Stolen van with dogs inside

[Ruskin]

We've just been reading the flyers on Lordship Lane about the theft of a Streatham dog walker's van with dogs inside which were then unceremoniously dumped in the Sydenham area.

Does anyone know if the animals were recovered as the dog on the poster was said to be nervous and probably unable to find its way home.

Thanks.

There are two other threads on this. Three dogs still missing, out of five. The company involved was local, Complete Pet Care, in Nunhead.

I'm glad there are still flyers on Lordship Lane as the ones in Peckham Rye Park have been removed. These poor dogs have been missing for almost 3 weeks now. A professional dog walking company had their van stolen in SE27 with 5 dogs inside, this happened whilst the dog walker was in a house collecting another dog. Two of the dogs were dumped but as yet no sign of the other three. I know one of the owners and she is absolutely devastated as would any dog owner be in this situation. If people can pass on this information and keep a look out to get these dogs home where they belong.

Yes, please keep this in the public eye. Apparently two of these owners have children, one a toddler, imagine having to explain this this to them and the other an older lady. If they ever come on to this forum, please be assured we are all thinking of you.

Indeed. Feeling very sorry for the owners - plus, of course the lost animals. I'm wondering though if the owners had them chipped? Given the time now, it's likely that they weren't.

Ruskin, apparently they were all chipped. Poor little souls, my heart bleeds for them.

Thanks, Turtle. Do the owners do Twitter etc., I wonder? I know that when the little dog from the florists outside Herne Hill station went missing a few years ago, there was a very rapid/active social media campaign. Unfortunately (as far as I know), the dog was never found but it spread the word very quickly. Three weeks is a long time though.

Dogs Lost are doing a great job, not really up on twitter, perhaps you could spread the word. This sort of thing makes one feel totally useless, but all the publicity everyone can generate can only help. Thanks for caring.

Ruskin, thought you'd like to know, another dog has been found; the cockerpoo Tilly. The lurcher Nina and Yorkie Mattie are still missing, fingers crossed for them.
