Any news ?

2016-01-31 09:04 ClaireC

Liz to date she has never been found. Still always crosschecking though. She is never far from my thoughts when a GSD is found! Thank you for asking.

2015-10-09 23:30 *

any news please, was she found

2015-06-02 18:40 ClaireC

Still continuing to cross check all female GSDS found.

2015-02-06 15:33 ClaireC

I do keep checking as indeed probably her 51 followers do against other found GSDs. x

2014-11-11 09:50 ClaireC

I do still check for the lovely Kelly xx

2014-08-10 10:24 ClaireC

Still here keeping watch x

2014-06-19 19:59 ClaireC

Hi redfred just to let you know that we still cross check for Kelly x

2014-04-25 14:15 ClaireC

Thanks Shelagh I have been keeping an eye on this "sighted" one. x

2014-04-21 22:19 Shelagh

There is a dog posted found section sighted not caught. Black gsd.no further details think wild same location as Kelly. No contact number but location

2014-04-12 19:37 ClaireC

Still checking and cross-checking. x

2014-03-30 17:14 BigGSDPatlucky

Any news on this poor.
Hope she is found soon

2014-03-14 09:24 ClaireC

I have sent Kelly's owner an email to see if he can make some enquiries. Thank you all for continuing to look for this lovely girl xx

2014-03-14 09:14 ClaireC

Hi I cannot get onto the link either. What I will do is post the info here and ask owner if he can just double check with them as well. Thank you.

Patlucky, I tested, it does work. :o)

Is it working for everyone else

Another one here, found in Whitby:
http://www.cheshirewestandchester.gov.uk/residents/environment/animal_welfare/stray_and_abandoned_dogs/stray_dog_photographs.aspx

Type: German Shepherd (B)
Date: 10 March 2014
Found: Whitby
Rehousing Date: 18 March 2014

2014-03-13 06:19 Abe babe

I thought the same Claire but didn't want to overlook any possibility... I sometimes fear these sort of details are left off somehow, maybe even through multiple copy and paste etc..
The search goes one....

2014-03-12 09:32 ClaireC

Thanks Abe babe but very poss not Kelly as they are saying no distinguishing features. Kelly does have a very clear one inasmuch as she is blind in one eye and having had a dog that was blind it is very noticeable and would have thought they would have picked upon it. Guess will have to wait for a photograph to go on. Thank you for continuing to look for her x

2014-03-12 05:55 Abe babe

UK National Missing Pet Register...
They don't give pic or much information but worth checking, found in Manchester 8/2/14:
http://www.nationalpetregister.org/fp/56801.htm
(Apologies if this was the same dog as found 64424 which Kelly's owner has already seen.. but I don't think so).

2014-03-11 20:35 ClaireC

Somebody must know where she is!

2014-03-11 16:28 BigGSDPatlucky

This dog would stand out in a crowd.
She is different markings from most dogs.
I hope she is found soon.

2014-03-10 20:57 Unknown

Just checking. Come on Kelly. Please get found very soon.

2014-03-10 16:09 ClaireC

Thank you everyone x

2014-03-09 15:55 Abe babe

..me too, I look for her every day :o(

2014-03-09 15:25 Unknown

So hoping to see her on reunited page soon.

2014-03-05 21:12 DogLostSherlock- Area Co-ordinator & Police Liaison - Avon & South Gloucestersh

Tweeted for this little girl and send positive vibes for her safe, speedy return home xx

2014-03-05 18:42 duffs54

Fingers crossed this might get some results so she can be reunited, it must be awful especially as there hasn't been any sightings she is quite a distinctive girl.

2014-03-05 18:14 ClaireC

Good to see she is in April edition and really hoping that this will bring in some much awaited news. Thank you x

2014-03-05 17:50 DogLostCJ - Police Liaison & SE Regional Coordinator

I agree as well so have amended I dont think many would list a dog as such most use the GSD name so best to use that as well.

2014-03-05 12:52 Unknown

Abe babe I thought that too. Really hope that the article in "Dogs Today" If anyone has any suspicions of whre Kelly might be, then please contact her owners, ir if you prefer speak to Doglost in confidence. As she is visually impaired she really needs to be with her family. Make her "TOO HOT TO HANDLE" All xd for a happy outcome.

2014-03-05 12:13 Unknown

Kelly is featured in the April issue of Dogs Today. Subscriber copies hit doormats today, shops by the end of the week.

Would it help if Kelly was listed as German Shepherd, I've noticed she doesn't come up when I'm cross matching because of her Alsation listing.... and I think most folk would call her a GSD. It would be very sad if she was missed when cross matching GSD found dogs.
?...just a thought....

