Fern was reunited a year ago and continues to help other missing microchipped dogs and cats with the #FernsLaw petition to make it compulsory for vets, rescues and authorities to scan and check microchip ID on the original database at first treatment to reunite missing pets with their rightful families. Supported by DogsLost and many others.

This is the most wonderful news . I have followed Fern's story from the start , she is the image of my 7 year old Sprocket girl Jessie . The family never gave up looking , I'm so thrilled they have her back where she belongs .

Just wanted to know how Fern is getting along. I believe she was used for breeding. And now is not too ken on men. The vile thief just wanted to make a quick buck. Scumbag. One day you will get your comeuppance. I sincerely hope you never find peace. Last edited: 2019-07-24 15:26:35

Thanks Millys Mum. Jodie has definitely been busy again today as she, Ethan & Fern have been on BBC South, the national ITV News & an appearance on the Victoria Derbyshire prog thi morning telling their stort & continuing to stress the importance of microchipping & keeping the details updated.
A whole page article with lots of photos in the Daily Mail as well..
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-7213413/Delighted-boy-eight-reunited-familys-cocker-spaniel-Fern-six-years-pet-disappeared.html

BBC South .. just after the weather (approx 24.15 mins in)

Someone who's not been mentioned on here yet is PaulaK who has kept in very close contact with Jodie all these long years, supporting her & keeping her spirits up whilst Fern was away. It was PaulaK who set up the Find Fern page.. now Fern Found! So a massive thank you to her.
Another big thank you should go to the kind man who picked Fern up when he saw her roaming on the street & for being honest enough to take her into Twyford Vets who scanned her.. without him this reunion may not have happened. Thank you!

Fern’s reunited story is about to be covered on BBC1’s South East news. It’s possibly too late for DL peeps to watch this but obviously it can be viewed afterwards on BBC iPlayer.Last edited: 2019-07-05 18:56:19 by Millys Mum

What wonderful news has Made My Day xxxxxxxxxxx
Kinsally
This is absolutely wonderful news!!!!!
I saw a post on Instagram from pet theft UK about 4 long term missing dogs being found & I couldn’t believe my eyes seeing Fern there!!! I am so very happy for Jodie & her family & dear Fern at last back where she belongs ❤️ Sending lots of love & best wishes to you all & lots of hugs to dear sweet Fern ❤️ xxx
Clarkey - Area Co-ordinator, East Sussex
UPDATE fm Jodie on Fern Found page:
"Fern has been given the all clear from the vets. She has a flea and worm burden to deal with but nothing major.
I have done dozens of interviews today for papers, radio and Fern will appear on BBC South Today tomorrow. I just want to hide with my girl and cry but we have to push this microchipping message whilst we have the public interest ... Ferns Army have done an amazing job. What I would love is for every one to pick another lost or stolen dog and show that dog the dedication you showed me and my family. This is the end and the beginning all in one.
I promise to use Ferns notoriety to help the Vets get scanning campaign and to encourage EVERYONE to chip and update that chip religiously...just like I did"
So here are some of those articles as Jodie has indeed been very busy spreading the word about how important microchipping is and especially keeping the details up to date!
"Proof of the power of a microchip" Radio interviews done as well..

Simply overjoyed that u have got her back at last - the video had me crying - no words for the evil people who took her and made her have puppies and then just dumped her but at long last she is home where she belongs - I can stop looking for her - the update is amazing - u must all be worn out - have a fantastic life now all of u - thank god for the microchip and that amazing vets and guy who handed her in - there are kind people out there too ❤️❤️❤️ If everyone took photos of the mum when they went to buy a puppy and then checked against lost/stolen dogs maybe more could be saved too

NEVER GIVE UP - THIS JUST PROVES IT.THAT LOVELY WAGGY TAIL SAYS IT ALL.

Fabulous news. I am ecstatic for Fern`s family who must be in Seventh Heaven to have their girl back with them. Look forward to the full story of how she was found, and where she has been all this time. And of course a REUNITED photo. The power of the microchip! (The person who stole Fern has robbed Ferns family of over six years. They should lose six years of their life; in prison) However I`m sure Fern`s family will make up for that.

