Very sad outcome, the bullies appear to have won. I really do hope this is the best outcome for Sara and I wish the owner all the very best for the future.

Glad it's now resolved. Hard situation for all emotionally involved and actually part of her life.

Sara's owner has contacted me and has told me that she has now surrendered Sara over to the foster people so no longer classed as missing/stolen, she would like to thank everyone for their support but feels this is the best situation for Sara.

Duplicate posting.

As there is a CRN should this not be updated to Stolen?

You don't need a pet passport to leave the UK by EuroTunnel and not all the ferries check going out but they all check passports and scan microchips coming into the UK.

Who has Sara's passport?

2016-12-16 10:12 DogLostVetsGetScanning

Sara's page is quite confusing for anyone just coming to get an update! I just found this and hope it helps clarify what has happened so far.

Sara was adopted in the UK from a rescue in Cyprus, after 6 days she was spooked and slipped her harness. Her previous foster from Cyprus came to help search for her. He caught her on Mon 12th December but has since held on to her and is refusing to return her to her owner stating he wants to return to Cyprus with her. He is trying to leave the country as we speak. We think that he may well still be in Suffolk so anybody local please share everywhere to your vets to friends that work at ports, hotels etc incase they have been staying there. Any info call Suffolk Police on 101 or either number on the poster attached. Thank you

They shared lots of posts like that but Teresa thought they were helping her at the time till they did what they did.

It's the top visitor post on this page https://www.facebook.com/ThePetDetective/?ref=ts&fref=ts

Strike that I can see it.

2016-12-15 22:00 tonya

I can't see it but irrespective of that albeit not true they do not own Sara!

2016-12-15 19:45 Skywalker99

Good. There is a post by Sara's foster mum on the pet detectives Facebook page. My interpretation of the post and its associated poster is that the foster parents were conducting their own search for Sara independent of her owner....but that is only my interpretation.

2016-12-15 18:52 bdurrant

Yes there is,

2016-12-15 16:43 Unknown

anyone know if there is a CRN for this one now?

2016-12-15 09:20 Skywalker99

Doglost can not give legal advice, I would suggest owner contacts Trevor Cooper at www.doglaw.co.uk, they have an advice line that charges premium phone rates (£1.55 per minute) so no huge initial outlaw for legal fees. Other experts in law relating to dogs are firms like wheldon law.

2016-12-15 08:50 HelperHelen - Dog SOS Derbyshire

This situation is so sad and the poor owner is being pressurised to sign Sara over by the foster people and other people who have Sara and yes it is bullying. The rescue people in Cyprus are trying to resolve this and it's not them who don't want Sara to go back to her owner.Can DogLost give her legal advice?

2016-12-14 22:58 Skywalker99

I really hope this gets sorted out. If not I guess the rescue will have one less home checker and one less foster family...

2016-12-14 22:19 DogLostHelen - Regional Co-ordinator - Norfolk, Suffolk and Cambridge

I was the person who put Sara over to reunited when she was caught and was safe. This awful situation didn't happen until she caught but yes I agree that she should still be in the lost section as not yet reunited with her owner.

2016-12-14 21:47 Unknown

I take the point about Sara not being reunited. Technically she has been found, I suppose. However, to be fair to the person who did turn Sara to reunited, it may not have been obvious what was going to transpire. I can turn her back to lost if you think that is the right thing to do.

Nik - I think bdurrant is saying that the dog has not yet been reunited with her owner i.e. the person who bought her and has the papers. Usually DogLost would wait for confirmation from the owner that they had been reunited before changing to blue.

2016-12-14 20:52 bdurrant

jane she rung both numbers,and just got answerphone,Nik,you are right,he would love to have her dog back,as the reunited is not right,the foster parents are not giving the dog back,I am sorry,I just always thought this group was helping,I do apologise,I will delete my posts,but pkease do not put"reunited"when she is far from it,sorry asking for help,I will not do it again

2016-12-14 20:22 Unknown

Whilst I understand that you are all concerned for the welfare of this dog, DogLost is here to help reunite dogs with their owners. I am not sure that this is the place for the discussion on what happens next. The most positive thing you can do is to express your concerns directly to the rescue.

bdurrant who did this lady ring? have no messages on my answerphone...

2016-12-14 19:30 Teresa

I'm totally disgusted by this situation. The dog belongs to Teresa it is so wrong what is happening here!!!! Poor woman needs help and shouldn't be subjected to this and she is being bullied by certain people!!!! That is fact!!!

2016-12-14 18:57 bdurrant

This lady needs help!!She rung but only answer phone,I titally appreciate you all busy,but please help her

2016-12-13 15:47 Bo

What bickering? Just different points of view , some based on fact and some based on emotions. As I said bdurrant, it's a civil matter IMO but I'm not emotionally involved as I'm not adoptor, foster carer or rescue.

2016-12-13 15:10 bdurrant

The rescue messaged me and told me they have asked the foster to give the dog back to the owner,but they won't!They are claiming the dog is depressed,but not taking her to the vets.The woman who is haboring the dog and foster,is married to a policeman.If tgat dog is depressed she really does not need to go through that awful journey again,but needs a quiet calm bed and her new mummy.It is getting out of control,if the foster family wanted her,they could have adopted her,they didn't.So she needs to go back asap for the sake of the poor dog,it's awful what is going on here.