2014-02-23 22:38 Karen:)

I didn't think it was but thought worth a check but will keep a look out for this girl and hope she's found soon xx

2014-02-23 21:11 ClaireC

I received an email back. Sadly it was found that after a lot of grooming it was found that this dog was a male and therefore not Kelly! Thank you again for continuing to cross check and letting us know. x

2014-02-23 18:22 ClaireC

Hi Karen, I have emailed them to compare their found dog to Kelly. I have to say that I do have my doubts. But Kelly is very distinctive as she is blind in one eye. I have also copied the owner in on my email to them. Thank you fo continuing to look out for this special girl xx

2014-02-23 01:17 Karen:)

http://fb.me/14EfKMAuq please take a look at dog found I know it's a long shot but they really do look similar xxx. Facebook page Yorkshire animal shelter or twitter page @YorksAnimals

The found dog was sadly not Kelly. The search continues for this lovely girl x

I've just sent Richie a message - copy pasted here:
Richie, as an animal lover I'm asking you please if you can do an interview with someone to highlight the horrors (and rise) of dog thefts in the UK. Doglost is an amazing tool for folk with missing loved-ones, there are happy endings of course but many break your heart. I paste here a link to Kelly who is a German Shepherd believed stolen, she's blind in one eye:
http://www.doglost.co.uk/dog-blog.php?dogId=47929
Just take a tour around the site and you will see how many of these dogs are stolen, and who knows for what purpose.
I believe the Kent Constabulary even have a designated officer due to the number of thefts.
Please help Kelly and perhaps others....
Blessings to you and all at TPV,

The People's Voice is a recently set-up on-line TV show which is a platform FOR the truth about our world as opposed to the stuff the mainstream media feeds us.
Richie Allen is a huge animal lover and has recently interviewed Paula Campbell from Rainbow Ark animal sanctuary about her eviction and the fate of the animals in her care.
If enough of us contact Richie and ask him to highlight the horrors of dog thefts I'm sure he'll oblige: http://www.thepeoplesvoice.tv/contact-us/

2014-02-04 19:06 ClaireC

Thank you Nik for your help and just so hope it brings in some much awaited news x

2014-02-04 19:02 Unknown

Kelly will be going into the April edition of Dogs Today.

2014-01-31 09:30 ClaireC

Digbysmum, I asked Redfred that and I do believe he has asked "someone" up there and was told no. Thank you for thinking of Kelly though xx

2014-01-30 12:46 digbysmum

Could Kelly possibly be one of the dogs seized by the police at Iwade? Just a thought. Hope she is soon safely home with her family xxx

2014-01-29 16:21 Unknown

Me too Claire. Hope she is being made "TOO HOT TO HANDLE". I wish these thieves would keep their hands off other people`s pets. I feel like chopping their hands off. Grrrr....

2014-01-29 16:02 ClaireC

So do I hope this brings in some much awaited news of this special girl.x

2013-04-21 17:46 Unknown

Come on Kelly, get yourself found, and reunited. I do wish people would have their pets "Chipped" though. Paws, and fingers xd. Make her "Too hot to handle"

2013-04-10 21:10 ClaireC

Still keep looking for this girl please.

2013-04-05 19:49 ClaireC

I really hope this is Kelly, on google maps it showed not far from motorway. Maybe
Someone dropped her off! Something someone might do if she was stolen.
I pray its her!! X

2013-04-05 09:24 ClaireC

Spoke with owner on some potential info of use and using this among various contacts to try and see if can be of use.
Kelly is so distinctive with her blind eye so visually should be very easy to be recognised.

2013-03-01 20:16 jo

2013-02-23 11:34 ClaireC

Anybody out there who might be going to Crufts and would be prepared to put a big poster on your car window (whilst parked!)of Kelly with her details on for him please? If so can you leave details on here so that the owner can get in touch with you. Thanking you all in anticipation. xx I had originally asked if anybody could hand out flyers but I believe its not allowed!

Hi Redfred there have been some dogs that were stolen last year that have now been reunited. I am sure that kelly will one day be found too. I am sure I speak for everyone that although it may have gone quiet that doesnt mean folk have stopped looking. Keep your spirits high. Sometimes it may be a good idea to keep on askng police to look at cctv or info that you have given them

Hi all, I am the owner of Kelly and it has gone a little quiet on leads so please can you continue to keep and eye out for Kelly, facebook(where she has her own page and 200+ friends- thanks again) and this site are working really hard so hopefully get her back soon. The police are following up some info & some CCTV - but this takes time I hear, A special thanks to Jill and Claire and the kind people at lostdog keep up the tremendous work!
Cheers Redfred

I've posted Kelly's photos, doglost link and facebook page link to 55 groups again on Facebook today..........got more shares and willing pairs of eyes to keep look out for her.

2013-02-17 10:06 ClaireC

Hi any news?

2013-02-15 19:06 ClaireC

Have shown Kelly's photo around a "new" little travellers site today. Have to be honest that the chap I spoke to he does look after his 2 healthy looking dogs and they do just simply love him. He told me he hasn't seen Kelly around but did say that if she had been stolen from your area it would be unlikely for her to have "travelled" this far. He has my fone number. Hope the info I emailed to you today may prove of some use through your local police.

That would be great tx...please call number on finders details...

2013-02-15 10:45 SandyW

If someone needs to visit the found girl 48778 for a photo, I'm at a dog show 5 minutes away from location all day tomorrow.. pls let me know if I can help.

