sooo pleased & delighted, like everyone else, that Opal is back home xxx
why the 'ell do 'certain type's ' have to Illegally keep a straying dog ? why can't they be Normal, like the rest of us, & Report as Found etc.?
welcome Home sweet girl,
let's hope that Her 'captors' will soon be charged named & shamed 😈

Just seen this on Canine Partner's Facebook page --
Good afternoon,
As many of you will know, one of our puppies in training, named Opal, went missing at the end of October last year.
We are delighted to say that last night she was found safe and well and is now back in our care.
There is an ongoing investigation in place and if and when we are able to, we will share any relevant information with you all.
Great news.

Please check sighted dog 123794 in case it could be Opal.

Just been advised that dog at Lincolnshire Rescue Kennels is not Opal. Is there anyone that can set up a Thunderclap for Opal?

2017-12-02 09:46 Mary

Has the dog at Lincolnshire rescue been checked as due to be rehomed with finder. They didn't find a microchip but they can migrate, stop working or be removed. Described as white rather than yellow but is very skinny so would fit in with being missing for over a month. It looks like both Opal and the found dog are wearing leather collars. See genie44 entry below for a link.

Hi, I have just seen a female lab found in Lincolnshire, very skinny, could this be Opal? She is at Lincolnshire Rescue Kennels, hope it is her.

Hi Owl. There have been many recent cases when CRNs have been issued under similar circumstances. Theft by finding also being an offence. I suggest they speak to CJ if the police are not willing to give one. I appreciate what you are saying but if Opal is scanned a stolen marker makes it more likely that she will be returned. Needs to be made too hot to handle.

Mary, the police will not issue a CRN unless there is definite evidence that a dog has been stolen. No sightings does not necessarily mean stolen. Plenty of places round there to stay low profile, and the longer dogs are on the run, the better they are at not being seen.

UPDATE ON MISSING PUPPY OPAL
Canine Partners puppy in training Opal has been missing, potentially stolen, since 28th October. She disappeared while out on a walk in the Uttoxeter area, near to the racecourse. A generous donor has offered a reward for her safe return.
Unfortunately, we still have had no strong leads on Opal's whereabouts. We have had potential sightings between Uttoxeter and Doveridge but these are well walked areas and there has been nothing concrete.
The puppy parents, volunteers and local people in and around the Uttoxeter area have been amazing, helping us to search and spread the word. We also want to credit all of you who continue to share the post on Facebook.
There is potential that she may have been stolen, and could be anywhere so we would encourage anyone to spread the word far and wide. Please feel free to share this post.
If you have any information at all that may help us in the search for Opal, please contact us on any of the following numbers:
07584 995247
07770 608648
08456 580480

2017-11-07 20:16 Mary

If there has been no sightings of Opal I would suggest she is reported as stolen and the the Police CRN sent to stolen@doglost.co.uk so this can be upgraded to stolen.

2017-11-07 18:05 Mel

Have you see this puppy. Age not quite the same but I would doubt they would put correct age as this dog has had a lot of interest. Did put it on Facebook. http://www.friday-ad.co.uk/profile/danielle-m-coWjnKiEog==/ads/

2017-11-06 20:54 Unknown

Seems to have gone very quiet on Opals page. Any news?

Good idea Molly. I believe too that some microchips can move. I know of one microchip that actually fell out of the animal

2017-11-04 07:02 Mary

Opal has now been missing a week. It would be a good idea to check all wardens, rescues etc. Again in case her microchip isn't working, as she could be put up for rehoming.

2017-11-04 00:34 Mary

RonnieP. The found yellow retriever is on DogLost. Found in Crowborough, East Sussex. There is stillno photo.

2017-11-03 19:34 Unknown

Any news on Opal? She has to be somewhere

2017-11-03 09:07 Ronniep

Mary please can I check the website address for Found. Thank you

2017-11-03 08:10 Mary

On the off chance please check Found 121574. No photo yet and a long way from where Opal was lost.

2017-11-03 07:51 Mary

Good that Opal is getting plenty of publicity. Is there any possibility of getting this on This Morning with contacts through Guide Dogs? Do Canine Partners have a Duel Assistance dog training co-ordinator perhaps. If not found over the weekend could perhaps be broadcast on Monday by Phil and Holly.

2017-11-03 07:36 Unknown

Thanks Owl. I saw the item on West Mids. Hope Opal is found soon. All xd.

2017-11-02 22:18 DogLostOwl

Good item on BBC Midlands news this evening. https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b09bzvsv/midlands-today-evening-news-02112017 and scroll along to 18.22

2017-11-02 22:17 DogLostOwl

Wispa and I went to track on Monday together with people from Canine Partners and shared our findings with the drone pilot who went next day.

Could a Tracker dog be suggested to Canine Partners if someone could help find Opal? There has been a search party, around where Opal went missing.. And a Drone has been used , I believe; no luck yet. Stay safe Opal until you are found. Paws, and fingers xd.

2017-11-02 14:54 Ronniep

Mary thank you for your suggestions. Your support is really appreciated. We have been putting lots of posters up and handing them out.

2017-11-02 10:55 Mary

I'm sure there is a lot going on in the background here, but important to get lots of posters up and handed out where people walk dogs to get a sighting. Also just posting a poster in mail box will mean it will be taken back to the depot and displayed for all postal workers. I'm not familiar with the area but I do hope Opal is found soon.

2017-11-02 08:53 Ronniep

Mary. Yes happy for her to be shown as Assistance Dog in Training after name.
thanks

2017-11-02 00:54 Mary

Admin can this be shown as 'Assistance Dog in Training' after her name.

2017-11-01 08:04 lolbeck

Still missing and no sightings. I am sure Canine Partners would appreciate a re-tweet. Thanks.
