anything like that ever again.xxx

2013-02-02 21:15 Freetherich

Not been able to get back down bournemouth, so I shall send some posters to my folks for them to up in the area.

2013-02-01 17:13 Tenit

Yes, I too apologise to charl7. Though, if they heard it through a reliable source, couldn't they track down who did it through the grapevine, by asking where they heard it from?

2013-02-01 11:54 signthetruck

Apologies then to Charl7 but the post made it seem they they actually knew more. Sharing and tweeting Scooby

2013-01-29 10:43 Shereen

Ive just heard back from Charl7....I will be speaking to her a little later...she isn't withholding anything and doesn't know where Scooby is....she only has Scoobys best interest in mind and is also searching for her....I know everyone is upset by this but please help us investigate by sharing Scooby's story thank you

I cant believe somebody is watching these updates and withholding information! Charl7 it is against the law to steal animals! If the people who have Scooby are so concerned for her welfare they should of reported it NOT waited until her owner slept and then stole her! Or are these people so righteous that they are above the law???? disgusting!!

2013-01-28 19:30 teddysmum

ooooooooooooooooops i meant police

2013-01-28 19:29 teddysmum

torture...............waiting when charl is obviously witholding information....shereeen wouldnt it be wise to maybe contact oxfordshire ploice with this email address then we can find her....lucy is besides herself....so close but so so far

2013-01-27 18:18 DogLostJulie - Area Co-ordinator - Surrey & South London

Charl7 would you please think of Scooby and do the right thing and let someone know where she is - it is very upsetting that you have been watching all the posts on here when you had information which would have helped. Please please have a heart and let Scooby go home to Lucy. J.x

2013-01-27 17:56 teddysmum

i cant actually believe someone thought they were right to take scooby its surely dogknapping....lucy wants her back so bad

2013-01-27 17:48 teddysmum

once scooby is found she will go to lucy who is absolutely devastated cant sleep or eat she left scooby with carl to keep him away from the drugs....we know that didnt work but its irrelevant...lucy is ill with worry scooby will go to york to live...pls pls contact shereen charl7 put us out of our misery PLEASE

2013-01-27 16:29 Shereen

Charl7...please would you reply to my email?

2013-01-27 11:01 Observant Citizen

I am absolutely horrified to read that a certain individual (charl7) is withholding important information about Scooby's whereabouts. This horrendous situation has been going on long enough...your RELIABLE SOURCE should be ashamed of themselves and you also. Carl is a lovely man who's only wish is to have his friend returned. Maybe you should spend a night alone on the streets charl7-then report back, or use your reliable source to do so.

2013-01-26 18:05 teddysmum

im in morocco and have been trying to recover scooby so she can go live with lucy carls ex girlfreind and rightful owner of scooby...lucy is a good woman has a lovely home and really needs scooby back....im willing to give a reward myself if you can help me find her pls pls pls do the right thing and contact me im back in the uk 29th in the evening my number is 07826387508....pls pls help lucy she has the brother of scooby and really wants her home she now lives near york.....is clean....and free of her past
carl doesnt have another dog it is his freinds pup

2013-01-26 10:43 Shereen

charl7 I have emailed you,please can you check you're inbox.Thanks

2013-01-25 19:08 Tenit

charl7, If you have information that Scooby was taken by people, for whatever reason, than you are witholding evidence from the police. If in the past you had such concern about Scooby's treatment by her owner, than you should have contacted the RSPCA or another reputable authority in order for them to assess the situation. It is NOT acceptable to support the unlawful stealing of an animal and withold any valuable information you might have from the search. If Carl is really not giving her a proper quality of life, then that is something for the authorities to decide, not private vigilantes who steal another person's property and a living being. If Scooby would be happier elsewhere, then an animal shelter would only be too happy to support her rehoming. I urge you to reconsider your position, and work with the authorities so that this thief can see justice. Scooby should have her best chance at a happy life, whether that is with Carl or a new home - but it is certainly not in the hands of some misguided person who has broken the law and caused a lot of unnecessary pain.

2013-01-25 13:07 charl7

Hi, I have been looking at these postings since January when I heard about Scooby. I work in Oxford and have been talking to homeless people who have dogs for over two years (giving them dog food and this case a lead, which I never saw Scooby on)- Carl and Scooby being amongst the main ones. My concern is for the dogs. The last time I saw Scooby was in Oxford on 18th December. I have been informed by a reliable source that Scooby was taken by people who were concerned for her welfare and, I believe, rightly so. Please do not be so easily swayed by what you read - which will always have a bias and please do not urge another dog on this recipient. I was informed last night that he has indeed had another dog in the meantime, which he no longer has - what has happened to the dog I cannot tell you. Please think about the welfare of the dogs first. I keep my eyes and ears open for Scooby's whereabouts and am anxious too for any firm news.

