Thank you Sue and all DogLost people for this help in finding Mabel
Goldenfrodo
So pleased Mabel has been found x

I had the best day - got to go to the police station and identify Mabel, and bring her back to the kennels (after a long walk round and round the police station grounds!) at last will be able to sleep soundly tonight. thanks to everyone for their concern, suggestions and poster distribution.

Fab news to see Mabel back...Welcome home sweety :)x
Unknown
Have just found out that before you take a dog for a walk, you have to sign in. Unfortunately the person who stole Mabel gave false details. Perhaps some ID would be better such as passport, driving license etc?
B30
Yes guys, Mabel is fine
Unknown
This has made my day that Mabel has been found due to an anonymous phone call? Is her health o.k. and is she in good spirits? I have been so concerned about this girl. Stay safe now Mabel. Loads of love and kisses:-) :-)xxxxxxxxxx
lesleyjane
Phew, great news, is she ok? Hope the kennels will review their policies, and that Mabel finds a loving home soon.

B30
Just this minute had an email to say that following an anonymous phone call Mabel is now back!! Thank you to the person who called. Posters working their magic once again. Welcome home Mabel!!
Unknown
Could I ask if there is any more news on Mabel. Think it would make everyone`s day if she was found.

JULIAKAY-I DONT REALLY LIKE POSTING ON HERE AS PERHAPS THE WRONG PERSON COULD BE READING IT. I HAVE BEEN TURNING MABELS DISAPPEARANCE OVER IN MY MIND ALL NIGHT AND HAD 2 THOUGHTS.1. WHAT DO YOU KNOW OF HER BACKGROUND AND HOW SHE WAS FOUND. HAD SHE ESCAPED FROM THESE PEOPLE AND THEY TRACED HER AND IS THIS WHY SHE CAN BE DOG AGGRESSIVE.2.SIMILAR THING HAPPENED IN THE NORTH WEST WHERE A DOG WAS TAKEN FOR A WALK AND NOT BROUGHT BACK. HE WAS FOUND AND IF YOU HAVE'NT SEEN THE STORY IT IS ON RE-UNITED PAGE 2 AND THE DOGS NAME IS CARLOS. WHAT STRUCK ME WAS THE SIMILARITY BETWEEN THE 2 PEOPLE WHO STOLE THE DOGS AND MAKES YOU THINK ARE THEY CONNECTED-PERHAPS A RING NOW TARGETING KENNELS. IM WISHING YOU LOTS OF LUCK IN YOUR SEARCH.
Unknown
I too am very concerned about Mabel, please God let her be found SOON. Fingers xd and will pray for her again.
juliakay
i have made prelim. inquiries with the rspca - i'll keep you posted. meanwhile, some sick **** keeps sending me txts pretending they know something, when clearly they don't. thanks for your concern anyway. have sent details to a load more vets today. also phoned the wolves police, but they can't interfere if the case 'belongs' to telford police. grrrrrr!
dewilliams42
HI AGAIN, HAVE YOU BEEN IN TOUCH WITH THE RSPCA? IF YOU THINK SHE HAS BEEN TAKEN FOR SOME UNTHINKABLE MOTIVE THEY MAY HAVE SOME IDEA OF WHERE SHE COULD BE AND MIGHT ALSO TAKE SOME ACTION. THEY SHOULD FEEL SOME CONCERNS FOR MABEL.
dewilliams42
WISH I LIVED NEARER SO I COULD HELP. TOO BAD OF THE POLICE AND PAPERS-IT IS AFTER ALL THEFT. WONDER WHAT THEY WOULD THINK IF IT HAPPENED TO THEM.
juliakay
sorry, no news yet. i'm following up a vague lead at the moment - would be nice to have some help from the police, but they are 'too busy' or on holiday... it's just too sad, and impossible to think about anything else
Unknown
Am just checking up on Mabel too. No news then or update?
dewilliams42
HAVE YOU GOT ANY LEADS AS TO THIS POOR GIRL? I CANT GET HER OUT OF MY MIND- I FEEL SO SORRY FOR HER.
Unknown
Was so hoping for some good news today. Come on Mabel. Where are you? Your carers want you back.
Unknown
Just checking to see if there is any news of Mabel. Please let her be found soon and safe and soundxxxx
Julie B
I know you have pestered the papers - but was that by email ? Only sometimes it is better to actually speak to someone as you can get your case over a lot clearer. I am so suprised that they are not helping in this case. I just hope Mabel is safe - although I have an awful feeling about this one. Bless her heart - she must be so frightened. X
juliakay
Thanks Sue. More than a week now... we are putting publicity out everywhere we can think of. can't understand why the papers haven't done stories tho - we have pestered them, and they're not normally shy of animal stories!
B30
Good luck with the meet up today guys.
coralvb
If anybody is able to help, they are meeting at Tesco, Wrekin Retail Park at 5.40 tomorrow to put up posters in Wolverhampton...
B30
Thanks so much ian.
ian wright
i have put posters up in essington hope Mabel is found soon
dewilliams42
I DO SO WISH I COULD HELP BUT I LIVE A BIT TOO FAR AWAY. I WISH YOU LUCK AND HOPE YOUR HARD WORK BRINGS SOME LUCK. SOCIETY SEEMS TO BE GOING BACK TO THE MIDDLE AGES AND I WISH THE POLICE WOULD SHOW SOME INTEREST BEFORE ITS TOO LATE. FINGERS CROSSED FOR POOR MABEL AND ANY OTHER DOGS IN THE SAME SITUATION XX
coralvb
Is anybody able to help put up posters in Wolverhampton on Wednesday night. A couple of the girls from the kennels are going and would appreciate some extra help if anybody has a couple of hours. Yes dewilliams, police informed and next to useless as usual. Telford is in Shropshire but yes still in the Midlands area. So much of this dreadful activity everywhere nowadays and they seem to get away with it.