2013-02-15 09:56 LennyBoy

Hi, have you checked 48778 female shepherd found 13th Feb? Wrong area I know but as Kelly was stolen you never know where they will turn up. There is no photo yet. Gd Luck

2013-02-14 19:51 ClaireC

Redfred send me your email address (via Mobile fone)so I can email the other bit of info I text you about today. That would also be good to follow up with your local police.

hi claire well done i will contact my contact at the police as he looks at this page and get him to follow up and try and get her and some press about other dogs too, cheers

2013-02-14 18:25 mathers22

That would be brilliant if she could get on Crimewatch. Fingers xx

2013-02-14 16:32 ClaireC

Hi Redfredd. I had a response (see below) from Crimewatch folks having written to them. This may be worth contacting your local police area to see if they would be prepared to put your stolen Kelly onto the programme as I recall you saying that 7 or 9 dogs had been stolen from your area at the same time although most have now been reunited with their owners through police intervention. I am wondering that this could perhaps also include various constabularies for the stolen spaniels ie Hampshire. Could be worth discussing with CJ Police Coord-Admin.

Crimewatch response:
Thank you for your email. Your feedback is important to us.

We have passed this email on to our editorial team, however, Crimewatch can only accept cases at the request of the relevant police force. This is to maximise the resources we can bring to each case. We suggest that you either contact your local police (via www.police.uk or by phoning 101). You can also contact crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.

If the officer in charge of an investigation thinks that an appeal on Crimewatch will assist with the case, please ask them to contact us in the office via the BBC switchboard.


Regards,
The Crimewatch Team

Hi all, Hev106 she was seen outside the jobcentre/vets in Dover on Thursday 31st January in the afternoon(maybe signing on??) with a man(40's) and lady(with blonde ponytail) i have informed the local dover vets, and the local dog warden, so any help you can offer in the dover area then great news, thanks in advance

2013-02-11 18:08 Jill Murfin

I've sent this letter to Alan Titchmarsh; not sure if it will do any good but worth a try ! if this is too long for a comment on here Admin please remove for me thank you !

"As the owner of 5 German Shepherd Dogs at the moment, I watched with great interest your feature about stolen dogs. I am very fortunate not to be in the position as the people whose stolen dogs you mentioned at the end of your show. I am however involved via the internet with the search for 3 German Shepherd Dogs and one stolen horse at the moment. I am a member of the wonderful website DogLost and despair at the number of dogs being added daily to the “red” area signifying a missing /lost / stolen dog. Logically thinking these dogs are in some way the lucky ones whose owners are aware of the website and who have internet access themselves or via a family member or friend who can help them to publicize their missing dog.

It is heartbreaking to read so many heart breaking stories about their beloved family pets going missing or being stolen. You specifically featured Angel to illustrate the crime of dog theft presumably because her owner has offered such a massive reward for her safe return; there are many other dogs owners in similar positions who are also offering massive rewards and in some cases life savings in order to be reunited with their family pet. By placing an emphasis on the reward element of dog theft it seems that this is almost promoting the crime as a simple way to make a fast profit – even encouraging the would be thieves to steal a dog; keep the dog well hidden until the reward is offered then miraculously make contact with the distraught owner telling them some sort of story about finding the dog then claiming the reward. A very simple way to make a sum of money for little effort whilst causing so much emotional pain for the bereft owner who would clearly do anything to get their beloved dog back.

There are organized gangs entering properties and stealing dogs from homes and kennels – many are just much loved family pets; some are working dogs whilst others are show dogs – all priceless to the family who own them and love them as a four legged member of their family unit. This is the human side of the theft; this isn’t taking into consideration the psychological effect on the dog they are stealing. Some of these missing dogs are even being snatched whilst out being exercised with their unsuspecting owners. This shows such unbelievable audacity and daring on the part of the dog thieves.

For some time the Police seemed disinterested in dog theft but it is heartening to learn that Kent Constabulary are taking these thefts seriously and have assigned an officer to work on behalf of the owners to try and collate all the information being offered with regard to these crimes.

The most important thing when a dog is stolen is to get as much publicity as possible and basically make the dog “too hot to handle” making it almost impossible for the thieve to do anything more than return the dog to the owner either directly or by handing the dog to a vet or rescue centre for them to trace the owners.

The campaign by Bruce Forsyth for compulsory micro chipping of all dogs which has now been taken seriously and will eventually become law is something of a starting point BUT if dog owners fail to update the chipping companies’ data base as and when a change of address or owner ship occurs this will not be a fail pr

2013-02-11 17:30 Little Pooch Dog Boutiquecavalierandlhasamummy

I have shared Kelly's details on my facebook and twitter, really hope she is home safe and sound soon xx

2013-02-11 14:16 Jill Murfin

Maison Dieu vets at Dover is where there was a possible sighting on 31/01/2013 - - - the vets i believe were contacted and didnt have a dog as a patient that day fitting Kelly's description. I think the vets were intending to pass on Kelly's details within their area aswell.............. not sure this helps Hev106 ; but i am sure redfred4444 would be very grateful for and help you could enlist within the area! Could you possibly make them aware of Kelly' facebook page aswell please................ https://www.facebook.com/groups/409435129147484/#!/groups/409435129147484/
Kelly's owners flyer is on the FB page aswell as the link to this doglost page.

