I'm so pleased Aurelio is enjoying life in his new home. He's such a stunner and such a lucky boy XX

2011-03-09 18:31 Mollychops

Ive bumped Aurelio as I hear he is doing well in his new home, and also to say a Huge thankyou to Greyhounds in Need for a wonderful donation. XX

2010-12-11 14:16 wrinkles

Aurelia is looking much better, and loving his new owners, Jackie and Norman, who are really spoiling him, and love him so much. Gets on with the other dogs, cats and hens,and loves "hooves" to chomp on when I visit him. I hope all other rescued Galgos get such a lovely home as Aurelia.

2010-11-27 20:24 wrinkles

So far, so good. Aurelia loves his new home, and new doggie friends, and especially his new owners.He has indeed had such an traumatic life so far, and can now relax warm, full and relaxed. He doesnt even want to go out except for a quick wee etc then dashes straight back on to Jackies bed. I hope all the others have a happy end like Aurelia.

2010-11-25 11:43 Hookypup

Yay! some good news for us all! Welcome home....no more running off now :))

2010-11-25 10:07 Goldenfrodo

Fantastic news that his gorgeous boy is now safely in his new home. xx

2010-11-24 23:28 Sylvia

It's wonderful to have such a happy ending. Aurelio is a lucky boy. Jackie and Norman are really nice people and I am glad a 'dog lost' became a 'dog home again'

2010-11-24 20:47 Nigel and Cathy

Have been watching Aurelio since he went missing. Just amazing news! Well done to all involved and good luck to the lucky boy for the future x

2010-11-24 20:15 Badger

So very pleased this lovely boy is now safe and back in the warmth of his new home. Enjoy your new life Aurelio. Well done everyone.

2010-11-24 19:44 dinkydoodle

thanks for the call this morning doglover to tell me the great news! So pleased this lovely boy was rounded up by the kind lady and his new owners have now got him at home, albeit a week or so later than anticipated. If anyone is calling at any of the service areas north and southbound on M5 Gordano to Exeter would they mind letting the duty managers know this chap is home safe and ask them to take the poster down please? Have a very happy life Aurelio.x.

2010-11-24 19:34 Flo

Wahoo what fantastic news!!! So glad this boy is safe, well done everyone x

2010-11-24 17:55 Mollychops

Apparantly this litle monkey walked into his new home like he had always been there[as did my glago I believe uts a common trait] scoffed some dinner and is fast asleep oblivious to all the grief he caused !! Just so pleased this has a happy ending

2010-11-24 14:46 PaulaK

Magic - what a relief - big well done to all those searching and especially the kind people who lured him to the safety of their garage xx

2010-11-24 12:32 Spindle

Lovely news, thank goodness he is safe now.

2010-11-24 12:01 nickyc

I am sooooo delighted....Brilliant news.

2010-11-24 11:44 DogLostJayne - Founder Doglost.

Great news!

2010-11-24 10:10 DogLostNina

Good news that Aurelio is home. If there was a doglost award for care/good deed above and beyond the call of duty I would nominate this caring couple to be awarded it.

2010-11-24 10:07 doglover1

FANTASTIC NEWS, Soooo pleased and happy Aurelio is safe, Welcome home Aurelio, now you can start to enjoy your new life.xx

Whooo hoooooo!!!!! Fantastic news. I will be bouncing round with a permanent grin today. Well done everyone who has made this happen!! Aurelio you are beautiful and have a great new life ahead of you. ENJOY!!!

2010-11-24 09:12 Hominglady

Thank you spotty for this wonderfull happy news and for your phone call. This has been just the best way to start the day. Jackie and Norman will be so excited. THANK YOU SO MUCH TO EVERYONE. Pat

2010-11-24 08:38 spotty

Brilliant news first thing this morning. a phone call from Aurelio"s owners to say he's been locked in the garage successfully by the people who've been feeding him. Jackie & her husband are on their way upto Somerset to extract him from garage (fingers crossed here) and take him to his new home. So exciting & lovely news-all the best today!

2010-11-23 20:11 wrinkles

Cant helping feeling sad about Aurelia and all the other poor lost dogs in this cold weather, when I am snuggled up in bed with a fat Basset, and 2 Shar-pei one of which, Ruby, is trying to pretend she is not quietly sneaking under duvet !Hurry home Aurelia, a lovely warm house waits for you, and two lovely new owners.

2010-11-23 19:13 Hominglady

He was indeed a poor little boy when he first arrived in the UK but look at the difference after 6 months in quarantine. He will be so much loved when he arrives in Cornwall with his new owners - they are a lovely couple. Huge thanks to all who are helping.

