- Dogs can be legally REHOMED after 7 days. If an owner comes forward after that time it is up to the new owner to give them up which is not always the case as they have become attached to them. PLEASE PLEASE get your dogs MICROCHIPPED a.s.a.p. and keep the details UP TO DATE. By LAW dogs should have a collar on with ID. x

- BLUE has gone HOME with his very happy family.
Met family at the kennels and after spending time with him they have said it is BLUE. He has grown and his brindle colouring shows more which family members where not convinced it was him. The RSPCA staff were great and we all went to part of the kennels for them to spend time with him. Due to his age when he went missing he has bound to have grown and colouring can change. Everything matches to the area he was picked up and his breeding. His ears are very distinctive. The more time the family had with him the more they said it was BLUE. It was great to see the family together and get that most important REUNITED photo, took a couple and have used one when they first met him and a group pic.
Great to be moving him into the BLUE. He is now MICRCOCHIPPED and have discussed getting him NEUTERED a.s.a.p.
WELCOME HOME Blue.
This proves the IMPORTANCE of visiting kennels in person at least once a week and not relying on photo/s and phonecalls.
Many thanks to DogLost Volunteer AnnieSparky for your help and support. :)x - 2013-04-27 15:18 mathers22

- Keeping everything crossed! ;-) x

- Owners have been told they will hold him until the weekend. They were phoning again today to make sure and Majorjet has linked Blues DogLost page to RSPCA page.
- 2013-04-23 20:09 Mishybird
- Yes, same question, will the RSPCA hold the dog for the owners?
- 2013-04-23 19:12 Lady 0wl
- Will Halewood RSPCA keep hold of him until they can get there?
- 2013-04-23 18:38 AnnieSparky
- Blues family are in touch with Halewood RSPCA but may not be able to get there until the weekend due to full time work commitments. Fingers crossed all will be ok xx
- 2013-04-23 18:14 Claire Gresty - Area Co-ordinator & Police Liaison - North West
- Any news on whether this dog was Blue? Keep everything crossed for good news :-) x
- 2013-04-23 11:36 B30

- 2013-04-22 23:31 AnnieSparky
- Blues family will let us know asap when they have been to see this very promising match :)

Family have seen a possible match for Blue up for REHOMING in Liverpool RSPCA (Halewood), details on the website (link above).
It sure does look like Blue and family have confirmed he has white on his chest which you cannot see in the DogLost photo. Keeping everything crossed all goes well and it is blue. He has got a RESERVE on him. I've left a message on the RSPCA page and the link to Blue's DL page. Family have also been in touch with the RSPCA and will be going in a.s.a.p. but due to work commitments may not be able to get there until the weekend.
I will try and speak to the RSPCA myself.
Well done AnnieSparky for the support you have been giving family and for the alert earlier tonight. :)x - 2013-04-14 16:21 AnnieSparky

Any help sharing/searching/posters much appreciated by Blues owners xx - 2013-04-09 21:30 Titania
- Hi, a dog that looks similar has been offered to me for sale.
Would you be able to confirm roughly how tall he is at the shoulder, & if he has white toes, dappled neck flash, has been dewclawed and is under a year old? There's every chance it's not the same dog, but I'd like to rule that out. - 2013-04-07 17:19 Witchy-poos
- Hiya, any sighthound cross is a lurcher so Staff x Whippet makes him a Lurcher a lot of people would class him as a lurcher or 'lurcher type' if they found him - he is a bull lurcher with him being a bull cross. Some people may not immediately think of him as a Staff cross with him having a lot of the Whippet looks too, just trying to help you cover all bases. Pounds etc are notoriously bad at describing dogs so I would defo mention that he's a lurcher and tell them bull whippet cross. I hope he's home soon.xx

- Thanks for posting Amy :) You are doing so well....Is the Facebook page your own or have you made a Facebook page just for Blue? Some people do when their dogs get lost eg "Help Find Blue"
Meant to ask you about farms, stables in the area? He may go to them and would be worth taking posters. I emailed one to Abbey Farm caravan Site which isnt that far away.
Good idea about the papers from J MO....think you can send in story online....

- Hi Amy, West Lancs Council have a great Dog Warden who will help you. Have you contacted Ormskirk Advertiser? They have been good in the past at putting missing dogs in the Ormskirk area in. Hope there is news soon x
- 2013-04-03 16:43 Amy
- hi, i am the owner and blue is still missing... we do have a better picture of blue but only when he was tiny so dont know if that will be much help, he isnt a laurcher and is a cross between a staff and a whippet... we have contacted all the places we can think possible we have no dog warden in this area and contacted the police and wigan and leigh dog home and no luck at all rang all the vets in local areas we are currently puttin posters around to see if anyone has seen him in the area he was lost as it was open fields and people walking there dogs might of seen him about... if people could please post this on and i also have a facebook page which i have asked all my friends to share, we apreciate all the help people are doing for us... we wont give up we just want him safe and home with us xx

- ok with him not wearing a collar that rules out the dog I saw. I hope Blue gets found safe and sound soon x
- 2013-04-02 19:20 Witchy-poos
- Maybe a good idea to list him as a lurcher? Or at least put that in the description. Hope he's home soon. xx

They have been searching all around the area which is surrounded by fields.
The website for the golf club has directions for the area:
