Bit of a long shot but there's a little tan boy found in Pendleton, not a million miles from Farnworth, on Dogs in Salford's facebook page. Sorry, this is my first post - I'm not sure exactly how to do the links.

I have a couple of hours free again tomorrow afternoon so can go out looking again. Could owner please contact me on 07920 427843 with any info that might be helpful? (Susannah who text you last week) Thanks

Haven't had chance to update but unfortunately I'm not sure on the below dog, the Animal Wardens have said the dog had gone before their warden got there :(

Shared on my FB page. I realy hope he's home soon. xx Keep postering and contacting as many resuce centres, vets etc as you can.
DogLostJackalee (Kathryn) - Area Co-ordinator - Greater Manchester
I've emailed the scenting and plotting instructions to you Digsbys-mum.

Start to make a note of the date, time and where the sightings are, we can start to build up a picture of his movements and anticipate where he is. If you need anything you know where I am.
DogLostJackalee (Kathryn) - Area Co-ordinator - Greater Manchester
POSSIBLE SIGHTING of a dog matching Digby's description around the moses gate country park area (top canal) more in the Little Lever area than the Farnworth side! Been sighted 3 times this week! Please keep an eye out if you visit there this weekend.
Susannah
Posters now left at Moses Gate Country Park, Doe Hey Park and handed out at factories and workshops at Industrial Park off Cawdor Street.
Susannah
Thanks, Jackalee. As Digby's mum might be at work and unable to see my previous post, I shall text her on the mobile number she's listed and hopefully get some info about where best for me to go walking this afternoon. Assume that's okay, and why contact numbers are given...?
DogLostJackalee (Kathryn) - Area Co-ordinator - Greater Manchester
I've just heard back and the found is a mastiff cross and not Digby :(
DogLostJackalee (Kathryn) - Area Co-ordinator - Greater Manchester
Thanks Susannah, can't get in touch with the AW's so have sent them an email for further info, will keep you posted.

Hi Digby's mum, just seen this on Animal Wardens site:

Worth checking....

Have you heard of any sightings? Where do you usually walk Digby? I have a free couple of hours this afternoon and I can go out walking my dog in the area you usually go with Digby. I'm in Harwood, BL2.
Digbys_mum
Still no news about Digby!! Please keep him in mind, I just want my boy back home!!
DogLostJackalee (Kathryn) - Area Co-ordinator - Greater Manchester
skippy, thanks for posting the found dog. I have had a reply from the Animal Wardens


Hi,

All we have is small brown cross breed, was wearing a black studded collar but no microchip was found. Dog was taken to Leigh Cats & Dogs home, you can contact them to find out what happenned on 01942 671 215.

Thanks
Animal Wardens

A family member visited Leigh yesterday so it is unlikely to have been Digby. Please all keep looking for Digby.
DogLostJackalee (Kathryn) - Area Co-ordinator - Greater Manchester
Digbys_mum, you are doing a great job, keep going :) I have just sent you an email containing lots of advice, some of it you have already done but hopefully it will give you some ideas.
Digbys_mum
We visited Leigh cats & Dog home today but had no luck. One of the Warden's also phoned me today, after I had e-mailed them from the link Skippy provided below. She was great & asked for more photo's of Digby, It's comforting to know people do care & are looking out for him. It's such a gut wrenching feeling to lose him, fingers crossed we strike lucky soon... Ty all for your help <3
DogLostJackalee (Kathryn) - Area Co-ordinator - Greater Manchester
Fingers crossed for you.
Digbys_mum
Thank you for all your help... We are going over to Leigh cats & Dog home today so I will keep you all updated..
Susannah
I'm in the BL2 area and will go out tomorrow morning with posters. Digby is so very cute ... hope he's found very soon.
skippy
may be unlikely, but animal wardens have a crossbreed listed - picked up 10th May - described as small rather than medium and brown tan rather than striaght tan so not the best match.....

  • If your dog is microchipped please let the microchip company know that your dog is missing and check that all details are up to date.
  • Owners targeted by a malicious hoaxer demanding money for the return of their dog should phone the police on 101 immediately and contact admin@doglost.co.uk
