Beyond sad. Their families tried so hard to save them. My thoughts and prayers are with Simba and his family and with Lilly and her family. Fly free little ones, safe now forever; you were and always will be so very loved xxx

My thoughts and prayers are also with all who have been lost and their families, and all who have survived but whose lives have been changed forever. May all who have been lost Rest In Peace xx

It is with considerable sadness that we have to report that firefighters have found Simba and Lilly's bodies. It would appear that in escaping the fire they returned and sought the sanctuary of their own homes. Simba's family have expressed their sincere thanks to everyone who helped in the search for her beloved dogs.

Huge thanks to everyone working to find Simba, and Lily, everyone is v grateful

I've been speaking family friends and to two of the young owner's teachers today. They and her class mates have been doing a terrific job searching for Simba and designing posters. I can confirm that Simba is not at Battersea, Mayhew, Blue Cross and SDK.Last edited: 2017-06-22 17:57:49

A ThunderClap would be great thank you
I know she's distraught about losing him, it's all they really want - their dog back
Still in hospital, she needs good news

We are double-checking the rescues that took animals after the fire. Neither Lily or Samba were taken in by Battersea. Mayhew & Blue Cross are getting back to us.

Thanks, Mary, I was aware. Anything I do will involve both dogs. I need to see if there are any others, as well.
Mary
Hi Nik - A dog called Lilly is also missing and her young owner is in hospital too, see Lost 116463. You may already be aware but it would be great if both could be given some publicity.
Unknown
A message I have just received from a media contact says that the mother of the young owner has basically been at her bedside and has been unable to search for Simba. We need to get some posters down on the ground as well as review social media. We can certainly speak to contacts who have been organising emergency foster.

I now have Simba's microchip
Mary
So pleased to hear Simba's owner is now out of ICU and wish her a speedy recovery. Getting posters put up and the word out that Simba is missing will help to get sightings if Simba is in the area. Make sure all Vets, Rescues and Dog Wardens in the immediate and surrounding area have Simba's photo and details. If Simba is microchipped telephone the vet who he was registered with and ask them to contact DogLost with the microchip number, so Simba can be shown as missing.
mm16
My thanks to everyone for all the ideas - not my dog but my nieces' friends dog
The child who owns her has just come out of ICU & now v anxious (obviously) about Simba (from 24th floor of Grenfell Tower)
You're all wonderful though - thank you so much
NickyB
absolutely heartbreaking - i so hope all these pets are in safe care of battersea or mayhew or blue cross and they can establish whose pet is whose

This is a post from Purple Bone who appealed for donations for pets rescued/found from the fire:
https://www.facebook.com/PurpleBone/posts/10155395589407556
They stated:
"We stayed in close contact with The Mayhew Animal Home & Battersea Dogs & Cats Home & can also confirm that pets are now being taken to Battersea. We have been informed this is looking to increase over the next few days. If anyone is in need of help or temporary fostering, please contact Battersea Dogs & Cats and Mayhew Animal Home."

Hope, and pray for a positivre resul her for young owner (Get Well Soon) And dog.

There are various comments on Facebook that some pets rescued/found from the fire have been fostered through Blue Cross - https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10213216524145646&set=p.10213216524145646&type=3&theater
Has also been stated some were apparently taken to Mayhew Animal Home/Hosptial and others to Battersea Dogs & Cats Home. Is it possible for these orgnisations to provide a list of the animals fostered/taken into rescue?

Post on other missing dog Lilly from Grenfell tower says they are at a leisure centre? Have posted reply.

Captain Lily Looks like a different dog. These owners aren't going to have microchip details, as they will have been destroyed in the fire. Perhaps DogLost could get them from the microchip company by name and address and put them on the system as Lost. 7 days is almost up so if Admin is able to contact rescues and SDK so no dogs are permanently rehomed or worse still pts while owners are in hospital recovering.
skyninchar
not wanting to crash this little pups post, but could one of the admin obtain a list of all the found animals with battersea and get a post done for them

Purple Bone Pet shop who were co ordinating doggie donations said this morning that ALL the dogs are now being cared for at BATTERSEA and no longer at the leisure centre. Fingers crossed for this little one.x

Thanks for info Mary ,what a terrible situation x
Mary
Hi JulieH. I had wondered the same but thought it unlikely being a tower block. Apparently several pets from Grenfell Tower have been taken to Battersea Dogs Home, according to the papers.
JulieH
Oh no , I did wonder if pets were allowed in the flats ,fingers crossed for this little guy and best wishes to his owner x