2013-01-21 14:23 Freetherich

Was in bournemouth yesterday, have left some posters with my folks. hoping to get day off work soon so can go back down and blanket the b'mouth/ poole areas with posters.

2013-01-20 18:44 teddysmum

still no word....keeping hopeful

2013-01-18 22:13 Freetherich

Understandable but very sad to read that Carl is in such a bad way, and that his heartbreaking situation is only getting worse, with no breakthru yet, Scooby gotta be somewhere !
Got my mate to print some posters, hope the weather dont stop me getting to bournemouth this sunday.
Praying for the safe return of Scooby.

2013-01-17 12:05 jo

a friend of mine was wondering if it is hitting this homeless man so hard as he is lost without her would it be worth him having another dog to look after from a rescue until he gets scooby back i hope he will be reunited with scooby someone must have seen her or know where she is as the pics and emails are going all over the uk i hope someone comes forward and he finds her so sad

2013-01-17 09:25 Mollie & Will's Mum

OK Thanks for checking.

There is a Kelpie listed on the DL Herts FB page as found in Hoddesden, but can't see it listed on DL Found. She looks much lighter in colour than Scooby, but worth a check under the circs.

This is just so awfully sad - is there any news at all or sightings of Scooby ? There are so many people on Scooby's facebook page all looking, sharing and e-mailing surely she must soon be found. It is just heartbreaking that Carl is now drinking again brought on by the disgusting individual who stole Scooby. If there is anything you would specifically like doing please post on here and we will ensure it is done. You are a real angel teddysmum for all the help you have given Carl and Lucy and the incredible hard work you have done in trying to track Scooby down. Julie x

2013-01-16 21:17 teddysmum

for the first time in years carl is back on the drink....lucy his ex girlfreind who has worked so so hard to break away from carl to have a better future and has got herself a flat after 5 yrs of street life ,she kept scoobys brother leo and had the good grace to get scooby(real name little roo)microchipped, she has decided when she is found to take her back...i will of course drive her from oxford to thirsk....carl will no doubt go back to the hard stuff he has battled so long to stay away from...lucy is a wonderful girl and wants to take scooby back to a good life where she belongs...she cant ever risk losing her again she only left her with carl so he wouldnt drink again...and now he is...its not even my pup but ive slept so little worrying about the fate of all three in this triangle...i go away next week for 9 days and im so worried i really want to get her home before i go....any any help at all will be just so gratefully recieved...thankyou all so much for your support

2013-01-15 18:23 signthetruck

Hi, people wanted to get a reward set up for Scoobys return so we arranged a chip-in. If its not used perhaps it could be set up as a fund for Scooby for future vet bills ect.

2013-01-14 23:51 Freetherich

Carl, I am gutted you have to face another night without Scooby, nights are always the hardest, darkest place to be when you're going thru living hell. seems to me you are worth a million of the scum who have done this to you, my heart n soul go out to to ya.
I am taking some posters with me this sunday wen I visit my folks in Bournemouth,good luck to ya man.
teddysmum, I think you are a saint x.

2013-01-14 21:26 DogLostJulie - Area Co-ordinator - Surrey & South London

I have e-mailed PDSA and Blue Cross who are both circulating Scooby's details to all their clinics in the UK and also Bournemouth Council for their Dog Wardens, bin men and pest control as they are out and about and may just spot Scooby. There are now 1,600 people on Scooby's facebook page surely she will soon be spotted. Praying for Carl and Scooby. Julie x

2013-01-13 23:52 AnnieSparky

teddysmum you are doing fantastic and can imagine feeling exhausted....keep strong, info will surely turn up with all this hard work. There are so many people also looking out for her and the police. Have vets and dog wardens in Bournemouth been emailed Scoobys poster too, I can help with that if needed.
Fingers crossed shes found very soon xx

So sorry to see Scooby still not back where she belongs with Carl. I live a long way from Bournemouth but will also keep a watch on any websites I can.
I read on another page how the Neighbourhood Police Teams will sometimes circulate info about lost/stolen dogs. Apologies if this already done but there is a webpage "Bournemouth Central Safer Neighbourhood Team" where you can contact/email them and they have facebook and Twitter. I also noticed on their webpage info about a Night Shelter for Homeless called St. Paul's Direct Access Hostel,10 Saint Paul's Lane, Bournemouth BH8 8AJ
Phone:01202 587160 (Project Leader Mark Horsford).

