Can you take to vet to see if the dog is microchipped. Also post details on Dogs list as a dog found. There may be reports of a missing dog matching the description.

It is great you are taking care of this dog.

[Benjcooper]

Just an update - the dog is still at ours and is safe. We're taking him to the vets now, again if this is your dog please phone me directly and happy to help.

A long shot, but please check this link. If stolen, the dog may have been taken a long way.

This is the phone number for Southwark?s dog warden - 0800 952 4444. I think they come and collect the dog...

Hi all, for an update:

We have taken her to the vet, she is microchipped and registered to an address in Hampshire, she is 5 years old and called Mika. The vets have the owners phone number & email address and are chasing, we've left our details with the vet if they get back to us.

We are chasing up local vets to see if anyone has called about her.

We have registered her to the DogLost website.

We DONT want to call the dog warden as if she is not rehomed she will be put down.

We will be calling Battersea by the end of the day if noone comes forward.

PLEASE TELL YOUR FRIENDS AND SEE IF WE CAN FIND THE OWNER OF THIS DOG.

She is a very happy chappy and has been fed.

Such an act of kindness, well done for caring so much . She looks a lovely dog. I hope the story has a happy ending please keep us posted.

[exdulwicher]

She's lovely - well done for caring for her so well. Please let us know the outcome!

I actually saw this lovely dog, with what I assumed to be the owner, 2 days ago.

If memory serves me right, he was turning in, where Barry Rd & Underhill Rd meet {where the notice board is}.

He caught my eye, because I saw a big black dog bounding freely down the road, as if he'd just been taken off his leash.

The guy was tall, black, short hair {may have been wearing a cap}, with the leash bundled up in one hand.

[Benjcooper]

Thank you for the udpate, if anyone has the contact details of this gentleman please can you reach out.

What a lovely dog, glad she came to you and you are looking after her so well! Fingers crossed for a happy ending.

[ED Bird]

It may be worth putting a note on that notice board. He doesn't seem to be active on these forums. But I'll repost it on FB.

Oh gosh. I didn?t know that. Great call taking her to the vet. Really hope they find her owners.

[lilolil]

Also, and I'm sure you will, make sure you see proof of ownership like photos on a phone.

[first mate]

Yes, you cannot assume the person she was seen with was her owner.

So glad you took her to vet and not Dog Warden or RSPCA. If no owner identified Battersea or Dogs Trust would be better.

She looks lively. Clearly a great temperament to allow herself to be handled by strangers.

Seconded on avoiding places that will put her down if not rehomed. She is chipped so I think it is worth hanging on for a few days to see if the registered owner can be found. She may well have been stolen at some point too, but if the registered owner rehomed her, there might be a lead there too.

I would love to keep hold of her for a few days but unfortunately I have a 4 month old puppy who has not taken kindly to her being in his space.

[Benjcooper]

OWNER FOUND. The owner has been found and has come and collected his lil girl. She is safe and sound and probably very very tired! Thanks all for your help.

Ahhh well done, where did the dog go missing?

[Se22rules]

I found her wandering in the road at the top of Barry Road, by the church, at 11:30 last night.

[first mate]

Fantastic result and thanks to all concerned. With the sort of weather we have on its way you hate to think if any animal being lost.

[Blah Blah]

Great result and well done for making the effort.
