No pat88 still no news, it's infuriating.
No more donations to RSPCA from me, that's for sure!

2016-01-25 11:58 pat88

so is there a link to any pics of these dogs please ??

2015-01-22 20:47 Elaine Tinker and Hemps mum

Hi Alison, I wasn't meaning you at doglost, I think you are doing a fabulous job, I know you can't tell us what you don't know either. It's just time that RSPCA started taking us dog lovers/owners in to account.. I know I am not the only one with missing pets, I scan the Internet for hours each day, when maybe I don't need to. All we are asking for are pictures of the adult dogs that were found, so we can all eliminate them. If I was to describe my dogs, you would probably describe them differently, we really need to see.
I have tried several avenues of going directly through RSPCA as yet with no luck, but I have been given the name of a man in the complaints department. I think it's going to be the only way forward for all of us.

Elaine I can assure you we are not keeping you in the dark. We have not been given any further information or photos of the dogs in this case.

2015-01-21 21:40 Elaine Tinker and Hemps mum

81723
How is it possible for us the see the pictures on the found page 81723
Yet we are still waiting for news on this case?? It is now over 3 months and we still know nothing. Come on enough is enough, stop keeping us in the dark

2015-01-04 12:14 DogLostCJ - Police Liaison & SE Regional Coordinator

This is an on going RSPCA investigation and I have been told I will not get photos till the case is heard.
However in order to eliminate many dogs that are missing I have asked again for some better details- I have been told that most were puppies and breeds were Cavachon’s, (Parents or offspring bred from - Bichon Freis and Cavalier King Charles Spaniel-
Bichon Freis,
Cockapoo. ( parents or offspring bred from cocker spaniel x poodle)

This should now help some owners to see that their dog is not one of these.

2014-12-20 18:03 Elaine Tinker and Hemps mum

Any news Nik, Doglost PR Advisor???.
I spoke to North yorkshire police about the lack of information RSPCA are giving us on this incident, even they were surprised. It's now 6 months since my girls were stolen, we need answers and news.
Even if they contact the police forces involved with the hundreds of us missing our loved and missed pets, PLEASE help us all

2014-12-06 18:25 Elaine Tinker and Hemps mum

Hi Carol. Unfortunately we have not been told anything. I am just waiting for the leaflet that the police have put together on dog thefts with my two girls pictures on. Then I am writing to the legal department at the RSPCA. I have the name of the bloke I need to write too. I will then do all I can for us all to see what dogs were recovered in all raids. That's all I can say at the moment, it looks as we are having to do it our selves x

2014-12-06 17:13 carol

Hi could you tell me if any of the dogs that were found was there any bullmastiffs I would be very greatfull if you would get back to me thank you Carol

2014-12-02 18:31 Elaine Tinker and Hemps mum

Toast Master, my comments were in response to Furry Angel too!!! I know it is exhausting, especially when we are going all out to find our little ones and keep coming across brick walls!!
I wrote your number down, then forgot to take it with me. No mobile reception at home. I will phone you tomorrow from my mobile when at work xx

2014-12-01 23:12 Toast Master

Sorry Elaine if I caused offense that was not my intention and of course your dogs are priceless to you as mine are to me. I am so exhausted with all of this and feeling rather fraught and my comments were in response to Furry Angel in Ireland his breed is commonly used in puppy farms which would mean he would be target again I am not saying anything against your dogs or your love for them but trying to clarify things. Ginnys mum I agree I have numerous people contacting me every time my hopes are raised only to be dashed again.

2014-12-01 22:11 Ginnys Mum

I've received links to this post in 2 different fb posts today by people thinking it's a new raid. Could the poster details be changed to make it clear that there are no stolen dogs waiting to be claimed. Some people don't read all the posts!!