2010-11-23 18:49 dewilliams42

jackiemac-hi, no im not the owner, but he is a beautiful boy. yes i saw jacqueline on the site-a real cutie. i have a tiny 13 yr old jrt but not from many tears, hopefully aurelio will be safe soon.

2010-11-23 18:34 JackieMac

Hi dewilliams42. We chose a little Cairn Terrier called Jacqueline (Jac) to her friends. A little cutie and a perfect companion for our other little terrier. Are you Aurelio's new. If yes, where abouts in Cornwall are you. We live in Cornwall too? Have everything crossed for Aurelio being back with you soon. And doesn't he look well compared to that poor skinny scrap on the internet!

2010-11-23 17:05 spotty

Fantastic news. Everything seems to be coming together now; just need to get that garage door shut with him on the right side of it!
Bali

2010-11-23 13:47 dewilliams42

JACKIEMAC- YES IM THRILLED TOO TO SEE HE IS ALMOST CLOSE. I OFTEN LOOK AT MANY TEARS TOO AT THE RESCUE DOGS-OUT OF CURIOSITY WHICH ONE DID YOU CHOOSE. GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR NEW COMPANION AND HAPPY DAYS.

2010-11-23 11:49 Sylvia

Now I'm wondering whose dog it was I saw lost in Great Breach Wood...?

2010-11-23 10:49 ML

Great news. Hope he is caught very soon. xxx

2010-11-23 10:14 JackieMac

Hi had to post. I saw this dog on the internet when it was up for adoption and thought it was gorgeous, but unfortunately too big for our little home. On our way home from Wales on Saturday having picked up a rescue dog from Many Tears and saw the notices posted in Services. Absolutely thrilled it looks like he will be home soon. Good luck Aurelio in your new home!

2010-11-23 09:53 Mollychops

spoken with owners who are back in Cornwall today. The lady who has been feeding Aurelio has been leaving bededing down and food in her garage and he is coming and going on a regular basis which is fantastic!!The DW is going to set up a trap covered in blankets with food inside in the next few days. He is looking confident as whenthe owners saw him yesterday after being alerted to the Little chef, he sauntered out in front of their car without a care in the world. I have explained not to rush this dog. He has got to be caought but it might take a few days.Nicky head office will give you my mobile, please can you call me

2010-11-23 09:11 Mollychops

Thanks Nicky C Im sure the owners would realy appreciate some help. Ive tried ringing for an update, but no reply on mobile. I will try again before I go to work

2010-11-23 06:59 nickyc

I have a free day today (hurray)...anything you want me to do?

2010-11-22 20:28 dinkydoodle

I am sooo relieved to see this boy has been seen and is being fed, he must be really frightened. Perserverance will pay off and well done the fantastic lady who is keeping him within a small area. Come on Aurelio, time to go to your new home in the warm.

2010-11-22 20:06 Sylvia

Wow! This is fantastic news. So far so good. Come on Aurelio, you're on the home straight....

2010-11-22 19:55 wrinkles

Not wanting to jinx anything, but I think it is looking hopeful.A lovely lady has been feeding him and is going to try and entice him into garage with food and blankets.My friends saw him twice this afternoon when they went up there. He came close to their car then took off again. I think I will give them some hooves cheweys to take. My dogs love them, and if he actually settled down in garage to chew one it may help relax him. Just a thought !

2010-11-22 16:55 doglover1

So pleased this lovely boy has been sighted, come on Aurelio give yourself up, willing you home safe. x

2010-11-22 16:50 wrinkles

The owners of Aurelia have asked me to express their thanks to everyone who has been helping in looking for Aurelia, and for everyones kind wishes and support. I have my fingers crossed they manage to catch him. I know he will have the most fantastic home with them. As they have no internet connection, I am acting as go-between in passing messages on.

2010-11-22 16:11 Hominglady

Someone suggested to me that if anyone in the area could get hold of some tripe it might just tempt him into the trap with it's strong smell and they do love the taste. Thanks to everyone who is helping to get this lovely boy back to safety.

2010-11-22 16:05 Wendy Hassell

Come on sweetheart, I'm sure a cosy warm bed waits for you if you'll just take that step.

2010-11-22 15:19 Mollychops

owners are there now and have seen him but he is very timid. The local Dw has been informed and a trap will be set up. Fingers crossed he is caught soon. !!

2010-11-22 15:05 Mollychops

Bumped due to sghtings!!!.A kind lady has been feeding Aurelio for 5 days near the Sedgemoor services.

