Please would people in the area surroundng Crystal Peaks keep a look out for my little dog, he is a white with light brown markings. We lost him around 5 oclock this evening, his name is Luke and he has a collar with our telephone number. Any help would be appreciated, thank you

I saw one walking up rotherham road towards morrisons around seven. It meets your description

thank you so much for that information we will check it out

I hope you find him.

thank you for that, we haven't found him yet so please, if you live in that area, keep a look out for him

I hope you find him soon. I can't bear to think of an animal being lost, and wandering, like that.

My own dog escaped from my garden tonight, because someone had tampered with my gate.

I have my garden fenced completely round for safety, and someone had, apparently deliberately, undone the gate I had fastened up. (i have sole use of my gated path, so there is no reason except for malice, why someone should have been on my garden, and fiddling with my gate at almost midnight.

I had opened the door, to let him out, onto the garden for his last wee, and before I had realised the gate was open, and could close the door, he was off from behind my legs.

I can't chase him, properly, because of my mobility problems.

Thank god, a passer-by stopped and assisted me to catch him. it took absolutely ages.

The little swine would not even be enticed by his usual "rustling packets" of crisps/ biscuits....

fortunately, this young woman managed to grab him by his collar, and get him back to me. I am so grateful to her, for her help. I can't express my thanks enough to her.

I had visions of my dog ending up under a car (it was pitch black out, and he is a black dog.... and the nutters that come up and down my road.. they drive like bats out of hell... I was absolutely terrified!)

PT

Glad you managed to catch your dog, I am really worried about our little Luke he is not a young dog and it is such a cold night. We will start the search again tomorrow, thank you for your kind thoughts

please keep Luke in mind he has not come home during the night so we still need as many people as possible to look out for him, thank you

Telephone the Police stations locally, sometimes strays are taken there as a first stop.

They will give you contact numbers of Kennels / RSPCA etc.

Good luck, I would be gutted if we lost our Dog.

oh no! good luck I really hope you find him unfortunately I don't live around that area but I will keep you in my thoughts.

It's an idea to phone the police as his collar may have come off etc. Our cat used to lose her collar all over (although I know cats and dogs do different things!)

I hope you find Luke, keep us updated.

hi there i will look out for him im going to take our dog out in a bit i live across from morrisons byejoanne

thank you for your kind thoughts and help, it is very much appreciated. I have contacted all kennells in the surrounding areas, the police and RSPCA but unfortunately no news yet

Have you registered your lost dog with www.doglost.co.uk yet?

Long shot I know but worth a try.

Good luck and let us know how you get on.

a thought has just occurred to me, rainbow...

there is a kennels, near mosborough (not 100% sure, but I think they are called mossbrook, or mosborough kennels) off mosborough moor.

I believe that they are where "lost/ found" dogs are taken by the dog wardens and the police...

Why don't you try there?

It's quite near you, and it could be that your little Luke has been found, and taken there?

Good luck in your search.

PT

I have just spoken to Dogs Lost what a great lady she was so helpful, and yes I have already been onto Mosboro Kennel but he's not there. I am so grateful for your help

okay... it was just a thought....

sorry to hear that he was not at the kennels.

continued "vibes" for good luck in finding him...

(if it hadn't been for the help from that kind passer-by, last night, i could have been in the same position as yourselves, or worse... perish the thought!)

PT

make sure you push the police. I know when i found a dog wondering around C Peaks where i also live i phoned SY police on the general number and asked to be put through to Moss Way regarding a lost dog. The operator told me they dont deal with them.

I eventually drove to Moss Way with the dog and the kind receptionist took him straight off me and put him in a kennel they have round the bag. I just hoped the owner of the lost dog didn't phone this chap!

Good luck and i'll also keep an eye out when wlaking my pooch later.