2014-12-01 17:30 Elaine Tinker and Hemps mum

that would be really good Nik. I am writing to the legal team at RSPCA head quarters. Something has to be done, we cannot carry on like this. Good Luck

2014-12-01 17:03 Unknown

I shall be at the House of Commons tomorrow for the Associate Parliamentary Group for Animal Welfare. Tomorrow's meeting is on dog welfare, so I will try to grab a senior member of the RSPCA and see what can be done.

Hi,
My male choc brown and tan Chihuahua who would be 7 months old now has been missing since Oct 1st.
He was only 5 months old when he went missing so had not yet been micro chipped or neutered.
Is there any more info as to who can be contacted in order for me to verify that he isn't one of these dogs?

2014-11-30 20:20 Elaine Tinker and Hemps mum

Thank you Toast Master, I will have a look. Any breed can be used for breeding to make money. Neither of my girls are pedigree, but, they are priceless to me. Just please watch my YouTube video: two lost dogs Tinker and Hemp
Then tell me they have to be pedigree.
Have had to work today, but will sort the petition as soon as I can, for ALL our sakes x

2014-11-30 16:29 Toast Master

Should have also said he is full pedigree and entire he wasn't microchipped but has a tatoo

2014-11-30 16:28 Toast Master

Elaine Bragi's id is 70795 if you need any help my details are on his page xx

2014-11-30 02:02 FurryAngel

I`ve only just seen this thread :(
A friend know of these people in Aveley,
Im almost sure that all the "puppies" referred to,
will be 12 weeks or under, bred on the site.
Also, im just as certain that any adult dogs found,
will be pure bred, and obviously entire (Unspayed)
The chance of anyone finding their neutered/spayed dogs,
or crossbred dogs amongst this lot, are virtually nil,
Its a puppy farm, with Pairs of different breeds.
Maybe there could be one or two stolen pedigree bitches amongst them, thats entirely possible, but the puppies?
They would have almost certainly been bred on the site.
Why dont the RSPCA just tell people the puppies are baby puppies, and not peoples stolen older pups!
Im really sorry, reading your msgs is breaking my heart,
I just wanted to put you straight on these people,
so you dont waste time, and you can carry on searching,
for your beloved doggies, I pray to god you all
find them soon, safe & sound

2014-11-29 19:56 Seeks

The one thing I can promise you we were told onlt 6 adults and the chipped ones were returned to their owners...The rest were puppies and not chipped but they wouldn't say what breeds.

I was wrong earlier the returned lady was a liver and white springer not a cocker/ Her name began with a T but she didn't seem to be on doglost but had been missing I think 7 months....

After that there was silence and I never have found out what the puppies actually were the other 4 adults were said to be lurcher types....

I would willing;ly sign and share tweet etc that petition xx

Elaine forgot to say our girl was stolen in Cornwall but at a year and 13 days she could be any where and we don't have a clue who she was sold to or how many times she has been sold on She is 60130 on here xx

2014-11-29 19:06 Elaine Tinker and Hemps mum

Thank you Toast Master, I will take you up on the offer of help.
Both my girls Tinker and Hemp were not microchipped, and neither spayed, so they would be ideal for breeding purposes. Thank you C.J police contact co-ordinator, we appreciate what you have put. It is so frustrating for ALL of us with missing/lost/stolen dogs. Even if they WERE microchipped ask any vet, they will tell you, it takes minutes to remove them. ALL we have ever asked for is photos of the recovered dogs, we understand you cannot inform us of anything else. Just PLEASE help us. It is now over 5 months since my girls were stolen, each day is a living hell. Tinker 71081 Hemp 71080

2014-11-29 18:54 Toast Master

Elaine if you need any help with anything I am gladly offering my services someone has just messaged me a poster asking to help reunite owners with their dogs which was circulated today I find this really weird as when I phoned RSPCA again yesterday I was advised that all dogs had been returned to their owners. I live in Scotland I will get Bragis id for you he has been tatoo'd for identification and is not neutered and I believe he has been stolen for breeding

2014-11-29 17:50 mandy

I have been missing a 7 month old Chihuahua since Oct
He was 5 months old (just) when he went missing so hadn't yet had him micro chipped or neutered.
Is there anyone I can contact to maybe see if he might be one of them?