2016-12-13 08:48 DogLostSandra Watt

This bickering is getting out of hand now! The owner has paid for and will have ownership paperwork for Sara so the dog should be returned to her. Well done to the fosterer to help with finding her but they should now hand her back to her rightful owner and give her a chance to settle in to her new home. It must have been traumatic for Sara to be flown over from Cyprus and then go to a new home. Give her, and owner, a chance to get to know each other and enjoy a good life together.

2016-12-13 08:35 Mel

PLEASE!! Xxx

2016-12-13 08:33 Mel

This has got out of hand I think. All I can say is my 3 border collies are lying in front of the fire, happy and relaxed, that's where this beauty should be. Please think of her, give her a lovely Christmas, let her get settled in with her new family.

2016-12-13 08:13 Skywalker99

Bo - I didn't make a statement of fact, I said probably. The one thing I know about lawyers (I have 4 in my family) is that they can have different views usually only give opinions. I am struggling to think of a clause that might be in the adoption agreement that means the foster family can take her back without the consent of the rescue, perhaps you could tell me what it might say?

It's Sara I feel sorry for, goodness knows where she is now and where she will end up, all this could of been sorted amicably had her original foster carers not stolen her the way that they have. There is actually no proof she is even with her previous foster carers apart from a 32 second video that could of been filmed anywhere at anytime, and her poor owner subjected to a barage of emotional blackmail in a group message by numerous people, nothing more than a bunch of bullies and yes I have seen this for myself Bo as have you I believe. Poor Sara who knows what the future holds for her now and she had a new forever home now what? Dragged back to Cyprus only to be adopted out again or maybe she is closer to home Bo?

2016-12-13 08:00 bdurrant

Well,if your sister is in the Police,than you must know that holding the dog in your house with the foster dad is totally illegal,unless the police is turning a blind eye,which would be very worrying.Even the rescue is upset about all of this.I'm glad you think you have the right to keep the dog at your house,when the owner paid a lot of money for her.

2016-12-13 07:10 Mel

I am a bit confused with all this now, but what I do know is that the one who will suffer most is the dog. She will end up in kennels, sad and lonely whilst we humans sort it out' and put injunctions on this and that. Hope it can be sorted out amicably and putting the dogs feelings first.

2016-12-13 06:40 Bo

Ah Skywalker99 - I didn't realise you'd seen the adoption paperwork agreement and can make that statement based on that fact. I asked my younger sister who's a police Inspector and older sister who's husband is a lawyer and both said it's a civil matter. Perhaps you do indeed know better.

2016-12-12 22:28 Skywalker99

Actually Bo it probably is a police matter because if the owner has not signed her over it is probably theft. The owner needs to get some legal advice. Or contact the press. Should be easy enough to get an injunction to stop her being taken out of the country

2016-12-12 22:24 Bo

Ah sorry I didn't realise you were there with them so witnessed the bullying -

2016-12-12 20:47 bdurrant

well bullying the adopters into signing er over all day long is totally out of order.Tat home checker sounds like a very nasty piece of work.They need to bring her back to the family so she can settle in and not dragged back onto an aeroplane.The rescue is not happy about what is going on with the foster family either and trying to persuade them to give her back to owner.

2016-12-12 20:41 Bo

It's not a police crime it's a civil matter. It's awful that a vulnerable rescue dog escaped her harness and was running loose for nearly two weeks. It's amazing that her foster family cared that much about her they flew back from Cyprus to help catch her. It's sad for the adoptors but understandable feelings are running high.

2016-12-12 20:29 bdurrant

It is really awful actually,they ae bullying the owner to sign her over to the foster dad,the home checker is involved as well.I am so shocked how cruel people can get.ell I really hope te police will help the family.I have no idea why some people can be so selfish and cruel.Totally shocked,never thought this sort of thing is going on.

2016-12-12 19:25 bdurrant

Well I got it wrong,the rescue is not asking for the dog back,the foster parents want to keep her,and the rescue is trying to help both,the foster as well as the owner and has offered the owner any dog at all.Which I think is awful,you don't just exchange dogs just like that.So the foster dad has got her at someone's house who is also involved in keeping her away from the owner.And I guess they booking her on the next flight.

2016-12-12 17:17 Bo

The legal situation depends on the adoption contract. I couldn't comment on any "emotional manipulation" because I don't know the people involved.

2016-12-12 17:03 Skywalker99

I doubt that legally 'not yet bonded with adopter' is a reason to take her back....and not allowing owner to see her says they are worried about something...perhaps the rescue would like to comment on their reasoning...the view I have formed is that they have emotionally manipulated the owner to meet their own ends. Will they be flying her back to the UK again when she is re-adopted? nuts!

2016-12-12 16:58 Bo

What's the link

2016-12-12 16:54 Baydogs

Bo, maybe looking at the FB page would help to discover more ?