2010-11-21 23:20 Sylvia

It's always worth checking any found dogs (white/brindle lurchers or even "greyhounds" though as some people aren't sure of a dog's breed when they post)I now am obsessed and can't go anywhere without mentioning him to fellow dog-walkers or googling "found dog south west" every time I come online! Another thing is also dogs can be found some distance from where they were originally lost...

2010-11-21 21:41 DogLostAngus

the found dog mentioned by pollyanna is on our site 26317 - markings are not a match either i'm afraid - I do hope that this handsome lad is found very soon

Huge thanks Spotty you covered miles and miles yesterday and doing loads of postering . It will all help to bring him home x

2010-11-21 16:32 spotty

@Pollyanna; This description says he is entire whereas Aurelio isn't.

2010-11-21 16:10 spotty

Yesterday, 18/11/10 I drove down to Somerset where there had been sightings of Aurelio the Thursday 2 days before. I met up with Sylvia who was confident she'd seen him in woods two whilst on dog walk. We retraced her walk & put up posters on gates, trees & shops in the locality.
Mollychops has contacted hunts & animal shelters alerting them to his predicament. I got phone numbers of local authorities - glued to window of locked up police station in street Glastonbury.
Sylvia was amazingly helpful, kind & knowledgeable of the local area, I took Oony; Spanish galgo with us in case we caught sight of dear Aurelio. Sylvia had her super companion; Misty and we covered a wide area.
Sadly, there was no sign of Aurelio and it's possible that he's moved on. Any sighting - no matter how hestitant, please post them.
He needs us all right now.

2010-11-21 15:50 Spottylove

Hi all, I have just seen on facebook a page called Lost Dogs UK, when I saw this;

Lost Dogs UK FOUND - Arborfield, RG2? 19th Nov. Lurcher entire male. White with brindle. Aged between 2 and 6 yrs. Very dirty and smelly. Lots of small nicks and scars. About 22" high. No ID. http://uk.groups.yahoo.com/group/Animal_Rehoming_UK/message/6916
Any information please contact Mandy Dorman, Animal Warden, Wokingh...am Borough Council on 0118 974 6356. Probably a long shot as it says he's entire, but worth a try. Hope this gorgeous boy is found safe really soon.

2010-11-21 13:00 Mollychops

Thanks Nicky c Dinkydoodle and Furryhound thanks for hard work yesterday X

Local dog trainers have been given this lad's details by a friend of mine at GRWE

2010-11-20 23:00 furryhound

I stopped at Sedgemoor this morning and spoke to people in the car park. Also managed to grab two motorway patrol chaps who said they would keep their eyes open for him. There is quite a big expanse of grass behind the fuel station but I didn't see that until I was committed to going back out on the motorway so couldn't look there. Do hope he turns up soon.

2010-11-20 20:52 Sylvia

Aurelio's details could also be put on alfieslostdogs.com, (free, and a good photo gallery)if someone could maybe do that? I'd be happy to do that but there's a lot of info about Aurelio that I don't know (there's quite a long form to fill in on alfie's)

Last edited: 2010-11-21 01:27:01 by Sylvia

put up or gave this lad's poster in all the service stations from Gordano southbound down M5 to Exeter and back up northbound today. Met a couple who are involved in sighthound rescue and they are going to cross point Aurelio's details on all the forums they are on, if he's not on them already. Come on boy, show yourself.x.

2010-11-20 18:01 Sylvia

Spotty & I went to the woods today and had a good look for him for 3 hours. But no sign unfortunately. It seems he's moved on. I'm putting posters over the area and when I get some more posters, will put some more up. I just spoke to the owner on the phone today and she would like to thank everyone for their kindness and eagerness to help. Where she lives she can't get broadband so can't get to the website.

2010-11-20 10:12 Sylvia

Well, fingers crossed. But the dog I saw didn't have a green jacket. It could have come off I suppose.

2010-11-20 06:02 Mollychops

Thats fantastic Spotty lets hope your beautiful Ooonie lures him out!

2010-11-19 23:32 Sylvia

spotty -I will meet you if you like. And take you up to where I saw him But can't promise we will see him as I didn't today. But you've got to do what you've got to do! I can meet you at BUTLEIGH VILLAGE outside the little shop there at 10am? Is that OK? Let me know. Email me silvia.groves@tiscali.co.uk It's more reliable than my phone. In my cottage the signal is terrible. I don't go to bed early so email late if you like

2010-11-19 22:24 spotty

I hope to be there early Saturday morning. balimartindale@gmail.com or mob.: 07917 161 775

2010-11-19 22:12 doglover1

I spoke to the owners tonight and they've let the mendip dog warden know apparently. By the way, when he went missing he was wearing a GREEN JACKET. It was fastened with velcro, so might still be on him, or just poss. might have come off by now?