2014-11-29 12:29 DogLostCJ - Police Liaison & SE Regional Coordinator

Whilst I appreciate that there are many owners desperate for information it is not likely they are among these dogs.
In order to get details I asked a trusted contact in Kent police to get information for me as they would know who best to contact.
I was told that 99% of the dogs were puppies bred on the site. The rest have no chips if your dogs is chipped it is not one of these. If your dog is spayed or neutered is will not be one as these have been kept for breeding.
Essex Police are going to send me details of the RSPCA officers who took photos of the ‘parents’ So that I can get them to send them to us. Chasing this up to see if photos taken I was told ''Not as yet and pictures will not be released until investigations is finished'.
All I can do is push for more details from RSPCA such as breed and numbers of adults as this will eliminate many dogs being looked for , I would imagine that we are possibly looking at 12 breeding females at maximum. But will try to get this confirmed for everyone ASAP.

2014-11-29 10:10 Happiness yorkie lover xxx

To start the PETION elaine you need to go onto CARE2PETITION This will enable you to start a PETION for you all xxxx

2014-11-29 09:54 duffs54

I agree with what has been said, I cannot imagine how awful it is knowing your dog had been stolen and not being able to get answers from any authorities a website set up by the RSPCA would make it a lot easier to see if your dogs has been recovered, it breaks my heart reading all of your stories please let us know if you need a signature for any petitions etc, I'm sure the family of Doglost on here will all help xxxx.

2014-11-29 09:42 jane

Does anyone know who we have to contact about these dogs found
As Sally is still missing and would love to find out if she was 1 of the dogs recovered. Thanks

2014-11-29 09:09 DogLostMe N My Girl - Administrative Volunteer

Perhaps RSPCA/Police should have a " RAID RECOVERED " animal site with just photos on, no need to say anything other than sex of animal.

2014-11-29 07:52 Elaine Tinker and Hemps mum

Thank you Tansey. I will keep fighting for all of us. As soon as I get petition sorted, I will try to put the link on here. United we stand!!

2014-11-29 06:38 Tansey

It must be hard for you but you are doing a fabulous job for your dogs and the others stay strong! Everyday I search for Kizzy, think of Kizzy it takes over your life!

2014-11-29 06:37 Tansey

I am sure everyone on this dog site and others would sign it for all the dogs lost, stolen nationwide!

2014-11-29 06:35 Tansey

will definitely sign this one for Kizzy and all the others well done Elaine and Hemps mum excellent plan! I think you have to have to obtain so many signatures before you can take it to Parliament your MP will know! It is so definitely worth a try they should be made aware of all this Dog theft, over breeding of dogs, Puppy farms etc more!

2014-11-28 21:01 Elaine Tinker and Hemps mum

yes, let's try every thing we can think of. They have to do something. I will see about setting up a petition. So we can all put our names, pets names and doglost ID numbers on x

2014-11-28 20:50 Niki

please please add me as well Elaine , as u probably know bumble was found but Tess no 56565 a 2yo black patterdale bitch is still missing since july 2013.Perhaps a letter to the national chairman asking them to be more open in their dealings with us might get people to look at them more favourably? I sent emails to every rspca rescue centre i could find on the net and kept on badgering.xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

2014-11-28 20:37 Elaine Tinker and Hemps mum

I will add every one who wants to be added. It is emotionally hard enough coping with the loss of our pets, we should NOT have to jump through hoops to get information. It would be really useful if you could put the area you live in or, put your pets doglost ID numbers on, so I can check your areas. I just think it would help to show how widespread this is, I am in North Yorkshire. We will NOT give up

2014-11-28 19:06 Toast Master

Elaine could you please add me to the list of people with lost dogs. I phoned yet again and got totally nowhere I received a phone call weeks ago and was informed that Bragi was not one of the dogs recovered and that they were not stolen dogs. Today there has been a lot on fb urging people to get in touch with them so I did I was advised that all dogs recovered today were reunited with their owners I am about to write a letter of complaint to them I think the information they have been giving to people is confusion and contradictory but any help from you Elaine would be greatly appreciated xxx

2014-11-28 15:31 Seeks

Elaine please add us in to the problem.....We have had this a few times since Pup was stolen too...