I keep looking and hoping for some news on Scooby - she is so distinctive, it's hard to believe no one has noticed her turn up in their area. Stay safe girl until you can get back to Carl. x

Will try and share with community groups in Bournemouth. Is this guy homeless or has he moved to a hostel or house ? If you don't want to post this information on here please message me via facebook. Everyone who has heard of Scooby is desperate to find her and reunite her with Carl. It is a situation that has touched many people's hearts - it is bad enough to have a dog lost or stolen when you are lucky enough to have a home but when you have no home I just can't imagine how awful it must be. I will also share with any rescues in the Bournemouth area just in case Scooby wanders and ends up in one. Julie x

i have tried to get cctv footage but had no luck....its going from bad to worse...carl has relapsed...we now have heard the guy we think has him is called andrew green...lucy carls ex has informed the police....he comes from didcot hence the sighting in didcot parkway but has moved to bournemouth...we are sure she is in that area.......im desperate to get her back to him...he is at the end....this guy has fought so many demons and was on the way to a home and job when this happened

2013-01-11 20:30 Shereen

Hi LindaT...I also asked about CCTV footage but apparently nothing has turned up!

2013-01-11 11:47 LindaT

Was there no CCTV footage available? Or have I missed this somewhere on another post? I do hope these two can be reunited very soon, and I hope Carl can hold things together for when he gets Scooby back, she will most definately need him as much as he needs her ... be strong Carl, what a rotten world we are living in when this can happen :-( I wonder if a reward would bring Scooby home?

2013-01-11 09:41 DogLostJulie - Area Co-ordinator - Surrey & South London

Scooby's facebook page now has over 1,000 people looking and sharing - they are all e-mailing, checking out places and looking for her. Surely she will be seen soon. J. x

2013-01-10 23:19 DogLostJulie - Area Co-ordinator - Surrey & South London

I am so sorry to hear this sad information - please let Carl know Scooby's facebook page has 988 members all over the country all looking out for her and sharing with their friends. I have e-mailed PDSA, Salvation Army, Emmaus who I think are a community group helping the homeless - I am sure it is only a matter of time before someone spots her. Please tell Carl to keep the faith and DO NOT give up we will do everything we can to find her. Julie x

2013-01-10 22:58 teddysmum

the dog in the picture IS scooby ....carls ex girlfreind has been in oxford this week trying to help him....he is at the end...in a pit...i dont know what to do im so sad any info will be som gratefully recieved to getting her back

2013-01-10 00:06 Candycharlie

I did look for scooby on Sunday but no joy I also went to shelter but no joy however they were aware already of the situation and are keeping an eye out

2013-01-09 19:06 DogLostJulie - Area Co-ordinator - Surrey & South London

So hoping Scooby would have been found by now - many people also on her facebook page sharing and looking out for her surely it is only a matter of time before she is spotted. Praying for Scooby and Carl - we really need them back together. Julie x

Another long shot as described as a lurcher cross, but looks similar especially the ears:

Hi CatS, I've just had a look and agree she looks very similar, will see what co ordinators and admin think.

2013-01-07 23:34 CatS

Not sure if it's Scooby but I spotted this advert online and she sure looks like her, if the link could be passed on to the person helping him that would be great. Please copy and paste the link into your browser to view the advert. - http://www.pets4homes.co.uk/classifieds/200838-gorgeous-12-month-old-female-cross-breed-manchester.html I hope it is her, if not I will keep my eyes peeled on the classifieds.

2013-01-07 10:02 Wendy

Please whoever knows Carl,let him know that everyone is sharing this on facebook and he mustn't give up hope because Scooby will be found and then she will need him. x

2013-01-06 23:29 Flintstones

I have shared the facebook post and it shows the old photo. Still trying to find the Facebook Link in the comments below but neither work! Thinking of Carl and hoping Scooby will be back safe and very soon.

2013-01-06 17:46 DogLostJulie - Area Co-ordinator - Surrey & South London

teddysmum - please let Carl know that there are many of us looking for Scooby and we are sharing Scooby's details far and wide. There is now a facebook page too which will help so much in getting the word out. Praying Scooby is soon found safe and well. Julie x

2013-01-06 12:41 DogLostJulie - Area Co-ordinator - Surrey & South London

I have been in touch with the Salvation Army who have kindly agreed to send out Scooby's details to their homeless teams - praying she is found very soon. Julie x

2013-01-06 12:19 Poppy & Willow's Mum

I am not in any of the areas mentioned, but have joined and shared the facebook page anyway. As there is much debate about whether Scooby is an Australian Kelpie would it be worth amending this description in her details, just in case it makes a difference when people are looking?

This dog was possibly sighted in boscombe bournemouth yesterday, the person who sighted the dog has phoned the number on the poster also local police and dog warden

2013-01-05 19:45 DogLostJayne - Founder Doglost.

Essex police have confirmed this is a hoax.