2013-02-11 11:23 Hev106

Redfred444 - what parts of Dover have you covered? as I too live there and know the local warden and kennels where any dogs picked up are taken, have not seen any sight of her and pass the area where it was believed she was seen daily two or three times a day, my daughter is also going to take down some posters as she too walks this area of Dover to and from work xx

2013-02-11 09:33 AnnieSparky

redfred4444......Concon18 is the contact (friend of owner) for missing yorkie Arnie ID 48507...see page.
Just incase you need to contact each other.
Hope Kelly (and Arnie) are found soon x

2013-02-11 08:01 redfred4444

Morning all CONCON 18 where was this possible sighting please ? she was stolen from Iwade near Sittingbourne,

2013-02-10 23:43 ClaireC

Have sent owner a message to loook at latest post from concon18.

2013-02-10 22:37 mathers22

Have put her on Second Chance GSD Rescue and also GS Owners xx

2013-02-10 18:49 Jill Murfin

Kelly went missing from the ME9 area; there are more specific details above on her doglost information sheet.

Your question isnt silly as anything may be the piece of information her owner redfred4444 needs to find Kelly; i am certain her owner will be about later and reply to you in full.............if you are able could you look at Kelly' facebook page aswell and add a comment for us there please ???

Kelly's facebook page is here https://www.facebook.com/groups/409435129147484/

Hope this helps a little til redfred4444 is about later.................

2013-02-10 18:40 concon18

this may be a silly question and i could be very wrong as like people have said alot dogs look the same i see a dog very simular to this yesterday but im not 100 % sure if its samer dog as i had my mind on looking for another friends dog that went missing and it came across two dogs one looking like this and a jack russell coming out a travelers site no lead the dog that looked like this one seemed like it was ok with roads didnt run into road anyways got close to the back of my car i didnt get out as the jack russel looked very unpredictable and kept barking at me in the car but the big dog looked like it wanted to come over but followed the jack russel like i say im not 100%sure it looked similar. where abouts did she go missing from please xxx

i have made it open to the public and will link to some other facebook groups later. Please join the group and share as and where possible

will email you in a while redfred4444

2013-02-10 14:19 ClaireC

Hi everyone reading Kellys page would you print a copy of kelly and take or email to your local vet just in case she is found and taken to a vet for scanning or treatment. I am guessing by my request to you all we stand a greater chance of seeing her reunited. Thank you everyone for your hrlp

2013-02-10 13:06 redfred4444

thanks everyone i will email admin to see i i can get her bumped up to page 1 as its 2 weeks today, - fingers crossed

2013-02-10 11:01 mathers22

I keep coming here for news on Kelly - she's so like mine who will be 11 next month. Good luck will share her facebook page when it's up and running. Good luck xx

2013-02-09 22:09 DogLostJulie - Area Co-ordinator - Surrey & South London

Well done Jill will look forward to seeing Kelly's facebook page - I keep checking back on here hoping and praying for some good news. Yes she has a beautiful face I totally agree. Quite a distinctive looking GSD too - let's hope the facebook page does the trick and brings her back home where she belongs. Julie x

2013-02-09 21:32 ClaireC

Not sure what i did there i think i put myself into moderation! However i know what you mean
i think kelly should be bumped up along with the other stolen springers to keep her in the public eye. Reddfred no harm in asking admin if they can do.

2013-02-09 21:27 ClaireC

Comment awaiting moderation

2013-02-09 20:56 Jill Murfin

It's her little face Claire that "got" me and the fact that she is 10 and has been stolen.............here's hoping with a FB page and some extra publicity she will be located very soon.

i am searching for local tv/radio/newspaper titles and addresses to get a letter together to send to them to ask for help aswell................. will up date as and when i have these ready to post aswell. My little mission at the moment to try and help to find her along with the other GSD's i've been trying to help aswell - just cant believe how many are going missing when so many are in rescue wanting homes - doesnt make any sense to me at all.

2013-02-09 20:34 Jill Murfin

I've added Kelly onto Alfie's Lost Dogs and the link is here

Very good Jill and this girl has struck quite a chord with me also

2013-02-09 19:56 Jill Murfin

have communicated with Kelly's owner this evening and he will come back to me tomorrow with the details for her facebook page which will be set up tomorrow.

I will convert her flyer to a PDF file for the group as well as adding some pics hopefully and a link to here............

so hope this will help find her and get this lovely old lass home.

2013-02-09 19:14 ClaireC

I sent you a text. Just let me you recvd on here
If anyone is still wanting to help get kelly back is there anybody near the address that can help poster eg bus shelters and vets? If so can you let owner know on here. Lets all try to make her too hot to handle please

2013-02-09 18:18 Jill Murfin

have sent you a text redfred4444 with my hotmail address; once i hear from you i'll get on with Kelly's facebook page for you !