I SEEM TO REMEMBER A STAFFIE DOG BEING FOUND IN THE RIVER IN WORCESTOR LAST YEAR WHOSE INJURIES SUGGESTED DOG FIGHTING. I THINK TELFORD IS IN THE SAME AREA SO WONDERED IF POLICE/RSPCA ARE AWARE OF SUCH ACTIVITIES IN THESE AREAS. ARE THE POLICE AWARE THAT SHE WAS STOLEN FROM THE KENNELS?
Bilbo's Mum
Have shared on Facebook and another's page really hope she is found quickly.
B30
No news I'm afraid.
dewilliams42
IS THERE ANY NEWS? I JUST CANT GET THIS POOR GIRL OUT OF MY MIND.
Unknown
Hope Mabel is safe. A dog fighting ring went on not TOO far from where I live, fortunately they were caught, unfortunately, the punishment wasn`t much (cant remember exactly what) I do know that it was just like a "Slap on the wrist" Hope someone finds her and gets her back where she belongs. Personally I think we live in a sick society and discipline and respect should be brought back. But that`s another story.......... Stay safe Mabel until you are foundxxxxx God keep you safe.
dewilliams42
CORALVB- I HOPE THE POLICE WILL BE TAKING THIS SERIOUSLY AND THE RSPCA. IF ITS WHAT I FEAR WHY SHOULD POOR INNOCENT ANIMALS BE PUT THROUGH THIS FOR SADISTIC PEOPLES ENJOYMENT. I HOPE MABEL WILL BE FOUND AND THIS SORT OF BEHAVIOUR STOPPED.
coralvb
Thanks for updating etc. It is always better if you can get info straight from the owner. Yes dewilliams, it would appear something is going on around here. Cats protection have issued a warning about people in a van stealing cats in the Lawley area. One person reportedy had hers forcibly stolen from her arms. One might ask why?

THIS SOUNDS VERY SUSPICIOUS AND I FEAR FOR MABELS SAFETY. WOULD THE RSPCA PERHAPS HAVE ANY KNOWLEDGE OF ANY UNTOWARD GOINGS ON IN THE AREA OR NEARBY?

Desperatyely hope that Mabel will soon be reunited. Will pray for her. Have the Police been informed yet? Come home soon Mabel

Mabel was stolen from Hilbrae on Tuesday, about 1pm. A man asked to take her for a walk, and whilst nobody was looking loaded her into his car and took her!!! She is not suitable around any other animals and is also on medication for a heart condition. Without this she could become seriously ill!!! A man who goes by the name of Leon took Mabel, he is around 20years, mixed race, distinctive green eyes, He came with two women, roughly in their 20's, one of them was carrying a baby in a carrier. They possibly drive a silver audi or fiesta. They think he has connections in the Wolverhampton area. He has previously walked up to a man in a park in wolverhampton and commented on how nice his staffies were!! Mabel was stolen when taken out for a walk by a dog walker, he had previously walked her so knew what she was like, he may have had someone lined up to take her once he had her. Mabel is dog aggressive and might be in the illegal dog fighting circles. Last edited: 2011-09-09 21:53:08 by coralvb