Just the most amazing happy ending...I have watched their reunion video over again...Fern's tail! So happy for family and Fern...one small act of kindness - thankyou that man...lovely vets and a fabulous family who never, ever gave up. If there's at least one reason for keeping up the microchip, this has to be it!
Hope Fern feels better in herself soon, and wish you many years of happiness with Fern back in the fold ❤ xxLast edited: 2019-07-04 12:07:24 by Carolynl

Jodie's update earlier on Fern's page:

Wow...what a night!
The call came in at 4:30 pm from the wonderful staff at Twyford Veterinary practice to say they had a dog found straying and her chip shows as being mine. As you can imagine my heart leapt and I needed to hear it several times! It was her!
I couldn't wait another second so as soon as the kids were ready and Tom was home we jumped in the car and drove to the ferry.
Still not really daring to believe we arrived in Reading at 8:50 pm.

The staff were incredible and stayed on late so we could come and get her tonight. I showed the lovely nurse Stephanie my documents, ID , Ferns chip certificate and crime number . I was so impressed how professional everyone was ensuring this girl was going home to her rightful owners.
Fern was showing a little bit of anxiety and fear towards male colleagues at the practice so I decided to approach her alone to start with....

From the second the door opened I knew it was her. I'm not sure she knew me but none the less she was happy to see anyone happy to see her!

She is smelly, scabby, itchy and clearly had pups but not in terrible general condition.

As I write we are sat on a ferry waiting to leave at 3am to get home on the beautiful Isle of Wight and start the first day of the rest of her life with us.

It's been an agonising, heart wrenching, sick making, sleepless night endusing ordeal for 2272 days. The few things I am thankful for is that I met Paula who has helped from the very first day. She's become like family to me and mine and I'll always be so grateful to her and she's definitely stuck with us now. I'm also so humbled by every single one of you who shared, sent love, messages, searched the net, phoned me and everything else. It's meant so much to know I wasn't alone in looking for her.

Lastly... The power of the microchip!
I religiously updated my details on that chip and checked several times a year it was up to date. If the wonderful person who found her and took her to Twyford only knew ( he will tomorrow when I ring him)..how that tiny act and tiny bit of technology have changed my life for the better.

Whoever had her fed her well and for that I am grateful...but she was never yours to keep and now she's home where she belongs.

So much to learn about her and a lot of adjusting to do but we will slowly make her feel like the queen she is!

This page will stay open with updates on how she is getting on.

Again, I'm forever in your debt. You've all kept me going.

Our Karma caught up with us today. It was a long time coming but boy am I relieved it found me.
BlackLab
So happy for them all, remember Fern being stolen, seeing all the posters and keeping an eye out locally, just can’t believe it’s been six years, but at least she’s back where she belongs now!
DogLostBeezle
I am thrilled for Fern and her lovely family. She has always been in the back of my mind for the last 6 years. I hope she settles well back into family life. I'm over the moon and just cant believe it.

Yes,thankyou Fern, for taking the time to update us
To even tell us that you were on your way to fetch her was SO heartwarming - 'we' often never get told how a Stolen/Missing Dog was Reunited. So, Thankyou xx
There will have been hundreds of Empty Tissue Boxes all over the Country & beyond, tonight
I do believe that Stolen Dogs are always Attempting to Escape their Captors, so Clever Girl Fern, for finding that Escape Route
Huge thankyous too, to the kind honest person who Found Her & took her to the Vet
Sleep Well 'Fern' xx Last edited: 2019-07-04 07:39:13

Thanks so much for taking the time to give us this update.
I'm sure, like everyone else, that you are totally overwhelmed at getting your miracle at last!
So very glad to hear that Fern seems to be well and I'm sure she will be even happier now that she is home. Yes, it will take time for her to settle down with you and I expect she will 'sleep for England' whilst making her recovery but she's back in the best place for her now.
Hope you manage to sleep well after all the excitement (probably with one eye open to make sure this is all real!!)
Welcome home Fern.