2013-01-05 19:37 Unknown

Thank you everyone. We don't think Scooby has been taking for fighting. Facebook is full of hoax stories on animals and it's best not to repeat them.

2013-01-05 19:15 tigerlee78

i have shared the advert for this dog on my facebook, someone on my list said to try the police as apparently theres a bloke down in london who has been stealing dogs for fighting , they have found 19 dead and more still alive and are asking ppl to contact the police, dont want to upset anyone here, but its worth checking in case she is there, she could be one of the ones they have saved trying to find its owner you never know. according to posts on facebook, the bloke they have caught for doing this have had garages full of dogs, weather its a rumor or truth i dont know, im miles away from london, but thought i best post here as it says to do on the ad just in case. any hope is better than no hope, hope she is back with poor carl soon bless him xxx

Not in area, but just saw this story on FB, am sharing as far and wide as I can, and will of course keep an eye open here in Swindon. Hoping that Carl and Scooby are soon re-united. Stay strong Carl, you have an entire army on your side fighting to get Scooby back where she belongs xxx

Hi Lisa - have e-mailed you ! No problems sending out e-mails my only wish is that Scooby is found safe and well. It is just so very sad. Julie x

2013-01-05 12:51 Kelpie Welfare

Hi, firstly I sincerely hope this dog is found and reunited with its owner. However this is certainly not a pure Kelpie, working or show, and from the picture, would doubt even a cross. Only making this point as if I were to find such a dog, I would not describe it as a Kelpie or KX, more likely a bull breed x or GSD x. Never see brindle colouring in kelpies. Hope that helps somehow and hope they're reunited soon.

2013-01-05 12:26 Observant Citizen

Good Afternoon Julie,thank you so much for sending out e-mails. I shared the link about Scooby on The Argus (page on Facebook which supplements news for the Brighton area). Are you on Facebook?! You can add me if you would like! Lisa West or search me by email on there at lisawest360@yahoo.co.uk

wow how sad.. shared this on f/b xx

2013-01-05 01:29 emmalouise

Thanks for the info bessamour, not a breed you see much of here and interested as there's a dog in rescue (definitely not scoobie) who looks just like her but they thought he was an English bull terrier cross
it does seem likely to be another homeless person, stealing the £38 and lead suggests that, but it could be he's sold her on, will ask some friends in Brighton if they can lookout and poster x

2013-01-04 21:17 Observant Citizen

Hi Julie! Thank you for the comment you left earlier. It seems that there is a strong possiblity that Scooby is with another homeless person, who could now be in the Brighton area. Apparently, a man left for Brighton from a homeless hostel in Oxford, and Scooby was not sighted since. It would be fantastic if you could contact the Salvation Army etc...in the meantime I will contact Sussex police. Wouldn't it be lovely if we could reunite Scooby with her owner? :(

2013-01-04 19:37 mumblessed

I've asked Brighton Street Pastors to keep an eye out.

2013-01-04 18:29 Dog Walking Bromley

Saw a dog like this in a Bromley park before Christmas, lady said it was a rescue Kelpie, so I looked twice as its unusual, she was a bit vague, said it may be a cross. Maybe circulate Bromley area?

2013-01-04 17:53 DogLostJulie - Area Co-ordinator - Surrey & South London

Westie213 is it likely that Scooby could be with another homeless person ? If so I will try and contact Salvation Army etc. as they may see her while out helping the homeless - also have Sussex police been informed and made aware ? Will await to hear back from you. Julie x

2013-01-04 13:50 colliebird

Working Kelpies can come in any colour. KC registered Kelpies are restricted to certain solid colours for the show ring. Scooby looks just like a working Kelpie:-)

this story really is the cherry on top of the disgustingness of humanity (sure that doesnt make much sense) but seriously what is wrong with people

Scooby is pretty distinctive too, not common to see kelpies particularly brindle about surely someone must have seen her! x

Please check google images for brindle kelpie - there are much better photos showing,and I'm hoping will fit Scooby's description better making the search for her simpler.I do hope she's back with her owenr soon,he must be devastated to have lost his companion.

Here's just one image - is it a closer match? http://www.workingdogrescue.com.au/2010/09/ramsey-brindle-male-2yo-kelpie-x-willawong-pound-qld/

She was stolen whilst her and her owner were sleeping in the Church porch way..some of her belongings were also taken...so we know its a theft...owner was approached a month or so ago asking if he would sell her ...he was offered alot of money for her..of course he refused..

2012-12-30 13:13 colliebird

What were the circumstances of the theft? Was the dog with it's owner or was it left outside by itself? Even if the dog was wearing a collar, if the person is homeless there's no address. Does the owner have a mobile and number was on a tag?

2012-12-30 12:40 Shereen