We did find out only two were chipped and they were reunited and the bulk were puppies....I so want to know where the parents are but one reunited was a cocker and I don't remember what the other was but could re ask if it help?

The other (I think it was 4) adults were lurcher types and not chipped...I don't know what the puppies were and never did get an answer from the rspca as the phone number I was given to ring was said to be the wrong number and was only given an email address with a recorded leave a message number that never rang us back....

Niki is so right though we have keep ringing them over and over as they never will get back to you

So please add us in my friend. Its hard enough without them making it harder and all we erver need (any of us) is our babies back xx

2014-11-27 20:14 Niki

as I found out last year when I was looking for Bumble and TessDoglost 56565 you have to keep ringing,emailing and phoning,in the end I wrote a letter to the chairman with a timeline (it took me from august to december) and thats what it took to get a definitive answerxxxxxxxxxx

2014-11-27 20:03 Elaine Tinker and Hemps mum

I had a phone call this afternoon, from Gary Palmer RSPCA officer. He was very nice and was also helpful. He has given me the name of a contact in the RSPCA legal department. I will contact them on behalf of all of us who are desperately looking for our lost and stolen pets.
I also wrote to our MP so again we can be hopeful something will be done.
The RSPCA said they would keep in touch, so at least we have a contact which is better than nothing. Karen ( smudge's mum) is going on a radio station tomorrow morning, so Smudge, Tinker and Hemp will all be mentioned. As soon as I know the date of the police press conference I have been invited to, I will keep everyone informed, let's all get together to see what we can do.

2014-11-27 16:02 fionap58

I am not an RSPCA basher like a lot of animal lovers BUT this is the problem with a body of people who are not accountable to anyone! Who do you complain to if you hit this brick wall time and time again? So many people are desperate to find out if their dogs have been recovered, and there probably are some raids that recover dogs that HAVE been stolen but are never identified, but no one is getting any answers. Personally, if I had even an idea that the RSPCA had recovered my dogs I would be making LOTS of noise, banging on doors, writing to newspapers, contacting police even as you could imply they are possibly keeping your stolen property from you by ignoring requests for pictures so the dogs can be identified.

2014-11-27 11:43 Elaine Tinker and Hemps mum

Thank you for agreeing with me. Even if there is a court case, they won't know if the dogs recovered were stolen or not if we are not allowed to view them. The dogs are the innocent ones and deserve to be home. I have contacted the RSPCA again today, no further forward, still hit the same brick wall of the secret service!!! I have now contacted our MP hopefully we will now see some movement??!!

2014-11-27 07:51 ALS

I agree with you all , I just wish there was some how we could have a place where information and updates could be posted and shared , even if there is a court case at least we would know what places had been raided , number and types of dogs and where they get taken , we are still searching for 4 dogs that were stolen and its so frustrating when you can not get info x

2014-11-26 22:45 Happiness yorkie lover xxx

Can agree more Elaine all that is needed is pictures of the dogs recovered to let people of lost or stolen dogs know one way or the other xxx

2014-11-26 19:43 Elaine Tinker and Hemps mum

I am sorry, but I really feel that the RSPCA have let us down on this one. Also a puppy farm was raided in Darlington on 13th November. I contacted the RSPCA office dealing with this. I was given the name of the officer, who was supposed to phone me. 4 phone calls later, and I still haven't spoken to him. Even the police have told me to contact the RSPCA complaints dept. they don't have to give us names of the people guilty of this crime, but surely we can see the dogs recovered. It is now 22 weeks and 1 day since my two girls were stolen. It is so frustrating. It said on our local news channel tonight that over 300 dogs have been stolen.
Where is the justice. Come on RSPCA put us all in the picture. We have a right to know