Hi all. A very quick update. I received THE call at 4:30 this afternoon that Fern had been found straying in Reading and taken to Twyford Veterinary practice. She was scanned and I was called.
I slung everyone in the car and we drove to the ferry. She's in good condition body wise. A bit smelly and scabby and has clearly had some pups.
She appears to be a happy girl and we are obviously over the moon and back again to have her home.
Thank you eternally to everyone who helped share her picture over the last 2272 days!

Lots of happy memories to make now. We will take it very slow as we don't know her history or how she will adapt to my home and my children. Signs so far are positive.

No, Clarkey, i cannot see the Reunited photo - i have logged out then back in .
Facebook have a lot to answer for - no photos loading on a day like today !
Was She Found straying in Reading then Scanned at Vets, or did a Vet finally decide it was 'best practice' to scan her ?
Did the Thieves use her for Breeding ? I sincerely Hope not
If 'new' owners are known, Do they remember the Sellers' names ?
Why ? did they not attempt to have her legally chipped ?
Sooo many questions !!
it will be interesting to know the details won't it ?.

Keep making Fern "TOO HOT TO HANDLE" Poster around the area, and post flyers through doors too. Ask around, especially those with children, as they may remember something when younger. Post in shops; post offices too. Hand out as many posters as you can; where, and when you can. Post a STOLEN DOG ad in a National newspaper too. Not too late. Paws xd.

Already checked that girl. The chip is registered to a breeder in Scotland who the kennels have been in contact with to try and find the registered owner as they never updated the details.

You never have to thank me Jodie. When Pup was first stolen you and Sam gave me so much help!! You especially helped re the 'sadness' her theft brought. We owe you my friend.

Twitter has (or it seems it has) stopped locking us now so we are going to go all out for the spaniels soon.....Before that I putting together something for Fernie. Maisie, Penny, Pup Ben and a few others lost far to long.... Its got stupid now with the amount taken.

Your girl is out there I am sure and if only they would just start scanning..... I know then we both have another battle as chips are not prof of ownership but at least we would know they are alive....

It is endless.. Pups 4th birthday has left me so broken again Been coating of late but will fight back for both our girls as folk forget the long term ones so fast (well in Cornwall most do anyway) I said before I would not wish this on my worst enemy......You certainly don't deserve it!!

Another hug and will go get Fernie shared and tweeted to with her new STOLEN one....Its only a word but for me it matters ;-) Pup is stolen & even if she was with the Queen of the UK I want her home lol xxx
Fern
Thank you Sarah, sending you a hug straight back. We are floating down this awful river together. You have done so much to get Ferns face known on social media and for that I can never thank you enough. It is all consuming.Even after 4 years the fight never wanes. There is never a reprieve, nor an end in sight. Only fate will decide if we deserve to be cut a break and until that time we can only do what we do and push, push and push some more for information. I with all my heart hope to see you and Pup reunited. We are all deserving of that phone call, but you more than most. xx
Seeks
Fern its good to see her listed as Stolen now here. I know its only a word but with Pup its one we use all the time....

I know that frustration my friend.... Shares/tweets etc happen for Pup to yet we still have nothing. You have tried so hard and I know youwill never stop either. We there with you shoulder yo shoulder for as long as it takes.

Will go reshare with her new poster, tweet her again and just sending you a hug as I know how hard it all is xxx

Thanks for changing her status for me.
Some of my Find Fern £2000 Reward Facebook page posts alone get in excess of half a million shares in one hit so I'd like to think over the 4 years she'said even seen by a a couple of million people.it's all positive exposure but it's not enough which is frustrating. Loads more work to do from my end to get he seen even more.
I appreciate every single share, link and possibility to check.
Who knows if we will find her, but it won't be lack of effort if we don't!
DogLostJayne - Founder Doglost.
Fern's owner...we did not have that facility when you registered..only recently added....we are trying constantly to improve and help dogs get home....every donation that comes in we use to the best use....Am amazed at 1.5 thousand shares....every share from doglost to FB you can times by 300! as most people have on average 300 friends...and then onward shares! so thats 450,000 people aware...and as we only introduced the share show last year...probably far far more as Fern has been on site for 4 years! You may also see another improvement introduced recently...you now get an email alert to new messages on Ferns page.