2010-11-19 21:40 dinkydoodle

Of course Mollychops, I'll check with furryhound so we can put up posters in all services areas on our travels southbound and northbound.

2010-11-19 21:35 doglover1

Me too Mollychops, cant stop thinking about him, I wish he would show himself.

2010-11-19 20:36 Mollychops

God I so hope this lovley boy is found soon, I look at his photo on the release day from the kennels he has taken his first step into a new life and it realy saddens me come home soon boy

2010-11-19 20:29 Mollychops

Thanks Sylvia x

2010-11-19 20:01 Sylvia

Unfortunately I don't have a printer so can't do posters. But I can def. inform the Mendip Dog Warden if that needs doing?

2010-11-19 20:00 Mollychops

Thankyou Doglover great work as always

2010-11-19 19:31 doglover1

I went back to Great breach Wood was there for 2 and a half hours this morning, but no sign. But I did see signs of recent kills of pheasants, but course that could be foxes. I think that lost dog I saw has moved on. Cannot be 100% it was Aurelia anyway. I tried. I'm sorry no brilliant news!

2010-11-19 18:40 Mollychops

Thanks Furryhound ,and Dinkydoodle, is it at all possible you could drop posters off on the M5 services if you are going that way. That would be fab if you could X

Last edited: 2010-11-19 18:44:27 by Mollychops

2010-11-19 12:38 furryhound

I'm going down the M5 tomorrow so will keep eyes open. We are aware of him in South Gloucestershire but this is well outside our area, it's miles away! Celia

2010-11-19 09:03 Mollychops

Please check for me,Nicky, owners did say they had done this, but if you can email out posters so they know the dog. Celia and Richard are S, Glos, If you could email the South Bristol and Somerset ones as well that would be Fab. Thanks Nicky

He's on Sighthound Welfare Trust forums too. He's a very striking boy that people would notice.

2010-11-19 06:57 nickyc

Have the dog wardens in this part of Bristol been alerted?
I think there's Richard in north and mid Bristol and Celia southward. Do you want me to do it?

2010-11-18 22:29 Jods

be sure to contact St Giles Kennels in Taunton, they recieve many of somersets strays 01823 490333

2010-11-18 21:48 Sylvia

I will go back to Great Breach Wood tomorrow morning about 10-11 and have another look for this dog. Let's hope I see him again, I'll take some smelly food with me (sardines)that a hungry dog might catch the scent of. then hang around a while, see what happens. If there's any news I'll phone owners (got their number)

2010-11-18 20:58 Mollychops

Thanks Nicky its really apreciated x

2010-11-18 20:35 nickyc

2010-11-18 18:42 Mollychops

Thanks DD Sylvia and Thorrockso great work going on here, wonderful re the sighting lets hope its him. Owners live and were on their way to cornwall when this happened , I want to contact all local hunts and farmers, keepers rtc as this looks quite arural area.

2010-11-18 18:21 dinkydoodle

I've sent poster onto a few people I know nearer this area. I'm travelling down the M5 on Saturday so will keep my eyes open. Can owner poster at other services up and down the M5? Stay safe Aurelio until you are found.

2010-11-18 17:53 Sylvia

Saw a dog today 4pm Thurs 18th November, very like this description! In GREAT BREACH WOOD between Somerton and Butleigh Somerset (exact grid reference of the sighting 51-04-42.93N 2-42-06.70W) The dog was obviously lost, tail between its legs running and looked very tired, but OK. I called and whistled it, was going to check the tag on its collar& telephone owners immediately. But though it ran up to me it was scared and took off again running down the field and back into the Woods.
Obviously have no definite idea if this was Aurelio or not. Looked very much like him. There is water in a stream here, and there are rabbits and pheasants if he could catch one. So his survival chances would be good here. If anyone wishes to contact me please do so via : silvia.groves@tiscali.co.uk

2010-11-18 17:51 Thorrocks0

Was this the northbound or southbound side (there are 2 almost opposite). The Weston and Banwell Harriers kennel is quite near there so perhaps let them know and also Whitehouse Kennels is nearby as well. They take in strays for the North Somerset dog wardens I believe. Sanders Garden World ought to have a poster as that is near. I will post one in Mole Valley Farmers in Bridgwater and the Quantock Veterinary centre. Am going to Taunton Deane Services on Sunday to do a collection for Many Tears Animal Rescue so will also take a poster with me then. A dalmation went missing from a house just behind there in September and was found hiding in the fields nearby. It had been scared by fireworks. I think I would be inclined to give fliers to the local farms as it is a quite rural area.
I will be free Tuesday onwards if you still have not found him and want help searching. My contact details are on lost dog 23333.