2014-11-26 13:55 Seeks

Sophiesuds I think you might be right xx

Elaine the silence is probably to do with the court case as you can't put stuff in the papers or talk publicly prior to judgement is finished/made

What we did find out (oh we looked because of our baby) most were puppies, the only adults chipped wee reunited but there were hardly any adults found.

I should love to know where the puppies parents are but so far nobody knows xx

2014-11-23 16:19 sophiesuds

There are a lot of new dogs on the Basildon dog trust website so maybe some of these are from the raid, but until someone tells you we will never know. Trouble is with dog trust dogs get reserved before pictures are even put on and no description of dogs physical looks so they could be rehomed without original owner getting a chance.

2014-11-15 20:57 Elaine Tinker and Hemps mum

Does anyone know what has happened to these dogs?? It was 21st October and still no news. What is the big secret?? There was a puppy farm raided in Darlington on 13th November. I am still trying to chase that up. I have even asked police crime commissioner to help. Surely it would be so easy to put all of us with missing dogs minds at ease. It seems we are up against a brick wall. Come on PLEASE help

2014-11-06 21:31 DogLostKimmybear - Area Co-ordinator, Essex & Hertfordshire borders

The found dogs are not chipped. They would have been scanned all over body to check. It is also possible the adult dogs were bred previously and then, used to breed now and so not actually missing ones. I am not saying this is the case, we do not know as yet, but this is a thought for those of you with heavy hearts right now. xxx

2014-11-06 21:25 DogLostKimmybear - Area Co-ordinator, Essex & Hertfordshire borders

If the police do provide us photos, we will do as we always do and search our site to try and locate any possibles. This is why we always request photos when owners list a dog. Many times DogLost comes across found dogs or dogs rescued from certain places and we match up as many as possible. Some can be matched from many years ago, so keep your photos on here. If anyone else has lost a dog and not registered on here, please ask them to do so, even if was some time ago. You really never know when they might crop up. And, this is when we like helpers to help us plough through the missing dogs so if ever you see a found dog on any site, please check our missings. Thank you. xxx

2014-11-06 18:08 paula

No news! ! No pics!! What's happened!! Losing faith again

2014-11-06 17:16 fionap58

Its heartbreaking to see people desperately posting queries about their lost dogs. Can't the RSPCA release any info so that these poor owners can find out for definite that the dogs aren't amongst the recovered. I know only a few adult were rescued and they weren't microchipped but that doesn't reassure owners of unmicrochipped dogs. Is no-one in contact with the RSPCA?

Were any liver and white springer spaniels found? Scampi has been missing for 3 years, so would now be 6 years old. She was microchipped when she went missing.

DogLost issued the following statement earlier in the week:

"The majority of the 75 dogs seized in Essex by the Police were puppies. The parents were not chipped. Essex police will be supplying us with photos of the adults."

Our experience in similar cases is that it takes a while for this information to come through. Please do not phone DogLost or the RSPCA as we do not have any further information.

2014-10-25 15:02 NickyB

it would be good if local council dog warden service got involved and got photos and full descriptions of the dogs, this would greatly help the public and the rspca, who receive calls every few minutes every day of the year with calls for help. when awful large scale things happen like Manchester dogs home fire its wonderful to see how every organisation and local people and the public at large rally round together to help the animals.

