Welcome back RAFA. I'm sure you will repay your "mum" time and time again with the love and loyalty that a dog can do. Stay safe RAFA xx

BRILLIANT NEWS. So pleased you have lovely Rafa back with you. How dare the grandparents take him, and leave him somewhere for adoption when he belongs to you; thats theft. Please get Rafa microchipped, and if I was you I would keep him away from the grandparents: just in case. Can you give Rafa a great BIG (HUG) from me. Stay safe now Rafa:-)xxx PS Am so happy for you.

OMG what totally fabulous and wonderful news, brought tears to my eyes - after all this time!! Does anyone know how he was located? was it just searching for him at different rescues or did the vet he was dropped of at help? What a terrific happy ending :-)

I've just read on a Facebook site that Raffa has been located at a rescue centre in Wales after he was left at the vets to be PTS , thankfully the vet didn't PTS :-) , it says he should be coming home tomorrow , so hopefully he will be blue tomorrow :-) x

There is a dark brindle staff cross listed as found in Ellesmere Port yesterday on the Cheshire West dog wardens website. He does seem to have a little white to the paws and possibly white on the chest, but unable to see the markings from the picture. Suspect he may be too much of a cross, but probably worth a look just in case it's him.

That is so sad for you. Really sorry. Would it be worth contacting the citizens advice bureau?? They can help in civil matters. I would have thought theft of a dog was a criminal matter though as you have had the dog stolen from you. Maybe its worth contacting the royal college of vet surgeons to see if they can advise you on what the vet should or shouldnt have to do in these circumstances and may look in to their conduct. So so sorry and will get this postered everywhere i know Xx

Whatever the circumstances your grandparents felt the need to do this, I find this handover reprehensible and unjust. Just the same, the situation is made more precarious as Rafa is not micro-chipped, if he is still in 'foster' or a local 'pound' there will be a chance. Is he tatooed? Will do my best to spread the word. Here's to the power of Facebook, Twitter and more importantly, Doglost! I will do my best to help you.

Did the grandparents take the dog to the vets and asked them to take him and find a new home for him? If they did the vets probably found a rescue place for him and hes therefore not lost. They will know where he is im sure. Just concerned as the new adoptive owners may not want anyone knowing where he is. If no one asked the vets to rehome the dog and he was left at the surgery for other reasons ie treatment then he has been stolen then that is completely different. Thats theft. Just concerned and not wishing to cause any distress or further upset to the old owners.

I've shared on Facebook , has the dog warden been checked out too , although its nearly a month ago :-(

2013-01-13 22:18 wirral groomer

Hi , have all the rescues been contacted as Staffies are very hard to rehome so if he has been passed to a local rescue chances are he will still be there ! Won't church view tell you where he went ? :-( try heswall animal welfare , Wirral animal welfare , pet aid , and mrs such , they all foster dogs on the Wirral ,