2013-02-09 15:39 jo

2013-02-09 11:56 Jill Murfin

Will text later redfred4444 and wait for your reply with your email address then i will email for some info to use on Kelly's facebook page and i will create it later this evening for you and her of course. Stay safe lovely lass we are coming to find you sweetheart xx

2013-02-09 10:00 redfred4444

Hi Jill yes please go ahead if ok with you with the the facebook, you can text me you email and i will reply with mine, i have done some newsagents and vets and even a dog groomers locally, cheers redfred

2013-02-08 18:35 ClaireC

Hi other good places to make aware are vet practices.pet shops.dog grooming parlours. If you get onto local radio and give story then ask if this page can be bumped.

2013-02-08 16:50 Jill Murfin

i would love to volunteer to make Kelly's facebook page - would you like me to text my email address to you to commmunicate with you before i set it up ??? It wont be tonight but i will get onto it tomorrow evening i promise if you want me to . . . . lots of pages for the same dog wouldnt be good but i am happy to do this small thing for you if it helps and if you want me to ??

flyers put under windscreen wipers in supermarket car parks in the specific areas are good but time consuming cos there is a constant turn over of locals which may help you and of course local pet shops ;)

am about now so will keep checking back if you want me to do the Facebook page..............hope i dont sound too pushy wasnt meant that way .

2013-02-08 16:10 ClaireC

Hi post offices and newsagents are good bus shelters dont forget to take drawing pins are all good places to poster.

2013-02-08 15:42 redfred4444

Hi All, I am really happy for kelly to have a facebook page but to be honest I am not a user of facebook so (if you do not mind) can someone else set up? taking to dog warden in dover today and put more posters up in area's waiting to see if cctv can be gained from a possible hot spot, its will be 2 weeks this sunday since she was taken so am really hoping someone somewhere spots her or can help

2013-02-08 10:17 ClaireC

All good xx

2013-02-08 09:59 Jill Murfin

Yes the lady was called Jayne on Alan Titchmarsh.............. refred4444 if you want me to set up a page for Kelly on facebook this weekend i am more than willing to do just that and can take the details from this page/poster then link to here and add the link to the other pages on which i posted her info last week. If you wnat me to do this please just give me the go ahead and i will do over the weekend - - are you on facebook ??? if so i will add you as admin on her group .

redfred4444 if you want more info on me i'll text you my email address - - - -i have 5 GSDs at the moment and just want to help if i can. oh and i have enhanced CRB clearance for my job .

as for getting her info to the delivery people in area it may be better being done by someone local who could actually take flyers round to the depots / shops / etc oh and why not poster the petrol stations in the area aswell ...........be back on here later!

2013-02-08 09:54 ClaireC

Think you mean jayne founder of doglost.

2013-02-08 09:51 ClaireC

Hi jill kelly can only but benefit from her own page excellent idea
Speak to owner he wont mind i know and may have other info in relation to area not on this site! Local press post office all good thoughts. Sorry i cant assist in any processes at present. Good luck.xx

2013-02-08 09:29 mathers22

I think it would help if Kelly had a facebook page too xx

2013-02-08 08:39 Jill Murfin

I dont know the area from where Kelly was taken and im up near Blackpool however . . . . what about getting local radio stations to give out her details and her story as to how she was stolen etc etc ??

How about contacting the local press to run her story and maybe also in Dover if the sighting has been confirmed as a real possibility that the dog was Kelly??

How about the lady who was on Alan Titchmarsh the other day representing DogLost [ my apologies as i cannot recall her full name - sorry ] would she be able to ask for his show to put out a special story / appeal for Kelly - - - maybe to remind people of this site and how easy it is to have a dog stolen etc etc and use Kelly as a prime example of an older dog being taken ???

I would be pleased to help by writing to local newpaper editors to ask if they will run the story but I will need to research the area and find out names of papers and editors etc first . . . .

if you think this may help please let me know but time is of the essence isnt it ??? I can get onto this over the weekend if it helps Kelly's owners ???

Claire I shall ponder some more as the day goes on and if i think of anything else come back to you later............. if there is an area in which it is thought Kelly is being kept how about asking the local postmen / paper deliver people and the like to have her picture with them to see if they think they spot her - - - and even local taxi firms or the special constables who walk the areas ??? Im too far away to put this in place to help but maybe Kelly's owners or someone closer to the areas can help??

and i do think she would benefit from her own Facebook page and i would be willing to set that up if her owners wanted it but need to use the photos and info from this page to set it up then link it to the groups she is on already as a reminder and new thing to share for her details ....................

2013-02-07 23:57 ClaireC

You and me both. I have advised to look on gumtree. Also maybe alan titch will do some more in his programs soon.it has been asked of itv. Jill can you think of other avenues? I am away at the moment back in uk next wed.