2014-10-25 13:33 colliebird

I sincerely hope this isn't going to turn into a thread insulting the RSPCA. This is doglost for lost/found/stolen animals. If anyone has anything to discuss with the RSPCA they should contact them, not put their comments on here. They have been kind enough to comment on here and publishing photos etc might compromise any legal routes they are going down concerning these dogs. If you read further down, the RSPCA is asking owners to email a photo of their missing dog to reception@rspcaessex.org.uk Thank you Jayne, you do a fantastic job with doglost.co.uk and communicating as you do with other organisations can only be helpful for the dogs, so please everyone, no negative comments.

2014-10-25 11:52 Niki

a huge thankyou must go to you at doglost for attempting to deal with this situation on our behalf-it is incredibly frustrating for those of us who have missing dogs but eventually perhaps some of us might get closurexxxxxxxxxxx

2014-10-25 11:02 Esther

If the RSPCA, would publish photos, surely it would actually save them a lot of time. Where ever I was in the country, if my dog was missing I would be phoning about it constantly, until certain it wasn't there. If photos were released at least some people would know that there dog isn't there, thus allowing for more time for the people whose dog may be involved and not keeping others with false hope.

2014-10-25 09:28 valgrays border collie rescue

Last Monday 20th I phoned up the RSPCA concerning the dogs seized as we are still searching for Lucy our Lurcher x Saluki...which has been missing now for nearly 4 years....The RSPCA have not had the decency to contact us to even chat to us about our concerns, no photos have been published, no description on any of them, same thing also for the volume of dogs in Hemel Hempstead.....have been asking where all these dogs are! can we view what branch are they at nothing!.....no wonder the RSPCA are getting such a bad name.We need some information.....NOW

2014-10-25 09:09 mathers22

I totally agree. Why can't they photo all the dogs and put the owners of missing dogs out of their misery waiting in anticipation that their pet may be there !!

i agree. They have said some of the dogs are in a bad way, but we see pictures of badly neglected animals on the RSPCA adverts on the television. Please just put pictures on and give all of us the chance to see first hand IF our dogs are among those found.

2014-10-24 18:53 Tansey

why cant they just let us see the photos and then we may see our dog!

2014-10-24 18:34 Elaine Tinker and Hemps mum

i had a phone call this morning from RSPCA. She was very nice, she said she didn't think my two girls Tinker and Hemp were among the dogs seized from the traveller site. I still feel I need to see photos of the dogs that were seized just so I can make sure for myself. It is so frustrating just waiting and hearing nothing.

Having trouble getting through or uploading pic - searching for STOLEN JOSHUA, male golden retriever stolen from Kent Dec 2012. If anyone knows what dogs were on the site please keep an eye out for him x

Just registered Logans details although they said they are not sure if any of the dogs were stolen.

Even though there may be no evidence that the adult dogs were stolen it is certainly a possibility and all the owners of dogs suspected stolen must be out of their minds with worry. They're bound to be frantic now that they think their dogs could be amongst the ones retrieved so why doesn't the RSPCA post pictures of the adult dogs so that owners can put their minds at rest. If it was me I'd be going nuts trying to find out if mine was there.

I am scared that dogs that have been stolen will be rehomed why cant they give us some pictures they may not be chipped because these gypsies cut the chip out

Are the mothers of the pups with them, as so many pups have been stolen.

Tx for the update RSPCA press office. we too are being inundated with calls and are directing people to monitor this thread for any updates rather than to ring you.We appreciate that you are posting on here,

1 brindle male greyhound found Averly rm15. He on pets located don't no if connected to this.

2014-10-23 13:39 RSPCA Press Office

Regarding the animals taken into possession following the recent warrant in south Essex, there is no indication at this time that any of the animals are stolen.

However, we do appreciate the genuine interest in this operation from owners who have concerns that their dogs have been stolen.

During the course of the investigation should any of the animals be identified or there is any suspicion that they may be stolen then the RSPCA will put out a further communication.

At present we have been inundated with calls from members of the public who suspect their animals may be included in the animals taken from the location. Unfortunately due to the vast number of calls received we are unable to respond to all enquiries about the seized dogs and puppies at this time.

