Hi Anne, thanks for flagging this up, I will send an email asking for an updated contact number x
Anne
The contact number for this dog is no. Longer in use. Was going to update the page if found or still missing share again.?
Anne
Been so long I know but a dog like Harvey is straying around the Wolverhampton area for the last month or so. Please can the owner have a look on the fb page lost and found pets wolverhampton and surrounding areas. No-one has managed to catch or check this dog for a chip as yet - I know harvey wasn't chipped so will keep you updated if I see any more about this local straying dog.

There's reports of a "sighted only" black Tervuren with very matted coat. Found 71937 - no photo as only sighted. Could this be Harvey x

I have not seen any posters up at all since he went missing. We are issuing a press release regarding other Basildon lost dogs and will include a poster of Harvey
DogLostKimmybear - Area Co-ordinator, Essex & Hertfordshire borders
We will continue checking any black or dark brown dogs we hear of, in case its Harvey. We will keep checking till he's home. Why not re-do the posters? Sometimes it rings a bell with people, even a while later. I know its so awful, but sometimes they really do appear. We have to keep hoping. We are all looking for you Harvey. xxx
BigGSDPatlucky
Thanks me n my girl.
Harvey has been confused with the Chigwell dog.
So I think that has wasted a lot of time.
DogLostMe N My Girl - Administrative Volunteer
Shared on Facebook again today, mentioned possible sighting in Southend area. Harvey you haven't been forgotten.
BigGSDPatlucky
Thank you Toni very nice of you
Toni
I will do what I can to get the word around
BigGSDPatlucky
I do not think Jackie will mind me saying this.
I think Jackie does not know where to turn or how to get more help.
Harvey has been missing 5 months now.
With only one sitting in Southend not even sure it was him.
Please would you share this lost dog anywhere you can people.
The RSPCA phoned her so Jackie had thought it might be good news.
However I think (not sure ) it was just about the RSPCA.
So that must have been a bit of a let down.
Wish I knew where to look I would be out there.
Please folks keep looking for Harvey
Thanks
BigGSDPatlucky
Hi Jackie
I was going to ask if you still had the phone number of the lady.
Maybe if she is following Harvey she will get in touch again and let you know what area.
If you got the photo I sent you could you confirm it is not Harvey please.

http://leighdogsandcatshome.co.uk/straydogphotos.html

Thanks MacIntosh Jackie will have to look at that it is 4th dog I think?
MacIntosh
This found dog is many many many miles away but... http://leighdogsandcatshome.co.uk/straydogphotos.html Look at Wigan area 767 - not sure he has the right sort of ear though
jackiecostello
Hi iam not sure were the area was were the lady lives as I can't rember I havenr got her number any more it must have been deleted but the last time I spoke to hershe said the dog had not been bk I had the rspcs phoned me up the other day but had to calk me bk they still havent they said they would over the weekend so I will be phonin them up tomorrow juat hope its good news about harvey
BigGSDPatlucky
Thanks Jo
Thanks for the polite caution.
Yes I do realise that dog people will know breeds.
Where as other people will not and that makes it difficult.
However I am in touch with the lady that was feeding the one on the golf course.
So she did send me photos so I knew this was not Harvey.
I did get a little frustrated as no one was listening.
So am glad we are back on the Harvey trail.
Thanks
Jo - Area Co-ordinator, Essex
A word of caution Patlucky.....be careful what found/sighted dogs are ruled out on the basis of description alone (I'm referring to the husky comment, and nothing to do with the golf course dog). Whilst you and I know Harvey is not a husky, nor looks like one, from experience over the years you would honestly be astounded how some people describe dogs vs what they are actually like.....especially non dog owners. I hope you don't mind me saying so, just trying to help. Wanstead isn't Essex as you probably know, but London, and a distance away so Harvey def wouldn't have got there alone but we know dogs quite frequently have 'help' so always best to check where poss and where description similar ish. Will keep a look out in Southend.
BigGSDPatlucky
A lady phoned the owner(sorry still sketchy)
This lady was putting food out for him.
However I just found out it was two months since she saw him.]Wish I could tell you more.
Just somewhere in Southend.
In Jackie's text she said the RSPSA phoned her today.
They are going to ring her back tomorrow so she is hoping for good news.
I wont know until tomorrow why they phone as bit late to text now.
It might be because the warden has phoned them but I do not know.
Fingers crossed.
Will post as
BigGSDPatlucky
Thanks Jayne.
Too much time has been used thinking Harvey is on the golf course.
Thanks again