2013-02-07 22:47 Jill Murfin

Kelly is constantly in my mind; i keep wondering if there is any progress or news as to her whereabouts - - so wish Alan Titchmarsh had mentioned her along with lots Have you made progress with the white van - - - i am thinking it may be better not to post on here but cannot help but wonder; i just want to see this lovely old lass back home where she belongs. Stay safe Kelly hoping it is only a matter of time before you are found and home sweetheart xx

2013-02-07 18:32 mathers22

If you could get past Paul's PA you would stand a better chance. Their PA's tend to keep things from them I think I remember seeing this somewhere about Paul. It always helps if you want something to reach a person and for him to read it himself it is better to put "Personal" because it will only be opened by Paul then. Having said that you would need his address not his e-mail address xx

It was at the top of Church Road, there is a stone bench on the corner. There is a tyre place just round the corner and a pub opposite
This was yesterday at about 3.50pm
The white transit can was also parked at the very top of church road

2013-02-04 20:14 Jill Murfin

I have added Kelly onto the Lets Stop Dog Thieves facebook group

I will write to Bruce Forsyth - i spoke with his PA some time ago about my friends stolen horse and Teddy the missing GSD; all these recent thefts and his micro chipping campaign might just catch his interest even when he comes home from his hols - - we can hope cant we??

I also wrote to Paul O'Grady and had a reply from his PA saying as he no longer does his TV chat show there was little he could do at the time to help us with publicity again it might be worth another letter and plea about all these dogs being stolen eh ?? i think so - - - - -i shall get onto this right away! and let you know when i have posted out !!!

2013-02-04 19:31 ClaireC

Jill I think its a wonderful idea. Go for it girl nothing to lose but a heck of a lot to gain if he helps. Just be aware that he normally goes off to Barbados (I think) at this time of year and who can blame him!

2013-02-04 19:04 redfred4444

Thanks Rwoody, where was this in eastchurch - road etc? and what day? I know a few people on the island and they can watch out too in areas etc.

Thanks Claire and Jill, hopefully all this action will assist in the return of Kelly and others I hope

2013-02-04 19:00 Jill Murfin

Just had a thought..................i was wondering if trying to enlist the help of Bruce Forsyth with the campaign for more awareness of lost dogs would be of use ??? He is after all on the micro chipping campaign big style after his own small dog was stolen and he has a GSD now aswell..............just an idea ???? i do have some contact details but wont obviously post on a public forum but i am willing to write if anyone thinks it may be worth another try??

Ok, I'll give this info through the link you posted.
Whether the van was connected, I don't know, but he was sat on a bench beside it. A big white transit van. The other dogs were definitely springer spaniels. A pure red one with a white chest and a black & white one.
This was at approx 3.15pm yest.

I just want to see justice done to get these scumbags off the streets and now on a mission! I hope that others will do exactly the same as both Jill and I and try to put a lot more "clout" to get these programs to "air" these stories.

2013-02-04 15:20 ClaireC

And also Countryfile

Dear Sir/Madam, would you please consider running the story of dog theft in the UK? There are organised gangs entering into/onto property stealing their much loved family pets or working dogs. Some have been reported as being snatched from them whilst out walking. If you look at the www.Doglost.co.uk site for missing pets you will see countless heartbreaking and gut-wrenching stories. Jayne founder of Doglost or Nik PR would be able to advise further. For example in Hampshire there are numerous thefts of Springer & Cocker Spaniels. Look at the story of Kelly Dog Id 47929 and of course there are countless others in the same situation. Will you please please put this on air. I'm sure there are numerous police forces (Kent springs to mind)who will support such an action from Countryfile.

On behalf of countless owners of stolen dogs throughout the UK by organised crime gangs thank you for your time and hope that you will be able to assist.

and of course there are countless others in the same situation. Will you please please put this on air. I'm sure there are numerous police forces (Kent springs to mind)who will support such an action from Crimewatch. On behalf of countless owners of stolen dogs throughout the UK by organised crime gangs thank you for your time and hope that you will be able to assist.

I hope that someone, somewhere agrees this is a good idea to share.

Below is a copy of what I put on Angel's site yesterday to the Daily Mail. I am hoping that this newspaper will respond.

"What an awful headline. This lady has had her beloved pet stolen and because she is offering such a high reward and obviously wanting to do more to get her back, you call her Britains Craziest Doglover! What would be really helpful, is to go onto the Doglost site and look at the heartbreaking stories of real people who have either had their family pets stolen through heartless scumbags out to make a quick buck or who have lost them. Would your paper consider doing a story on all the stolen ones and perhaps putting up also a substantial reward? I look forward to reading this new story line in your paper!"

2013-02-04 14:19 Jill Murfin

Since May 2011 i have written on a few occasions to Crimewatch and Countryfile to ask if they would consider the topic of animal theft in general and have given specific examples of dogs [ GSD's ] and a specific horse to use to illustrate dog and horse theft; once i received and acknowledgement and nothing more. Crimewatch contacted my friend whose horse was stolen then they gave up on the story for some reason unknown to her................ hope this helps a little but think it is imperative that media publicity is brought into assist in these dog theft cases as it seems to be rife throughout the country at the moment. Useless comment really . . . .but wanted to add what i've tried to do, needs more and more to ask for these programmes to help i think.

Will copy the white van details from your post Claire and add them to the FB groups a little later today hopefully.

So want to see Kelly move from the red to the blue on here :) Positive thoughts for Kelly and her owners from me and my GSD crew x

2013-02-04 13:06 redfred4444

Hi Jill and Clare great work, thanks once again,

2013-02-04 11:09 ClaireC

We have this white van going around as well. This came from Dogwatch Alerts:

White Transit Again

The white Ford Transit van HG11 UWA that was seen on 31 January in Ibstone and Great Milton (Dogwatch 882) called at a farm in Cuxham near Watlington and was also seen in Piddington, near High Wycombe on the same day, offering chainsaws and tools for sale.