I hope Fern`s microchip will works it` magic, so she can be back where she belongs. Still keep making Fern "TOO HOT TO HANDLE" Paws, and fingers xd..

4 years on and still no sign of Fern yet someone, somewhere knows where this girlie is.
If the person who has Fern is reading this then I'll remind you there is a huge reward for her safe return. Just get in touch with her owner or call Doglost in total confidence.

If anyone can help with TWITTER this evening Fern asks you to follow: @findfernwithme and TWEET FOR FERN tonight at 8pm. Thanks.

It's been said before and will be said again, Fern's mum will NEVER, EVER give up. Neither will all the lovely people who are still helping and supporting her.

Clarket. All these thieves think about pet owners feelings They are heartless, uncaring, undesirables. When dog thieves are caught, threy should make an example of one. And not just a slap on the wrist. Let`s try to get Fern home for Christmas. Other missing furbabies too. Many paws xd.

Such a shame that dog thieves can cause so much hurt and sadness.
No Ethan, Santa will not be taking your new dog away from you. I'm sure I speak for all of us when I say that we all hope that you will get the miracle that you are still wishing for. I know you will never give up looking for Fern and I know we will always be here to support you and your family.

"A note to the person who stole Fern.
It may have been nearly 4 years ago, you may think we will forget, move on, give up.
Let me tell you this.... whilst I have breath in my body, I will never give up on having MY girl back with the family who bought her, cared for her, loved her and I hurt every day knowing my biggest mistake was giving you the window of opportunity to take her.
At 6 years old now, my son just turned to me and asked if I think Santa will steal our dog, because he's so lovely.
Thanks....Thank you so much.
For a little boy to even have the thought enter his head is shameful.
Well done. I congratulate you on making that my reality this evening.
I sure hope your children never imagine someone will hurt them or you find them fearing Santa at Christmas.
My hope is you realise what you've done and do the right thing.
How about instead of Santa taking his dog. ..how about he finds Fern and leaves her under our tree for him to find on Christmas morning .
This world is cruel, but he's 6. Just a child. You've hurt him enough.
Just let her go.
Please...I'm begging."

Clarkey - Area Co-ordinator, East Sussex
http://www.doglost.co.uk/dog-blog.php?dogId=101489#.V2mSOKLB67g Lots of people suggesting that this girl could be Fern. Although the vets have not found a microchip there is always the chance that Fern's has failed or migrated.
Fern's owner is in touch with the vets and will be updating us when they know one way or another. Got everything crossed for Fern's family.

Brilliant news! Hope to be able to listen to the interview later on Thursday.
Wishing very hard for a positive outcome from this broadcast.

Msg of new publicity for Fern from her owner:
"I've just got off the phone with a nice chap from BBC Surrey. They are doing a radio programme on dog theft on Thursday and he has asked me to be part of it, featuring Fern. He will call me back to tell me what time, but I should be getting a live radio interview sometime between 7 and 9 on Thursday morning...... COME ONNNNN FERN"
Baydogs
This wasn't Fern, sadly. I know it was a very long shot but the ad is so basic with just a head shot, only a few details(not even gender) and only ability to email seller (no phone number)that I thought it worthy of a glance.....just in case.
May be someone else's missing dog here.....

Selling as Cocker not Sprocker and states 22 months old but maybe worth a look-

Owner is unable to log in so I'm copying and pasting her latest post:
"Today marks 3 years exactly since Fern vanished from our lives. I am asking everyone who reads this to share a poster, and change their profile picture to one of Fern for the day to show your ongoing support. Fern is microchipped. If you think you have her, or you know who does, it is very easy to find out. Just get her scanned.
If you've heard a whisper and you want to help us, please get in contact. We are offering £3000 for her safe return. No questions asked, just a straight swap.
This ordeal has lasted far too long. We want her home now where she belongs"

Fern's owners will never, ever give up and I know that all of us hope that someone, somewhere will bring that vital information as to where her and her young son's beloved Fern is.
If dogged determination was the only thing that dictated when a lost dog was found then Fern would have been home a long time ago.