Thanks to all .
Not even sure this is same dog but you never know.
Please bump
BigGSDPatlucky
I am in touch with Jackie she said a lady phoned her and said she had seen a dog .
However it had gone.
It is a bit sketchy I will text her after I send this.
Could this dg be bumped please.
I just think that the golf course dog has taken things away from this dog .
Thanks
Kinsally
Thank you Basildon DW, it's good that they are all aware of Harvey. Hoping there will be some positive news soon x
Dog WardenBasildon DW
Hi Kinsally just to put your mind at rest no dog matching Harvey's description has been taken to Acres Way. Basildon Southend Rochford and Castle Point all share the same kennel. Southend DW is aware of Harvey.
Kinsally
So sorry that Harvey is still missing.I will keep my eyes out for him in Southend area. Has Harvey's owner been in touch with Southend dog warden & Acres Way kennels? I would advise to personally always visit to check the found dogs that are taken there as telephone descriptions can sometimes be misleading when trying to compare a lost dog to one which has been found. Fingers crossed this lovely boy can get home asap xLast edited: 2013-12-20 08:32:55 by Kinsally

Sunshine it's on the found page. Harveys page was used initially because it was thought that he could have been the dog living on Chigwell golf course. No you're not thick, it took me months before I joined and managed to find my way. The more eyes the better Yvonne
Sunshine
I live in Southend and will keep my eyes peeled. Do we know whereabouts he may have been spotted? Also I cant seem to find the Chigwell golf course dog under ID 61410 am I being thick?