Thanks for the information regarding the police, I called last night but only got and answer machine and had to leave a message, I tried again this morning and couldn't get throught at all. We will call round immediately, thanks again

good luck in finding luke,
i know the feeling, our dog runs off a lot but somehow miraculasly reaapears, i know some people who live by that area, will ask them to keep a look out.

Thank you so much, for your help and kindness, no news as yet

just asked the local kids to keep a look out for Luke - remember no news is good news.

Posters are available for people to print off on doglost.co.uk -or even put one in your car-they all help to get dogs back-goodluck!

Have you rung thornbury (berry?) animal sanctuary at dinnington?

Is this your dog, Rainbow? http://www.doglost.co.uk/poster.asp?ID=3148

I was coming through westfield along the road next to the Joseph Glover(road with the foot bridge)Dont know the name of the road, and saw a little white dog with brown markings on its face wandering along the pavement by itself.
This was about 15.30 but its only just registered with me.

Hope this helps.

Am I the only person in Sheffield who kidnaps wandering dogs, and takes them to the police station? :confused:

I think I'm up to 4 now...

i had one follow me home once and i took him in fed him and called the police, they said we do not collect so either

a)let him out for someone else to worry about!!!!!:loopy:
b)fetch him here yourself
c)call rspca
d) keep him!

i was a little shocked they said let him out first! i dropped him off at police station a little wary they would just let him go

can anyone help with the details of where Joseph Glover is in westfield, we dont know the area but want to go and search as soon as possible

I have privated you with details

thank you, my husband has gone to look, i will keep you posted

Joseph Glover - approach the roundabout at Halfway, coming from the direction of Crystal Peaks and turn right. The Joseph Glover is a couple of hundred yards up on the right hand side.

an area bounded by moss way, station rd, and mosborough moor/high st, the crystal peaks side of halfway.

p124 in my (old) a-z

Edit: Doh, beaten to it!

Mr Strix is at CP - I've asked him to keep an eye out on his travels :thumbsup:

Yes the poster is Luke its not a very good one it was taken off a video but it was only filmed last Saturday so we thought a current one would be more helpful.

Did you call thornberry ?

I did call but they close at 3 pm so I missed them will call them tomorrow if we dont find Luke, no luck as yet, thanks for all your help

Hope you find him :(

We had a Jack Russell who we nicknamed Houdini, for obvious reasons. He always came back (even if all attempts to trap him were resisted!) but it was always worrying at the time.

Are you new to the neighbourhood, or does he know 'his patch'?

We have lived here for 30 years and Luke has been with us about 4 years, so he knows the area. I know that there is a chance he will find his way home but that thought somehow just doesn't help. He is such a super little dog and we love him so much its heartbreaking.

Have you put posters up?

Tomorrow we are going to take them around the area. We are going to go out again this evening to drive around the areas that have been mentioned. So if I will not be able to respond to any post for a while I will check the forum as soon as I get home.

We have not found Luke and there have been no phone calls so we start again tomorrow. Thank you all for your kind thoughts and help and please keep Luke in mind when your out and about tonight and tomorrow. I will keep you posted on our search.

I really sorry to hear you haven't found him yet and hope you have better luck soon.

One of mine escaped but luckly it was only for 5 minutes and was on our road. It was my fault for not checking the garden gate.

Just a thought, but why not try putting a post on dogpages.co.uk under the dog chatter area. There are a few people in the sheffield area registered on there and they could help to keep an eye out for him.

Thanks for that I have registered with them but can't post on their forum until the registration has been confirmed. We are planning to take the wanted poster to Royal Mail delivery offices around this area and beyond, in the hope that Postmen will help us. Luke could have roamed out of our area by now, he's been gone for 2 nights, so please if you would you check the doglost site for Lukes picture and keep a look out for him when your out and about today we would be so grateful, thank you.

Sorry to hear about your dog. There's some kind of event on at Rother Valley Park today - a 'duck race' or something? Might be an idea to hand out flyers/leaf;ets to people there to keep an eye out?? Just a thought. Hope you get poor doggy back soon.

