Thanks for the info. I have done as you've suggested. Have also phoned all the pounds, been into garda stations and vets in the area and stuck up posters so fingrs crossed...

Unfortunately there's been an increase lately in the amount of purebred dogs being stolen so you might have to bear that in mind.

But a purebred dog is just as likely to wander a bit too far and get lost as a mixed breed. Animals can wander pretty far so put up notices in the surrounding towns too. My cat showed up a couple of miles away once!

If you're in the North Kildare/South Dublin area, try contacting the Liffey Champion to see if they'll run a story on it. They've done that in the past and been quite successful, some of the dogs were found.

We were re-united with Shane last night. He was found near Lucan by very kind people who took him in , cleaned the cement from his coat and contacted us via our ad in the Herald.

So, thanks for your support and for anyone who loses their dog - good luck and stay positive. Your hard work looking for them might well pay off.