Thank you once again for your ongoing interest and concerns.

2014-10-23 08:45 duffs54

So pleased lots of dogs have been found, but so sad some might not find there way home, dogs change over the months/years they go missing,just going by a picture unless they are very distinctive is very hard. I hope some of the lost dogs on here are amongst them, especially thinking of a few long term losts, fingers crossed xxx

2014-10-22 23:57 Happiness yorkie lover xxx

Can a page be set up with photos of all these poor fur babies then owners can look them self as everyone's descriptions are different and wouldn't want a dog not getting home because of errors in descriptions xxxx

2014-10-22 19:05 bdurrant

I read the latest,that most seized are puppies and adults not chipped :(

2014-10-22 18:48 Elaine Tinker and Hemps mum

I got that response last night too after contacting reception@rspcaessex.org.uk. But when I rang the main number this morning they were really helpful I gave them my girls doglost.co.uk ID numbers so they can look at the pictures on there. Fingers crossed we all get some much needed good news

2014-10-22 17:40 Andy

I too contacted the number last night and the lady took full details and contact numbers. She did say she wasn't sure if they were going to release any more details at that point. I also emailed reception@rspcaessex.org.uk and got this response:- Over the last few days we have been inundated with people who have heard that dogs seized by police from a travellers site in Averley, Essex were brought to our rescue shelter. This information is incorrect. We are sending our thoughts out to you and wish you all the luck in finding your missing companions.



If you would like to contact the RSPCA on 0300 1234 999 they may be able to help you.

Has anyone heard anymore?

2014-10-22 17:23 Murphy

Updates on police rspca raid RSPCA is asking owners to email a photo of their missing dog to reception@rspcaessex.org.uk or call 0300 111 4321 which is an automated number so remember to leave details of your dog and your contact details. We have nothing confirmed at this time, but if you have a missing dog you will need to try RSPCA and Police and do the best you can. if we receive definite news from either police or RSPCA, we will post here. It may also be an idea to post your dog on their missing website as well

2014-10-22 15:02 Elaine Tinker and Hemps mum

I phoned the main number for the RSPCA this morning. Spoke to a very nice lady, she took my details and full description of Tinker and Hemp. So I felt it was a positive result.
I have also got an email back from the RSPCA updating me on the situation regarding the animals seized. It is now just a case of waiting and hoping.

2014-10-22 14:15 Wendy

I have contacted + emailed the RSPCA and had a similar response to others below. I then contacted Essex police who have confirmed that 99% seized are puppies and the few dogs there are not microchipped.
In case anyone's checking this from the RSPCA and the information above is incorrect - Ruby Doglost ID: 75279

I have emailed reception@rspcaessex.org.uk and had the same response as ALS. They just say the information is incorrect and give no help as to where we should be directing our enquiries.

2014-10-22 12:50 Tansey

Lets hope lots of dogs are returned to their owners especially Kizzy who went missing on 9th September from the South East a twelve year old Shih Tzu ! Hope lots of doggies come back. If any information where we can contact please let me know ? Thank you.

2014-10-22 12:03 ALS

just been told replies from email say they have been inundated with messages but the animals have not been taken to them they say this information is incorrect ??? where are they ?

2014-10-22 11:42 kate

2014-10-22 07:30 Helen

I have also emailed Stans poster as a long shot he may have been sold on by our local travellers. I hope there are a lot of happy owners reunited.

2014-10-21 23:49 #stoppettheft

I really hope that there will be many happy owners reunited with their beloved missing /stolen pets in the coming days :)
Something HAS to be done to make Pet Theft /Crime less 'attractive i.e. VERY HARSH penalties

2014-10-21 23:47 #stoppettheft

I wish the authorities would raid EVERY travellers site & check Dogs for 'chips / ownership !
Police in this day & age should have a database of ALL missing/stolen pets - partic. photos - & in the future maybe DNA Pawprints matching or along those lines !
I have friends who had Patterdale stolen & sure it was travellers - obviously not 100 % but their dog could be anywhere in the UK or beyond by now :(

2014-10-21 22:22 AlisonH

Any other info we receive will be posted.