2016-12-12 16:52 Bo

Without knowing all the facts it's difficult to say what's best for this dog. She's thankfully survived and safe.... that's the main thing. Rather than criticise and leave comments on a hardworking rescue's FB page, perhaps better to channel efforts on helping people find their dogs eh?

2016-12-12 16:49 bdurrant

The problem is,they are only foster parents and once she us settled again,they will put her up for adoption again so hardly in the best interest of the dog pushed around she will settle with her new mum in no time,trouble is they all talked the new owner into giving her up as its for the best

2016-12-12 16:27 Mel

Come on, I'm sure she would soon settle in with her new Mum. I honestly cant believe that they are having a tug of war over this poor dog. Grow up, she can soon settle in here without putting her through the trauma of flying again. Think of the dog x

2016-12-12 16:23 Baydogs

Does this rescue have an FB page bdurrant?
If so, could you please provide a link.

2016-12-12 16:17 bdurrant

On the grounds that she lives her fosterdad to much and not yet bonded with adopter(she only had her 6 days) but looks like owner just givn up,it was quite a fight to even know where the dog was,no one was telling her.It's emotionally very draining,to be honest

2016-12-12 16:07 Skywalker99

On what grounds have they made this decision? I would have thought that unless they have evidence the dog was not being properly cared for they are breaking the terms of the adoption contract....?? Just sounds nuts to me, and not good for the dog.

2016-12-12 15:47 bdurrant

The rescue wants her back,and using donated funds to do so,I think new owner is just emotionally distraught and just wants to put it behind her.She asked if she could see her but the hone check woman and the fosterdad are not allowing it.The poor dog is shaken up and so the best thing to do is fly her miles and miles back to Cyprus,makes sense,NOT

2016-12-12 15:40 Skywalker99

Yes, I would not put an animal through the stress of transport by air unless absolutely necessary..and if her new owner had adopted her, paid adoption fees etc then I would say foster parents are stealing, suggest owner takes legal advice and rings Trevor Cooper at www.doglaw.co.uk

2016-12-12 15:24 Mel

It all sounds like sheer madness. Why cant she just stay here in the UK and enjoy her new life. She will be a bag of nerves by the time she goes back to Cyprus; who says she has to go back? How common sense prevails. Good luck 🍀 xxx

2016-12-12 15:24 bdurrant

the foster parents,still not right,the owner gas an empty dogbed,food toys,all because the dog got away,which happens to soo many people,it's nit nice but it is not a crime,she wasnlt even allowed to see her

2016-12-12 15:14 nicolapicola

It took 12 hours to get my dog to UK from the airport in mainland Greece (she had to be checked in SEVEN HOURS early for the flight! Not including the travel from my Greek home to the airport (5 hours in 40 degree temperatures - no aircon in the car). I would never put her through that again (it was necessary at the time). Poor Sara - let's hope it can be stopped. Who will look after her in Cyprus if she goes back?

2016-12-12 14:53 bdurrant

No they are flying her back,obviously less stressful hours on an airoplane than giving her back to her adopter,she didn't even know where she was until an hour ago.I have rescue dogs myself from Cyprus and this is shocking

2016-12-12 14:42 DogLostHelen - Regional Co-ordinator - Norfolk, Suffolk and Cambridge

Sara was caught this morning so thankfully is safe, this all has developed since Sara was caught, hopefully it can be all sorted out quickly so Sara can settle in to her new life here.

2016-12-12 14:39 Skywalker99

why?

2016-12-12 14:34 bdurrant

She is being flown back to Cyprus,shocking really

2016-12-12 13:35 Skywalker99

Is she back with her owners? If not then not really reunited...

2016-12-12 12:36 Hollieberry

I am so pleased that Sara is safe after all this time, well done to everyone who helped catch her .

2016-12-12 11:20 BigGSDPatlucky

Just one question Meg why

2016-12-12 10:50 Meg

This may be have to handed to police. The foster people who found her are refusing to hand sara over to the owners ....!

2016-12-12 09:34 DogLostHelen - Regional Co-ordinator - Norfolk, Suffolk and Cambridge

Thankfully Sara has been caught and is safe x

2016-12-10 10:12 DogLostHelen - Regional Co-ordinator - Norfolk, Suffolk and Cambridge

Sara was seen last night in the woods, a BBQ was lit with the hope that this would entice Sara, the food from the BBQ was left in a quiet area.
Sara is a very scared girl and plans are being made to bring her to safety, please do not go out searching for Sara now, we need her settled in one area, however if you do see her please report the sightings immediately to the owner so her movements can be tracked.

2016-12-04 11:31 DogLostHelen - Regional Co-ordinator - Norfolk, Suffolk and Cambridge

sadly no news or sightings of Sara yet.
The Dog Warden has been notified and local vets in the area, also the Police and Network rail.
There are posters up in the area and plenty of people on the ground looking out for her.
Sara is very scared, if you do see her please contact the owner immediately on the number on her poster.

2016-12-02 23:42 csquaredb

From original FB post: Sara is a Cypriot rescue. She is a very kind and friendly girl but very scared. She has only been in the UK for 7 days.

Hope she's found soon xx