2013-02-04 10:56 ClaireC

Hi Jill, Martin Clunes, Matt Baker (The One Show)/Countryfile are all possibles for mentioning these stolen dogs on their shows if you have or are able to get contact details of. NIK PR Doglost might also be able to make enquiries. I would have thought that something like dognapping would also be a good one for Crimewatch. What does anyone think?

2013-02-04 09:04 Jill Murfin

I emailed the Alan Titchmarsh Show https://www.facebook.com/TitchmarshShow/posts/375204415910736

they are asking for details of anyone affected by dognapping . . . . . i have sent the link to Kelly's Doglost page and suggested that your contact details are all available via the page, not sure if she will be mentioned but I emailed about 3 GSD's in the hope that they may give them a mention; the show is on Tuesday 3pm ITV and i have also mentioned Kelly on the facebook wall for the show with a link to here for you; apologies if I have duplicated something someone else has done. Here's hoping she gets a mention and it helps spread the word for you.

2013-02-03 23:06 redfred4444

Hi RWoody, your information is strong I believe- thank you, The police are very keen to trace a white van and I believe a springer/gun dog was taken from Iwade last week(so a friend said this evening), so this could be a good lead. See this link for the statement from police : http://www.facebook.com/groups/officialdoglostkentarea/permalink/329781813790307/ maybe you could be kind to drop this info to nik oakley or call 101 and ask for PC Weedon (Force Number 13087) as The police have had so many thefts that they have assigned a PC to all of them, The police have said" ‘We would like anybody who may have witnessed any of these thefts, seen this white van or who have any information at all to come forward and let us know, as even the smallest bit of information could help.

Your information Rwoody maybe valuable or not but we will only know if we share. Thanks Rwoody for your input I personally am very grateful for this small piece of info that may or may not go somewhere. There is a chance that someone would have cut her hair so do not be put off by that. Your possible sighting is in a close area and white van and you thought it looked like her so 3 good points

Hope is all I have in finding her. Thanks again,

2013-02-03 22:07 DogLostJulie - Area Co-ordinator - Surrey & South London

RWoody never feel silly it is important that we all keep our eyes out for Kelly and I feel it is important to post if you see anything that is suspicious - if it is an innocent person they would not mind being asked I wouldn't have thought. We are are praying that Kelly is soon home where she belongs. Julie x

2013-02-03 19:00 RWoody

Hi redfred444
Sorry I deleted my comments as felt a bit silly. As Claire Weston turville said...I didn't see the dogs eye, so maybe I just jumped to conclusions. There's probably plenty of similar looking dogs around and there was no real connection.
Basically I was driving in Eastchurch, Isle of Sheppey and I'd stopped to turn and saw a man sitting with 3 large dogs . I'd seen a pic of your list dog on facebook. And one of the dogs looked just like him/her only with shorter coat (like it'd been clipped) same mottled brown/black face.. The photo just jumped into my mind. Also I thought it odd that he had 3 big dogs on his own he also had two Springer Spaniels. And he was sat beside a white van.
Anyway, sorry I deleted my comments as in hindsight and after Claire's reply.. It may well have been an innocent man with his dogs

2013-02-03 18:42 redfred4444

Hi everyone, disappointed the FB link for iwade has been removed, - not sure why? but anyway has there been some info ..Rwoody ? can you help me ? Thanks Again everyone for you continued and growing support, cant be long before I get some good news..........please x

RWoody I am a little puzzled, how did you make the connection? did you see the dog's eye for instance? Just thinking in terms of the dog being clipped and why you still think there is a connection!

Glad to hear the Police are helping in this search; I added Kelly into some Facebook groups in and around Dover last night which got some favourable responses of help in looking out for her and the doglost lady from the area is now onto this aswell ;)

So hope Kelly is home with you very soon. Is Kelly going to have a facebook page ??? Is anyone setting one up for her or does someone need to do this for her ??? Would help spread the word alongside the other FB groups ........just a thought!

Thanks Everyone for your support, the Police are following up the Dover lead and are searching cars/ vans for dogs, I even got stopped the other night and searched - which I was happy to help, the police are putting some hours into stolen dogs due to the high numbers that are being stolen.

2013-02-02 14:51 mathers22

Kent police excellent working so hard to find these stolen dogs and four recovered just brilliant. Really hope Kelly is next to be found - everything crossed for her. Julie x

2013-02-01 10:10 Unknown

Kent [police have issued a statement this morning announcing the arrest of a man in connection with dog theft in the area. Although four dogs have been recovered, Kelly was not amongst them. The police are continuing their enquiries. The full statement can be read here: http://www.facebook.com/groups/officialdoglostkentarea/?ref=ts&fref=ts

2013-02-01 09:59 redfred4444

she is not used to a lead as an farm dog , so may look uncomfortable on one, no collar on when she was stolen either