Is he likely to be on his way to somewhere he knows/knew? Did you have him in your last home?

No we have been in this house all the time Luke has been with us, but he was a rescue dog but we don't know where he was from originally, thats why we think he could be out of our immediate area

Am going to Rother Valley today if thats any good? Can call and pick some leaflets off you if you like. Am helping to 'man' a stall there so we can give them out if that helps.

MsB

Thank you for your offer we will be at Rother Valley with some posters it would be so helpful if you would hand some of them out for us. Please pm your information

She's on the virgin vie stand near the fire engine, rainbow. She's already left

I'm near rother valley - anything I can do to help ??

We have just arrived home from handing out flyers at Rother Valley which was suggested by the people on the forum who have been so helpful and supportive. I am upset that the thread has been moved from to "events and notices", I am sure that not as many people read that particular forum and therefore fewer people will be able to help. I cannot understand why this has happened and can only say I was very upset whilst handing the flyers out but I am so hurt that someone felt it necessary to make this awful time even worse

MOD: Moved back.

Thank you so much, we off to the Police station to see if they will take a poster and display it for all the police to see, its another suggestion from the forum, thank you all

Just back from the event at Rother Valley. All leaflets given out to dog walkers in the area - nearly all said they walked round the Hackenthorpe/Crystal Peaks/Rother Valley area and would keep an eye out for Luke. I only wish I'd taken more leaflets as I could have got rid of many many more.

Just feel glad to have been able to have done something and let's hope that Luke is found soon and returned home.

And if we keep adding to this thread then it keeps going to the top and getting noticed by lots more people!

Let me know if you have any luck from the woman at Hackenthorpe whose number I gave you tho..Fingers crossed.


MsB

Any more news??

Nothing yet, we have been to the police and left some posters, but they tell me that I should also contact the Derbyshire Police so I am just about to do that, they have given me several numbers to contact, a kennel in Barnsley that South Yorkshire Police use, the dog warden and as a last resort the cleansing dept. We have arrange for posters to be sent to every Royal Mail Delivery office in Sheffield in the hope that the postmen may keep a lookout for Luke and I have posted on another 2 web sites which were given here on the forum. We have just arrived home having driven around everywhere we can think of that he could have gone but no luck. We've had no phone calls as yet.
I would like to thank everyone on the forum for all the help and support, I feel as if I have extended my family this weekend, it's the only good thing that has happened since Luke went.

I have not been able to get an answer from the number you gave but will keep trying

I have spoken to young lady and she's not sure which day she saw the dog, she thinks it was sometime during the week not the weekend, but she assures me that she will be looking out for Luke and call me if she sees him.

Shame about the woman at Hackenthorpe - I was so sure we had something there, but keep in mind that every new person you/anyone speaks to about Luke is another person looking out for him.

I have a couple of close friends in the police - both dog lovers/owners so will have a word with them also so that they can keep an eye/ear open for any new dogs brought into the kennels. Will let you know if I hear anything at all that might be remotely connected. Got your number now so even if you arent on Forum I can get hold of you.

Keep chins up.

We have still not heard anything about Luke so please everyone keep him in mind, thank you

My heart went in my mouth for you when i saw THIS (http://www.southyorks.police.uk/news/details.php?id=1109)

Hmmmm - possibly not the best link you could have given Rainbow at the moment Viking..:rolleyes:

Will ring my police contacts today and get them to have a mosey round the kennels at Attercliffe and put the word out to keep an eye out for Luke.

Not forgotten him and will keep trying to do what I can. Know Strix is on the case as well so hope he is home safe soon.

MsB x

You might want to try calling the Sheffield City Council to see if they have picked him up from side of road. Our cat went missing and called them and found she had been knocked over. Fingers crossed they won't have your dog on records.

