Possibly lost Terrier

2011-12-23T19:13:00.000Z

I received an e-mail today with this sighting: At approx 7.15 this morning, it was still dark, I was driving from albourne road and up wineham lane when I saw what I thought was a rabbit running up the middle of the road. I realised it was a small White and brown terrier / jack russell, possibly the one that went missing back in august. I have since seen the post on Horshamdogs and think it may not be the same one as their dog had black head and fur was thinly cropped however the one I saw was a little paler and had more wild hair like a terrier although had thin face like a jack russell.

Anyway the dog was scared of the headlights so I stopped the car, it started coming towards me but then ran off. I caught up with it again just after the bridge with the White railings and sat stationary with my engine and lights off. It circled the car but when I got out it ran up the drive of a nearby house called spinners wood or something like that. My husband said not to worry as it probably lived therefore but I thought I'd send u a message as when I first caught up with the dog it was quite a way down wineham lane and I was concerned it was either an old lost dog or a new lost dog

Apparently Im told he lives locally and is seen out on his own occasionally

Trooper

2011-11-04T18:57:00.002Z

Trooper has now been found and is recovering from his ordeal. 11 year old black labrador jumped our garden fence on Sat 29th Oct 2011 at 7.45pm and vanished into thin air. We have since heard that he was hit by a car on the Dunsfold/ Plaistow Road [West Sussex] about 8.10pm on the same night. Despite attempts to catch him by other drivers he disappeared. He was last seen by Weald Barkfold Farm. We have no idea how badly injured he is. Despite searching for hours in the surrounding countryside there is no trace. Local farmers, keepers etc have been on the lookout. Although we fear the worst we are just hoping he has become disorientated and is lost.

Trooper is a very handsome intelligent dog, very agile and fit for his years, muscular and strong.He has always been a barker and would resist going with a stranger. he is a bit bigger than average for a gun dog, grey muzzle and paws, a wart on the top of his head, microchipped but no collar at the time he went. He is a much loved part of the family and we are devastated not to know where he is. We would be grateful for any information good or bad.

Female JRT went escaped from her collar on Sunday 31st July in the Rustington/Littlehampton area- a day following us adopting her. The last time she was seen, she was running down toward the Worthing Road/A259 near Rustington Golf Course. We were due to get her neutered on the Monday, follow up vaccinations and microchipped. She is a very timid little girl- with new people.

I am extremely concerned for her and just want her back safe and sound.

She is white with smooth coat- half brown(left of face), half white face. Still has her dew claws.
Distinctive black lips- lower one is slightly upturned.

There'll be an article on her in the Argus tomorrow.

Microchip Your Pet For Life!

Microchip Your Pet For Life!

Having a pet stolen or go missing is a heart-wrenching experience for any owner. But by having their pets microchipped, owners can ensure that if their missing pets are found they will be returned to them.

Deciding to have a pet is an important decision and one that results in a commitment to that pet for its entire life. Part of being a responsible pet owner is identifying your dog permanently, for example by microchipping.

As National Microchipping Month 2009 approaches in June, Petlog - the largest Microchip Pet reunification service in the UK - would like to assure pet owners that just as a pet is for life, the microchip and registration on Petlog is also for life.

Managed by the Kennel Club, Petlog prides itself on its customer service and its reliability. With over 3.7 million pets and owners registered, last year Petlog handled nearly 100,000 calls relating to lost and found pets and reunited many animals with their owners.

Petlog understands just how important a pet’s safety is to its owner and has provisions in place to ensure, that regardless of any changes in the market place, they will be there for you and your pet. All pet owners need to do once their pets have been chipped is ensure contact details are kept up to date, which can be done via the web –www.petlog.org.uk – or by calling 0870 606 6751.

National Microchipping Month is a campaign that encourages and promotes responsible pet ownership through microchipping as the preferred method of permanent pet identification. The best way to get involved is by getting your pet microchipped or organising a microchipping event.

Fire crews rescue burrowing dogs

Fire crews rescue burrowing dogs

It took six hours to free the two lost pets from the underground burrow

Fire crews mounted a six-hour rescue operation to find two Jack Russell terriers that became lost in an underground burrow in West Sussex.

Teams used special listening and camera equipment to find the two pets, called Charlie and Rosi, on Tuesday.

They were eventually found in two separate locations in a burrow in Whitemans Green, Cuckfield - Charlie ended up 5ft (1.52m) underground.

Owner Rachel Hartshorn said they saw the woods, got overexcited and ran off.

'Couldn't resist woods'

Ms Hartshorn, from Southwick, who was visiting a friend in Cuckfield at the time, said: "I'm normally quite cautious when walking the dogs because I've lost them once before.

"But they just couldn't resist the sight of the woods and nearby stream, so I let them off their leads so they could enjoy themselves."

She added that she was reluctant to call the fire service but crews were fantastic and she would not have had a chance of finding her dogs without them.

West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service said permission had to be sought from Natural England to dig in the burrows near Haywards Heath.

Rosi was rescued at about 1750 BST, and Charlie was found nearly two hours later.

Both dogs were recovering at home on Wednesday. Rosi needed treatment for conjunctivitis caused by her ordeal.