If anyone has any information that would help please call owners or Doglost in total confidence.
I'm bumping this page for Fern.

I know this is not your area but today radio Norfolk said that a black cocker spaniel, very dirty, hungry and thirsty was found. They have the information. This may be worth a telephone call to them? Sorry I don't have number.

Thanks Gilly and all, everything gets checked. I will check M25 tomorrow

I hate having to write this but I did put this one on found pages some time ago. There is and has been an animal on the M25 for a long time now, it isn't a fox or badger. Friends have seen this and I spotted it once myself. The colouring is a tough one as having been there for sometime it would have discoloured. The 'dog' is on the hard shoulder a short distance before Junction 9 at Leatherhead (from Dartford direction). It is just after where there is a concrete lump on the hard shoulder. This one has obviously been missed by the Highways Agency. I do hope this isn't Fern but not a million miles away from where she lived. xLast edited: 2015-04-22 11:55:36

http://www.express.co.uk/news/uk/426661/Lupo-lookalike-stolen A story has been put on the daily express online site. Please can Ferns page be bumped due to recent press coverage?

Our dog theft awareness meeting was a brilliant success. Attended by around 50 people, PC John Hockly (rural communities officer for surrey) gave a very good talk, answered questions and comments, and we heard 2 very sad personal stories from victims. Other police beats gave info on their own schemes in their area to help combat the problem. You can read the a full account of the meeting at my facebook page Find Fern, and it will also be run in the local press and radio in the following week.

Our dog theft awareness meeting is going ahead tomorrow at Byhurst Farm in Chessington from 1pm. Please come along and support us to raise awareness of this crime

My friend has found a similar dog near rusper. I don't want to get your hopes up as this one doesn't seem to have as much white and the colour is not the same.
Please reply to her post on dog found today.

The dog seen in Epsom was a staffy type, sadly not my Fern.

Just seen that What's on in Epsom FB page has a report of a black and white dog running loose in East St. Have asked whoever reported it to have a look at Fern's page and let you know if it could be possibly be her. Keeping everything crossed that it could be. No sign of her again today on Ashtead Common I'm afraid.
Fern
Have had an appeal for information about Fern aired on Radio Jackie news today. Fingers crossed it is heard by someone who has information
BBKM
So sorry and sad your beautiful girl is still missing. You are doing everything possible to help get your Fern home. Posters really do help, praying for her safe return very very soon. Keep checking any used/unused barns, sheds, stables that are in the area. She may have a cozy den where she feels safe. Fingers crossed x
Fern
Replied to email, we need to push for these leads to be followed by the police.

Photographer from the Surrey comet has just been to take pictures of myself, my son and our dog lost poster of Fern. This will run alongside an article about Fern being missing, possibly stolen. Fingers crossed someone see's it that has spotted her.
Fern
I have been out today postering like mad. There are a few more places that I need to get to that I think might help me get her back.
PaulaK
Have shared poster on Doglost and spoken to owner. Keep positive and keep postering x
Fern
There have been no sightings at all of my gorgeous girl. I am becoming more convinced that she has been stolen. Please please please share this poster and make Fern too hot to handle. That way the low life that have done this to us wont be able to sell her on and may let her go. We are devastated at the loss of our girl.

Have posted on Ashtead local FB sites and Pachesham Agility. Spoke to one of the Common wardens this morning, so they are now aware, but probably best to give them a buzz to make sure they have your details. No sign when I was up on the Common this morning I'm afraid, but told everyone I met, so hopefully lots of eyes looking. Will go out looking again later. Hope she's back home safe soon.
Jan S
I have passed round to friends and family in the area and will keep a look out myself. I hope she is found safely very soon.

I saw on Doglost that a white van is going round taking our dogs what I cannot understand is why the police have not caught them the van has false number plates 7465 CGT its a white merc last seen in Peterborough, if you look on doglost to see how many dogs missing or stolen in each area its obvious that it is an organized group of people doing this terrible crime !!!
Gloria
I hope she is back soon with you soon its so sad