I have 2 jack russells and it would absolutly kill me if anything happened to them. My youngest one about 9 months does look very similar markings to yours, with the markings. They are so lovely.

My fingers are crossed for you!
Good luck!
:confused:

Sorry, I was showing Rainbow that i am still looking, whether it be when i am out, or via web sites.

:clap: :clap: :clap:
Very pleased to say that Luke was found this morning by a lady out walking her dog,very cold,wet and thin-at first the lady thought it was a dead cat her Lurcher had sniffed out but on looking further she saw he was alive and called the number on the collar. Luke is now asleep having drunk and eaten profusely-he was found 5 miles away-thanks everyone!

Glad to hear you got your dog back.

oh, that's absolutely wonderful news!

I am so pleased to hear he is back with you!

Thought I might have spotted yours this evening until I read this post. It appears there's another predominantly white with sandy markings JR on the loose out there on Moss Way.

Had just got Millie across the road when we came head to head with the little blighter... fitted Luke's description perfectly with a collar and what looked like a metallic pink name tag. He/she caught sight of Millie (or it could've been me!) and took off, Jack Russle style (ie quick) towards the Joseph Glover end of Moss Way. Never mind 60 seconds...he/she was gone in 10.

I took Millie straight home (platting her legs bless her), and went looking with a spare lead. No joy.

Glad you got yours back tho.

Poor Millie I hope she'll get another chance at her walk, thank you for caring. Luke is fine, very tired still sleeping in between eating and drinking, we've decided not to take him to the vet this evening, he seem in good condition and the vet is not his favourite person so we think he's has enough trauma for 1 day and will have him checked over tomorrow.

Brilliant, best start to any week for ages.
Give him a Bonio from everybody.:clap: :clap:

:clap: yes!!!
I only just started reading this thread, I hoped you'd found him in the end!!:D

Yes! I echo the joyous thoughts and comments.
Great news!

Since reading this I am going to every measure to keep my dogs safe. I am going to get them microchipped this saturday, we have just had a name tag done.
It really put me about reading this post. I really felt for you rainbow2411.

Just to let you all know, You can get your pets microchipped this saturday form RSPCA for only £5.00. It is a one of and you czan just walk in.

It was the contact details on his collar that brought Luke back to us. Chipping would have helped if his collar had been lost and the Police, kennels or a vet were involved or if he had been stolen, it would prove who was his rightful owner.
Luke is very very tired this morning hasn't even got the energy to go for a tiddle, we've had to carry him onto the grass

For people not sure about dogs identity tags, It is a legal requirment, see HERE (http://www.cedts.org.uk/html/dogs_and_the_law.html)

Didn't realise the tag had to have owner's name and address.

We have our dog tagged under the SCC Dog Registration Scheme and the tag they supply doesn't have our name and address, - just their telephone number and the Reg. number.

Don't think there is anything about the requirement in the leaflet they supply.

Neither did we.
It was the people at the rescue centre where we got our dog that told us.

Brude just has 5 phone numbers on his collar. Our home, both our mobiles, and numbers for mine and Mr Strix's mums (for when we're visiting)

There's no room left for addresses. He is chipped though :thumbsup: and that's what the sixth tag face says :)

Hi everyone-I live just outside of Sheffield and when my dog went missing 3 years ago I started up doglost.co.uk to help other owners. It is all F.O.C but members of this forum could help us-by registering your e mail and postcode on our site we will automatically send you a missing poster and you can keep your eyes open!
We can also warn you if their are dog thieves in the area. The website is now one of the fastest growing in the UK-Just shows we are all mad about our dogs!
So please help us get these dogs back! Alarmingly 8 out of 10 dogs we recover have been stolen!
So beware and join us now.

Well, after the fun and games of last week, when mine escaped, I have been and had my little hound-dog microchipped.

bless him, he's not a young dog, but the very idea of him getting away and me not being able to find him has "put me about", so much, i just had to take some action!
