Ichecked with dogstrust and willow is registered to me and I confirmed they had correct address and contact details.I also rang the microchip company who confirmed correct details.
I think this site is amazing from excellent advice to words of encouragement and heartfelt wishes and prayers for willow.I keep looking at willow and still can't quite believe she is back home.

So pleased to see gorgeous Willow has been found safe.
Well done to all involved.xx

2014-04-01 16:18 treesrgreen09

Absolutely over the moon,for Willow and all his adoring family.You must be so happy.Could I just mention (without seeming rude)check if Willow has been chipped by the rescue home.If so make sure he is registered to your name/address,as I had to change the details on my rescues data base.I see the Dogs Trust micro-chip free of charge,it helps locate owners,when the pets go missing.Happy days for you all now.xxx:-)

2014-03-31 22:12 willow

Sue do you mean the fields or the pathways.going back tomorrow morning and wanted to be sure.do you know if it was nearer to th e civic or byrom lane.

2014-03-31 22:11 sallennon

We live next to Lowton Civic Hall.Just been up and down the path on the fields to Byrom bridge for the last hour but no sign,sorry.
Will be on again with our Border Collies tommorow.
Good luck Willow x

2014-03-31 22:08 willow

Went to area where Willow sighted but sadly didn't spot her.going back tomorrow early am with my other dog.thanks to Karen for passing information on.thanks Kirsten for going out this morning.also thanks Karen for all the posters and flyers.you are all amazing people.

2014-03-31 21:52 beardies in need

Beardie people going Wednesday who helped get Meg they are v good trying also to get trap over. In meantime keep doing posters. And Ann food stations. Will say more prayers tonight! X

2014-03-31 20:25 beardies in need

We need to keep her in area without scaring her elsewhere. Need to keep her in area with food stations. Ann now going with lots sardines. Need to be one or 2 at a time and don't call her or talk. And don't use torch. Knowing beardies well I think we will need a trap out tomorrow evening if poss. We raised funds to put them iin most of the country. But most are the hook type. Mine is the type door close when dog walk in. Others they pull meay off hook and door close. But we would urgently need courier to get mine there its had lots dogs found in it. Would be a good idea to do a bar b q with garlic sausage or chicken at dawn in the morning she will be getting very hungry now. again just 2 or 3 going max so don't get scared.

2014-03-31 19:03 karenbate

Dropped flyers and more posters off at Anne's on the way home stopped outside some derelict buildings and spoke to a young girl who say her brother and a friend spotted willow last week in the slag lane / sandy lane area of lowton telephoned this information to Anne and just seen the post by sue (thank you sue it really does help X) this confirms the other two sightings and Anne at this minute is in the area looking. We will concentrate the posters and leaflet drop in this area now. So fingers crossed x

2014-03-31 18:37 sue

Willow was sighted by my brotherin law yesterday in the fields behind lowton civic hall heafing towards byrom bridge.....hope this helps

2014-03-31 16:33 beardies in need

If anyone at all can get more posters out please do. Yet again kilovely beardie lady and her beardie went out 5am sadly the only one out there. More and more posters need getting out urgently from where missing from all way to where ann live through lots letterboxs. Must go all out now. Ann please don't give up. U met jane with Meg the beardie who was missing a month. We just need the sightings. I also feel someone could have taken her in which is why these letterboxs need doing. And kennels must be checked daily we hope Ann has done this today but we can't get hold of her. Cheshire say must go in person. If found and taken to kennels in just 2 days they will put up for rehome. Ann don't give up and we need contact incase anyone find her. X

2014-03-31 11:55 Goldenfrodo

Many thanks to everyone whose helping to find this beautiful girl.

Could admin please send alerts to WN2 postcodes please. Thanks. I'll bump the page now.

2014-03-31 09:32 Meru

Don't give up hope Anne; there are many uplifting stories of reunions on this site.
I have printed a posted and sent it to Robinsons Equestrian in Ashton as many people visit that store from all over.
If you suggestions as to where you would like me to send posters I will happily print and post them for you.

2014-03-30 22:09 Lulu

we met Anne today and we pray for this beatifuls girl safe return, as I said earlier Anne do not give up. I am awaiting confirmation to join facebook selling pages and then will link this advert to there, we also met a horse rider today who has taken some details and who also has a beardie, the more that are aware of what she looks like the better xxxx

Anne will be picking some posters up tomorrow from mine, I have to work tomorrow so will do some more their printer is better also will be doing some flyers and dropping them off at hers on my way home from work. I can't facebook at work but can call at the warrington branch of MCDH if they have picked up any dogs that remotely resemble Willow, Anne has my mobile if needed. Will also email Warrington Animal Welfare too.

Could admin also send alerts to WN2 postcodes as im not far from WA3 but wouldn't get alerted I'm sure there are quite a few doglost volunteers in this area that could help.

I want to thank you all for your advice,kind words and best wishes for Willow.She really is the sweetest little girl and we are heartbroken.I am trying to be hopeful but am struggling as I am fearing the worst.

2014-03-30 20:37 Meru

Is there a Facebook link for Willow?

2014-03-30 20:36 Meru

Check the Animal Wardens site and the Manchester & Cheshire Dogs home on a daily basis.

2014-03-30 19:10 beardies in need

We had 3 kind beardie ladies go today. One of which had a beardie missing a month last year she headed for a farm as a lot do. We set the trap which she went in. There's lots more posters need going out. Local to where Willow went from and her home area. Through lots of letterboxs. People near to where she went from didn't know she was missing. Without 100s posters there will be no feedback. Also need doing further afield. So anyone at all that can help with this asap it would really help poor Ann. All kennels in the morn must be visted no good just ringing them. Local radio and papers need contacting early. Plus a call to the council. And all vets. More are going out searching but its the posters that urgently need doing please. Many thanks to all x

2014-03-30 16:14 Paula Marie

Would be a good idea to drop some off at Lowton Riding Centre and also the bike shop in Golborne. Horse riders and cyclist may have more chance of spotting Willow if she is laying low.

2014-03-29 17:43 stacdusk@gmail.com

I fostered Willow for Dogs Trust for about 3 months. She was the most traumatised dog I have ever known though she did improve greatly after a while. I can only repeat what others have said that she shouldn't be chased or called. She was a real poppet, I do hope she is found soon.

2014-03-29 12:12 her from hindley

2014-03-28 21:52 beardies in need

I've given advice. There's been sighting today near industrial area. Need lots of posters up. She's v timid so don't call her name or chase. Use smelly food even a bar b q with garlic sausages. I would do this at dawn in area seen. We also have humane traps or night vision goggles. Owner trying to get flight home but wouldn't be before tuesday sadly. Willow is a rescue from dogstrust Leigh so she must have a microchip I would say. Hope she's found safe very soon bless her.

2014-03-28 21:33 Lulu

Have there been any sightings and if so what area/roads etc?