2014-10-21 22:09 Niki

if they could just release a list of the breeds of dogs seized it would be a huge help

2014-10-21 21:59 AlisonH

Just received this info. 99% of them were puppies bred on the site. The rest have no chips

2014-10-21 21:57 Unknown

I really hope that these dogs are soon reunited with their owners via doglost, which would be great. Well done Kent police. Keep us posted please. Good luck to all.

2014-10-21 21:11 Elaine Tinker and Hemps mum

Thank you Micky. I have done as you suggested. I have now got a reference number by clicking on media and typing FAO inspector Landsthorpe.

2014-10-21 21:09 Elaine Tinker and Hemps mum

Hi, I haven't found any obvious way to upload a picture but now you have registered under my RSPCA. You can set up a new enquiry https://www.rspca.org.uk/myrspca login in and create a enquiry - not much in way of categories but I would either choose media or service complaint, state what's it regarding and make the header FAO Inspector Landsthorpe in the hope they respond quickly- I would also call them in the morning. That comment was put on my page by Micky. See my next post

Hi sophiesuds, I have tried everything. I sent an email to the rspca just got an email back from them saying to contact main rspca. I have registered with myrspca and followed all the links but nothing. I thought it must be me being thick!! I still haven't seen a police person, so yes VERY frustrating x

2014-10-21 20:43 sophiesuds

If my dog had been registered as stolen and you have a local policeman dealing with it I would telephone them to see if they can get more information from their Thurrock colleagues than you will. Worth a try must be so frustrating. Other than that can an email not be sent to the contact at rspca address with your contact details on and implore them to phone you ASAP.

2014-10-21 20:29 missstacey4

i cant register my missing girl on rspca either?? :/

2014-10-21 20:06 Elaine Tinker and Hemps mum

I have tried everything. I have clicked on every link and registered on myrspca still can't find out how to upload or link my girls pictures Tinker and Hemp 71080 and 71081. Can anyone help please?

Gosh - bet there are a few springers among these dogs. Hope they can all be reunited. Fingers xd xxx

2014-10-21 18:02 ALS

Lets just hope they can all be checked before being sent to re-homing rescues chipped or not !!

2014-10-21 17:22 Esther

Shocking xxx hope owners get reunited if there dogs were among these fur babies xxxxxxx

2014-10-21 16:49 Red Alert

I have been messaged and told that they contacted the RSPCA and they were not aware of anything however there wasthe email shown below which should be marked for the attention of Anne Benferri

2014-10-21 16:48 wensmum

Thank you, doglost, you will get more sense than we will. The rspca Essex email goes through to a dogs home, who don't know anything about these dogs, and main rspca have asked us to email through their main webpage https://www.rspca.org.uk/login?p_p_id=58&p_p_lifecycle=0&_58_redirect=%2Fmyrspca "where you can upload a picture of your dog" Well you can't, so copy and paste the link to your doglost poster.

With the failed Virbac chips always in our minds, the fact that most of these dogs were apparently unchipped doesn't mean much, so we are going to be very grateful for any descriptions you folk can get hold of

So hope all of these dogs get back to their rightful owners, fingers crossed. Shame on the people who stole them! X

Thank you for taking the time to list this found dog and ensuring the safety of the dog.
Please ensure that you notify your local Dog Warden and the local Police Station - in Scotland you MUST inform your local Police Station and if possible contact the Dog Warden also.
The found dog may have a Microchip or a Tattoo - please have the dog scanned and checked for a tattoo at a vet's so that owners may be contacted as soon as possible.
Please check on our Missing pages in case the Found dog has been registered as missing with us.
If possible please add a photo as this greatly assists our work in matching Found dogs with Missing dogs.
