Found the above link, can see a few stories on there but not GIZMO's. Work colleague has picked a copy up for me, I'll see it tomorrow. A screenshot has been taken of the article and it is a two page spread.

Please join if not already.

THANK YOU to everyone who has been coming forward with their own experiences whilst their own dogs were in the same care as poor GIZMO and also ex employees. Thoughts are with you all.

There is now another Facebook page 'justice for Gizmo, Alfie and Finn' as well as Gizmos original page. It says Gizmo dies after being attacked by two other dogs (dogs were not kept in separate kennels). Many other stories of dogs who suffered there.

2015-09-12 17:01 Bo

I stated that quite factually - when I read the update on Gizmos FB page before putting the info on here I was shopping in a local supermarket - and actually cried as I read it. So cruel, calculating and I don't say this lightly - evil.

2015-09-12 16:04 susieq666

I agree. That really is horrible. What's the matter with the man? He needs to be locked up, even if it's for insanity, which he must be.

2015-09-12 14:55 Skywalker99

OMG that's vile. In my book that is abusive and manipulative behaviour. I hope the police find something to charge him with.

2015-09-12 14:19 Bo

Gizmo was killed within 2 or 3 days of arriving at the "trainers". His body was thrown in the bin and his collar given to another dog within xxxxxx Mxxxxx "care". He confessed this to the police and the family have his collar back now. xxxxxxx then sent video clips that he had from the first few days Gizmo was in his care and sent them to the family over the ensuing 2 or so weeks before he fabricated the beach incident.

2015-09-11 22:04 Unknown

Bo thank you for the update. why should he appeal. when he has broken the law TWICE? Words fail me. And let us not forget the dogs

2015-09-11 19:10 Bo

From the Liverpool Echo "kennel owner who is accused of failing to prevent three dogs dying while in his care has been ordered to close his business TWICE, it emerged today.

Dog trainer and owner of Total Dogs, xxxxxxxx xxxxx, has been told to cease trading at his unauthorised kennels by Sefton Council on two occasions in the last 12 months.

Town hall bosses also told him to demolish the purpose built kennel block, constructed in 2014, where the puppies were housed, as he had no planning permission for the buildings.

Father-of-two xx xxxxx, who lives on Chapel Lane, Netherton, is in the process of appealing the notices.

A spokesman for Sefton Council said: “We have served xx xxxxx with two enforcement notices requiring him to cease trading as an unauthorised dog kennels and boarding, and to demolish specified buildings following the refusal of planning permission."

Protest outside trainers home reported in local paper http://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/news/liverpool-news/dog-lovers-stage-protest-outside-10031882

2015-09-10 21:46 Unknown

Kit`sMum I believe that it may be a police matter, and that Gizmo`s fate may be a bit sus. Therefore Doglost can only allow messages of sympathy to his owners at the moment.

2015-09-10 12:04 susieq666

Nothing I can add except that it makes me terribly sad.

2015-09-10 11:23 Skywalker99

It's not just awful that something happened to Gizmo and he died, but also that his family spent 3 weeks looking for him and lots of other people gave up their time to help them...and all the while the person who had been caring for him knew they would never find him and didn't say anything.

2015-09-10 09:03 Chilebat

So sorry to now read that all was not as it seemed, thoughts are with Gizmo's family x

2015-09-10 00:33 Teddys Mum - Area Volunteer, West London

This is heart breaking and terrible news for Gizmo's owners. My heart goes out to them at this awful time. May whatever happened be dealt with severely so that justice is served. Heartfelt sympathy to Gizmo's owners.

2015-09-09 19:35 Hollieberry

Heart breaking poor Gizmo is there no one that we can trust to look after our beloved pets .

2015-09-09 18:09 Kit'sMum

Poor boy. Please accept my condolences; What happened to him?

2015-09-09 17:43 Unknown

This is terrible news. But lets hope that justice will be done

2015-09-09 17:15 Unknown

aw how awful we cannot say to much best leave it to the Police now xx

I realise people want to kick off and let off steam...is there A FB page someone can give a link too...if not please remember no names or personal details can be put on Doglost.

2015-09-09 14:40 Bo

The story about Gizmo running off was a lie. The dog 'trainer' admitted that Gizmo had died as a result of something that happened under his 'care'. He allegedly lost another dog earlier this year. It's in the hands of the authorities and speculation is pointless. Very sad and avoidable end to much loved dogs.

According to his FB page there was another dog called Finn with the same boarder who died in his sleep 3 weeks before Gizmo....however the boarder has not returned Finn's body to his owners and has changed his tory about what happened to it.

2015-09-09 14:26 DogLostJayne - Founder Doglost.

OMG!

2015-09-09 14:20 Skywalker99

According to Gizmo's Facebook page his death is now in the hands of the police, Gizmo seems to be the 3rd dog to disappear/come to harm while in the care of the dog boarder he was with

2015-09-09 13:54 Doglover

Rainbow Bridge

Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.

When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge.

There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together.

There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.

All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor; those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by.
The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.

They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent; His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.

You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.

Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together....

The FOUND on the AW site (details posted below) was actually FOUND in L6 and taken to Alder Vets in L12 which is why details are in this postcode. The AW's put the postcode of where the caller is ringing from so not always the FOUND postcode. :(
