A common query to www.lostdogs.ie relates to uploading pictures of dogs to the site. The answer to the problem is that when uploading images to www.lostdogs.ie the image must be a a .jpg or .png type of image and not a PDF or other type of non-image document.

June 6th, 2011We first started using Twitter to automatically post your ads from this site back in early 2009. However, Twitter made some changes a few months ago causing the feature to break (Grrrr)…
We were not planning on fixing it but it seems a lot of you are now using Twitter – so after many requests from you our visitors, this is now working again!

Good home offered in Donegal
April 20th, 2010A member in Donegal is offering a good home to a small young dog to be company for her other dog – whose last companion was stolen. If you can help you can contact us at puppy@lostdogs.ie or through the contact page and we will pass your details on.
We hope to have a “Home Offered” section shortly.
STOLEN PARSON RUSSELS AND JACK RUSSELLS
March 28th, 2010Thank you Enda for allowing us to print details of the e-mail you sent us which concerns the serious problem of stolen dogs.
I have had 3 dog taken in the 6 months, is there some one lifting dogs all the time? We have had dogs at our home for over 40 years and never lost one and in 6 months 3 dogs vanished; 2 Parson Russell’s and a mini Jack Russell, all pure breed but not registered. Does any one know why they are vanishing?
The first 2 went in august. I then bought another Parson dog pup and he vanished last week.
www.lostdogs.ie hope that when a dog is stolen a picture would be put on our website and our aim is for anyone buying a dog to check the website first – in case the dog they are being offered is actually a stolen dog
A new record?
February 1st, 2010“Just like to say thanks after three hours of posting on your website we were reunited with our dog thanks again”
– paul
Three hours? I think that’s a new record Paul!

Hia
My lurcher bailey was stolen last march from castlepollard in westmeath. SHE HAS BEEN FOUND!
A wonderful couple in Kilkenny 5 months ago found her in Kilkenny. They only recently saw her picture on the internet and checked to see if she was chipped. They rang me at the weekend and I confirmed it was her.
I wanted to thank the forum for their help, advice and support. I will collect her at the weekend……I am soooo happy to get my girl back safe and sound.
Thanks and warm regards.

Lost Dog Reunited Story
September 9th, 2009Re-posting a great story from a lostdogs.ie member ClaireBoyles – Claire was reunited with her dog Sasha thanks to the site. Great news Claire and we appreciate you telling your story!

I rang the DSPCA, local vets, Garda stations etc but no one had found Sasha. I honestly didn’t think I’d ever see her again and I just hoped that she’d been found by someone who would give her a nice new home & that she was safe.
I received a phone call from a lovely lady called Brenda who had a little brown & white dog who’d been found in the Phoenix park. She asked me did Sasha have a collar, and what colour was it? I told her green leather- I’d bought it in Italy for her last summer. So sorry, said Brenda this collar is black- best of luck finding Sasha. I was really disappointed, but there wasn’t anything I could do.
5 mins later Brenda rang back- her collar IS green :)
I was delighted, I couldn’t believe it!! Sasha had been found!! I can’t remember the last time I was so happy about hearing some news!!
Sasha had been found in the Phoenix park very muddy on Thursday morning, near the President’s residence & one of the members of staff knew Brenda and knew that she had been looking for a dog so they called her. Brenda & her 2 teenage children then set about seeing if anyone had lost a dog, because Sasha was obviously someone’s pet – not a stray. They got onto the internet and found her on www.lostdogs.ie and rang me. :)
If it wasn’t for twitter & the amazing amount of help & support that I received – and people telling me about the websites for lost dogs I would never have found her. I am SO grateful, thank you everyone who helped find Sasha. I am so delighted that there is a happy ending to this story!
As you can see from the picture she is very happy to be at home again. When I picked her up on Saturday I’ve never seen her so excited & delighted to see myself & Goldie. She doesn’t understand how well known she is- this morning on our run someone shouted over to us across the road that they’d seen her in Phoenix park & glad to see we’d been reunited! Let’s hope she’s learned her lesson- I certainly have, she’s not getting off the lead again at night I can tell you!
