At the time of this girl missing I was her owner. As this little adventure has set her back she is no longer up to the drive back to North Devon she is now in the care of DDR. where I really hope she gets well. I would like to thank every who took part in the search for Quaka, especially my partner who did most of the driving from devon to dorset and back again thank you all

Crikey !!!! Thanks!!! points taken......

Fluffylegs - you have a really good heart, everyone recognises that. I get very enthusiastic too, and have had my knuckles rapped a few times by the long-timers. It's a matter of working with and thru' the D.L. team, they know a lot more than they dare say sometimes, coz they work with police and others - and dog thieves do read these postings. they are the filth of all society, and too much info can be dangerous. Keep-up your work fluffylegs - your enthusiasm is contagiious and fuels those feeling in despair over their missing doggies.

So pleased to be able to reunite this girl, picked up by the police on the road to Dorchester and delivered back to her foster home on Portland this morning. She has a swolen leg and sore feet so off to the vet to be checked over in the morning after a good feed and sleep.

Text from BabsC last night to say that she spent a while looking around the area we think Quaka was last seen but no sign of her. Thanks BabsC, our help is much apreciated.Last edited: 2012-07-22 13:09:11 by poochpal- Regional Co-ordinator South West

IWill get your details from admin and give you a call BabsC. Thank you for the offer to help.

2012-07-20 00:00 Fluffylegs

I apologise to Dog Lost, the owner and Fed Up and to yourself Poochpal....and if I was overzealous in my wording I apologise for that too and for becoming too concerned about Quaka's welfare when it was beyond my remit to be further involved, so once again Im sorry for that too.
I hope the dogs are found very soon and are or become safe and well as soon as possible.

2012-07-19 18:29 DogLostpoochpal- Regional Co-ordinator South West

I have been at work all day so only just catching up on this, had I been around I would have deleted your post, Fluffylegs. The posts from Fedup had clearly stated that the owner is in touch with the dog warden and I have told you myself that the search is under control. There are other factors to consider in this case and a lot of work is going on behind the scenes. We have not posted all sightings, confirmed or otherwise as we do not want lots of people searching and frightening her. You have my telephone number, please call me if you need to know anything rather than posting in a way that could be upsetting for an already distressed owner and helpers.
That said I apreciate that you have apologised and I hope Fedup can accept that the post was not meant to offend.
Thank you also to Reynard for calming the situation, now let's just concentrate on finding Quaka.

2012-07-19 16:22 Fluffylegs

Fed up...Im really sorry I do apologise I didnt mean to offend anyone. I live a long way off but elected to be helpful with these 2 dogs, so Im sorry if it appears like interferring. In a way its inevitable as one is trying to work out from afar how to help and with no information available other than a message from fed up saying no confirmed sighting in 2 days it really did sound like a fed up call for some help!!! I'M REALLY SORRY IF i MISINTERPRETED THE COMMENT.
The suggestions I made were only ones that I have made to others searching for dogs lost which have proved to be helpful and the comment about the olympics was an obvious one of course but only a confirmation of concern.
I'm really sorry that Quaka is still missing and it must be a big worry for the owner. Anyway it sounds from the post that you have the search pretty well organised and that is a good thing so very good luck and I hope the lovely girlie is found safe and well very soon and I'm off to dog walk with little Sasha's owner that we found last week who'd been missing for 10 days; we're going to try tellington touch harnesses, gen con and see if we can get her organised to safe walking.
Dog Lost is a great organisation and the really helpful aspect of it is the ability to share information on here about the highs and lows of searching, people tend to follow the tails! of the lost dogs and share in the delights of the finding and the sdanesses of loss or the sheer misery of just not knowing what has happened to your dog, as with Sid down here, gone for 7 months but owners keep up the hope and we're re postering again tonight.
SO take care and good luck and if any of you have a mo an update wld be great to keep in touch. xxxxof hope from daft springer spaniel !!!

2012-07-19 15:35 Reynard

fedup ,,,,please dont get offended very difficult to get accross that help is on hand when all you can do is list on here,,,,,take it as advise and not a lecture ,, we had know way of knowing what the owner was doing and what she/he was up against,,it is indeed difficult to maintain when at a distance ,,,but she/he is not alone,,,,so lets work together try and keep us updated and we will do all we can to help,,its about Quaka (& Quivva) & all the other missing dogs ,,,,,,we dont have egos here on doglost .x

2012-07-19 13:42 Lynda Carol

Fluffylegs. On behalf of Quakas owner. Quaka went missing in Portland her owner lives in North Devon a distance of 215 miles away. These past 12 days owner has driven well over a thousand miles back and forth. Owner has done everything possible to bring this dog to notice. Owner is well aware of when olympics start and knows, that the present level of search will not be able to be maintained. Owner is in touch with dog warden and the sightening of quaka at fishermans hut was unconfirmed, locals had not seen her.Owner has been plagued with texts/calls of unconfirmed sightenings. Only confirmed sightening of this dog was the 11th. A sightening of dog 2day is awaiting confirmation. Owner doing all that can be done. Last edited: 2012-07-19 15:56:12 by Lynda Carol

