Greg has contacted us here at www.lostdogs.ie and would like to advise dog owners who have lost their dogs that they should contact county councils run pounds and also their ISPCA branch.
An urgent message has arrived asking if you can re-home any of these dogs from A Dogs Life as they are to be put to sleep very soon. Please help them if you can and pass on the message.
Kind regards
Lostdogs.ie.
It is great to see so much reunited dogs on the www.lostdogs.ie site. Users of the site who have lost dogs report that it gives them great encouragement to see so many reunited dogs.
This is a nice story about a reunited dog which was lost for 54 days in the Nevada Desert. http://www.foxnews.com/us/2012/03/05/dog-reunited-with-owner-after-surviving-53-days-in-nevada-desert/
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.
We 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!
Upload your photos and spread them across Twitter
A 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.
Thank 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
“Just like to say thanks after three hours of posting on your website we were reunited with our dog thanks again”