Feedback from Dover Maison Deiu Vets: "I have spoken with my colleagues and no dogs in yesterday fitting Kelly’s description. I have informed all our branches should anyone bring a dog fitting Kelly’s description in to let me know. I’m sorry I could n’t have been more help" maybe is is her and they walked past the vets - if so you may be in area of CT16 1RE , thanks again everyone

2013-02-01 09:35 redfred4444

Hi I have spoken to the lady(thanks again everyone) who thinks she saw her yesterday in Dover near a vets and I have called the vets as she was seen near the maison dieu vets at dover, the vets are looking into it but did not have her booked in, they have said that the job centre is next door and a lot of people park in there car park and walk in the job centre so maynot have gone in. They are checking records and speaking to staff and coming back to me, real soon hopefully. The dog looked very uncomfortable with the couple who are in there 40's man and lady(blond hair pony tail) both wearing jeans and coats. thanks karen for the lead, heres hoping it comes to something , fingers Big Crossed

2013-01-31 15:19 ClaireC

Kelly seems to have a lot more longish fur around her face than the other dog I think.

2013-01-31 11:07 Jemness

unless her ears have been cleaned up deff looks different

2013-01-31 10:50 sukimax

Shame the sighting wasn't Kelly but at least the other lady got her dog back. As we speak my kind friend Jill is sharing on facebook groups far and wide and all over the country just in case someone spots her. I am praying for Kelly's return she looks such a gorgeous kind soul. Julie x

2013-01-30 21:07 mathers22

I can think of something better than their fingers to chop off !!

2013-01-30 20:44 Unknown

MAKE KELLY "TOO HOT TO HANDLE", if she has been stolen, then please return her to he rightful owners asap. Praying, and hoping Kelly will be back with her owners soon. Will light a candle for her. Paws, and fingers xd. Some individuals should have THEIR fingers chopped off. Grrr... Come Kelly let yourself be seen.

2013-01-30 19:41 GiantSchnauzerLover007

I am pretty sure you will find your beloved pet soon, lets just all pray that she is safe,warm and fed.

2013-01-30 19:32 redfred4444

Hi everyone, spent the evening last night at Shorne DA12 and unfortunately (for me) a lady lost a similar dog so hence the sighting. But hey she has got her dog back, so maybe i am next. Thank for the sighting though as keen to follow up. So this area is not a hot spot currently, it now has posters and have doors knocked, I must say the people round there are lovely and it is really nice little village who love dogs. Thanks in advance everyone - The Hunt Continues..... for Kelly

2013-01-30 14:10 teresa46

We'll be over that way on Saturday so we'll keep a good eye out for her

2013-01-29 21:34 DogLostJulie - Area Co-ordinator - Surrey & South London

Redfred I was wondering have you considered starting a facebook page for Kelly so we can get her shared with even more people, just a thought but a good idea I would think the more people that know she is missing/stolen the better. Julie x

2013-01-29 19:43 redfred4444

Thanks julie keeping strong minded that we get her back

2013-01-29 19:39 DogLostJulie - Area Co-ordinator - Surrey & South London

Well done redfred4444 on your efforts and great there has been a possible sighting I am so hoping she will soon be found and back with you. It is great news that the police are keen to help as well - I think the Kent police have been really great with stolen dogs in the past. With all good luck and best wishes. Julie x

2013-01-29 16:02 redfred4444

POSSIBLE SIGHTING AT 10.30AM TODAY AT SHORNE RIDGEWAY POST CODE DA12. I'm off to that area now, she was seen near small football ground on shorne ridgeway running through gardens. Near Shorne Country Park. Any more info please call me

hi julie, distributed leaflets and putting up posters, thanks I will keep an eye on the 2 sites you mention. I am working with the media and police as this area has been hit hard recently with stolen dogs so they are very keen to respond, keeping my fingers x'ed but no sightings reported as of yet, but confident we will get her back I am not giving in and with everyones continued help on this site we stand a good chance.

2013-01-28 23:13 DogLostJulie - Area Co-ordinator - Surrey & South London

Praying Kelly is soon back home with you. Did you notice anybody watching your property or you in the days leading up to Kelly being taken or maybe when you were out walking with Kelly ? Any strange vehicles around that seemed to be hanging about ? Try and ask you neighbours also if they noticed anything - she has such a lovely face it is truely heartbreaking that she has been stolen. Also please try and watch the free ads on gumtree, preloved etc. just in case the thieves try to sell her on. Julie x

2013-01-28 19:05 redfred4444

Thanks Again Everyone, still no news of sightings etc hits up to 5k now so surely someone will see / hear something soon, - im praying for her safe return and happy to pay reward for return, here's hoping!

2013-01-28 13:56 KOLESY

Have shared & really hope shes home with you real soon. To many dogs being stolen.

2013-01-28 13:42 teresa46

Is it worth contacting Meridian TV or South East news to see if they'll do a feature on Kelly? Hope you get your girl back soon

2013-01-28 10:57 gsdjj

Shared, hope she cmes back soon. Why on earth take her, I ask myself???? Thats just plain cruelty taking a dog, let alone such an oldie?

What a rotten thing to do - hope you soon have her back home. Shared on facebook and GSD group.

2013-01-27 21:32 redfred4444