2012-07-19 12:02 Fluffylegs

JUST TO ADD TO POST JUST BELOW....QUAKAS OWNER...YOU would need to be there..ALSO the olympics are starting and weymouth is going to be very busy, so will portland for sightseeing..this cld be scary for her....it doesnt matter where the posters go, in weymouth as well, as people get out and abt and schools are out on friday so there will be holiday makers...this little girlie needs a feeling of protection from all these potrentially scary happenings.
SUGGESTED TASKS
1. POSTER all supermarkets
2. Contact prisons to see if they walk their sniffer dogs, weve sent them posters already
3. E mail Bus companies ask them to give drivers a copy of posters
4. if you e mail the schools on Portland this afternoon and ask them to put posters at their gates for last day tomorrow
4.Holiday cottages, send stuff to the actual cottages, locate on line and ask occupiers to look out
5. Tourist info place
6. Attractions in the area ring and ask them to poster
7. Caf ask them to check if their bins are being raided, same for hotels and guest houses on portland
8. Ask Dog lost for details from Sherlock Bones abt how dogs work in a triangle ad try and plot.....maybe with help of dog warden. chris is really helpful and involved with lifeboat service as well
9. GET THE posters on coastal walks
10.BE THERE... HAVE YOU SEEN MY DOG!!! IS GOOD!!!!!

2012-07-19 11:43 Fluffylegs

Chris the dog warden had a sighting o Quaka injured 2 days ago ad was on his way out when he rang me from his mobile, although she may not have been at the same place when he got there...all possibilities have to be taken account of.
QUAKA'S OWNER... when dogs have gone off local to us we have had a special day, which could be saturday/sunday, when we have a round up of as many people that we can muster, friends, local dog walkers etc and suggest meeting at a certain point at say 12noon and each pwerson will take on a task, ie putting posters through doors, sticking posters in a certain area etc all carry high value treats and slip lead and be aware of action to take if sighted, no running after, no calling, sitting quietly no eye contact etc
Then meet say 2 hrs later for de brief.
This raises awareness and if you give the ctivity a name such as QUEST 4 QUAKA like weve had Sniff 4 Sid, Jess in Distress... it sticks in peoples minds.
Whereas you may not be local dont worry, the publicity for it can go out on here, weve done this before and on Spring Thing and people locally will soon get to hear.

Its not to try and round her up but to give impetus to her recovery...at the mo its not clear what is being done to find her if you dont mind my saying so and every little helps.
ALSO the more you are able to keep in touch here, the more people living away from the area can help like e mailing companies, organisations, guest houses, holiday cottages...people will do this. In northumberland Archie is missing and a peron from 200miles away is at the e mailing all the time.
Last week we found Sasha missing for 10 days, a few hundred yds from home, hiding near scrubland by old peoples dwellings...we'd walked miles on sitings sat in car parks postered the universe and the next day we cld hardly walk but WE FOUND HER, WE WERE NON STOP!!!!!
COME ON HELP US TO FIND QUARKA. IT MAY WORK, IT MAY NOT.
I mean for instance Tara at my garage up the road has been e mailing stuff out for you to help, so lets get with it .xxxxxx okey dokey???????

2012-07-18 16:56 Lynda Carol

have learnt that there has been no confirmed sightings of this girl since the 11th

2012-07-18 15:12 Reynard

Is the area that she was sighted right at the top of Portland?
I guess the lighthouse folk have been notified and local Fisherman
Please Poster poster poster and still leave food in the area sighted .

2012-07-18 09:49 Lynda Carol

owner in touch with dog warden no sightings of this girl for the last couple of days

2012-07-18 09:48 Fluffylegs

Thanks.. what a shame but as with all dogs lost guess they dont stay in one place for long and if people are feeding hope that can keep her going. I wonder why its so difficult to communicate with DDR.

2012-07-18 08:36 DogLostpoochpal- Regional Co-ordinator South West

Good morning Fluffylegs & Fedup. There was no sign of Quaka when the dog warden visited the area yesterday so again we are waiting for further sightings. I am still waiting for calls from DDR/fosterers/owners to work out what can be done next.Last edited: 2012-07-18 08:37:51 by poochpal- Regional Co-ordinator South West

The phone numbers on Quakas details are the day and out of hours numbers for the weymouth dog warden

2012-07-17 23:59 Fluffylegs

TO FED UP.
It wld be really helpful if someone cld take on the task tomorrow morning ie wednesday, of drawing together the current situation regarding Quaka and Quivva too and then give some pointers as to the next suggested actions required.
I'm pretty bossy myself, willing to give time froma distance, but I need to be clear about
1. what happened with the dog warden when he went to search for Quaka today Tuesday
2. Is he aware of the names and tel nos of who shld be contacted abt the dogs, if found or information available
3. what IS the situation please
4. What tasks are DDR carrying out?
5. What support and help wld they like from others?
6.What is the best contact point/number/person for DDR?
Thanks
I do hope the news on these dogs will soon be good..

2012-07-17 19:29 Reynard

OMG! I thought she had been found as she had gone from the top,,,why has she slipped down again ,,,there is a sighting so normaly they go to the top so as to alert everyone?
fedup ,,,you sound truly fedup,,what is going on does anyone want help or not,,or is the search under control and we are not wanted?

I have a dog from DDR myself and know what a brilliant job they do, not only rescuing the cute and cuddlies but also the sick, injured and elderly but they are not helping the people who are wanting to help these to girls. Communication between us all would be so much more productive. We need to be able to contact the owners. Last edited: 2012-07-17 18:47:53 by poochpal- Regional Co-ordinator South West

I live in North Devon, and have been unable to get to Dorset today, floods/torch.
If you see this frightened little girl do not approach her, she is very nervous and will bolt, do not chase her. Only attempt to catch her if you are sure of success, preferably keep her in sight, and, if poss, phone Dorset Dog warden on 01305 838000 office hours or 01305 838333 out of hours thank you