Patlucky perhaps some new alerts could go out for the area Harvey was "seen" in. I don't know how you get things like this done. Do you know the area postcode?
BigGSDPatlucky
Just out of interest why oh why are we not staying on track here.
If you look above Harvey looks NOTHING like a husky type dog.
It is not helpful to Harvey at all.
He isn't a German Shepherd , he is a Belgian Shepherd Tervuren.
He has no Husky in him.
He is all Black and has DOWN ears.
Please has anyone in the Southend area seen him.?
DogLostRiverlady
on twitter...@DoglostUK found an Alsatian in Wanstead area! (Essex)
Got husky type of face looks healthy and used to people .
BigGSDPatlucky
PS phone call said he was seen in Southend on sea.
Of course this may not be him.
So please please keep an eye open for him.
Home for Christmas would be lovely.
BigGSDPatlucky
Thank you for that this is taking all thoughts of Harvey.
It isn't him so can we please keep looking out for him.
Jackie the owner has had a phone call saying he has been seen
If it is him ,please if you live in the area keep an eye out for him.
Of course it may not be him so people in all areas keep a look out.
Harvey is Black and his ears are DOWN as in the photo.
Jackie his owner has told me he NEVER has up ears.
Thanks
Be nice to get this lad home for Christmas.
DogLostOwl
Ok everyone, I have now set up a page for the Chigwell golf course dog in Found. Have put Sighted Only as name, and the ID number is 61410 Please can we continue any discussion of this dog on the new page. Thank you
BigGSDPatlucky
I have a close up photo of the dog on the Chigwell golf course.
Kindly sent to me by a lady who was feeding him.
Just looking at the photo now it is like a Australian Kelpie as you said Toni.
This dog is NOT I repeat NOT Harvey.
I am going to now send Jackie his photo, and ask her to confirm it isn't.
I have been in touch with over a period of time as I live in the area
Good luck with catching this boy he has been loose for so long now.
Toni
I am going to the Golf club tomorrow to arrange for Ray to be able to take a trap. I did try to take a picture today and the dog is looking more like a Keltie. I will try and find a picture, as today she was too far away. Fingers crossed that the amazing Ray can catch this dog. I have given the infromation about Harvey to my son as he lives in Basildon and I will keep on spreading the word. Never lose hope as I did have my Lurcher found in Kent two years after after someone had stolen her from my house!!. I recieved a call from a dog warden. sadly I had to have her put to sleep as she had a tumour, so I only had her back for five weeks but it was me she spent her last weeks with and it was me that did the right thing for her, so never give up
BigGSDPatlucky
Just a thought has anyone tried sitting down low with food.
A dog is more likely to approach a person low down.
Less frightening for them if you are at their level.
Well done to Toni for helping .
Emilia has been feeding this dog for ages now another lady is feeding him.
Emilia has been texting me and did e-mail me some photos.
I am 99% sure he is not Harvey.
I have spoken to Jackie (HARVEYS Owner) and she told me Harvey does NOT ever put his ears up.
Where as the pictures I have of the one at the golf course has ears UP.
Hope this is some help.
Unknown
Paws, and fingers xd, for a happy outcome.
Kinsally
Again thank you so much Toni. I too thought this poor dog would of been caught by now & was so shocked to see its been out there after all this time the poor mite. Thank you for making sure it's eaten & perhaps its been getting water from the lake. I just hope it can be safely captured now especially with winter approaching.Thank you so much Owl for speaking with Ray & fingers crossed this poor dog can be safely captured. I so wish I was nearer to help. Good luck xx
DogLostOwl
Toni, thank you so much for everything you are doing for this dog.
DogLostJulie - Area Co-ordinator - Surrey & South London
Toni you are an angel for helping this poor dog - well done to you and all you have done today. Many people are very worried about this dog. Will look forward to your update. Julie xx
Toni
I have just got back from the golf course and have had my eye on the dog all day - but it is continuously on the go. The prob with the golf course is that you cannot have people just walking around all over the place, it is dangerous and it is a private club. Speaking to the golfers I know, the dog is always near the 14th hole, today has been unusual because it has been in plain sight all day but staying at least 10-15 feet away from people. there is a lake which it goes to and around the course there are houses that back onto it. Some of these houses are empty as building work is going on and the dog kept on stopping and looking in. I thought maybe it waits until everyone has gone and goes in to sleep. we left out a lot of food and some of the golfers have been too, in brick buildings like sheds that are on the grounds. I am worried because a lot of people thought it was a black fox!!??? and I think have not been very warm towards it, so maybe that is why it is frightened. I will give Ray a call either a bit later or tomorrow morning as I have to catch up on some work. I know the dog has eaten well today and that there is shelter for tonight so we will start again in morn. But it is dfficult as there are some areas where you cannot walk until after 6pm and then it is too dark. Will keep posting. Oh and I found out that the RSPCA would have nothing to do with the dog but said we could call them if we caught it. They were called in a couple of months ago and a couple of times since but they said that they cannot do anything
DogLostJulie - Area Co-ordinator - Surrey & South London
Keeping everything crossed this poor dog can soon be caught and brought to safety. Good luck to you Toni for trying to help. Thank you Owl for talking to Ray. I am just so sad as this dog has been out so long and although I live a very long way away had I realised nothing was being done to help I would have tried hard to have got some help for him/her. Julie x
ClaireC
Good luck xx
DogLostOwl
I have been talking with Ray the expert trapper and he is willing to advise and help. He has Toni's number and she has his, so I will back off now as this is way out of my area.
DogLostRiverlady
circulating on twitter
DogLostOwl
You may need a trap for this one.
DogLostOwl
Take smelly food such as pilchards or sardines, and take things gently. You will be less threatening if down on ground. Don't make eye contact or walk directly towards him. As long as he is on the golf course he is safe, we don't want to run him off into a less safe area.
Toni
my friend is picking me up in about 20 if We can do anything and we can catch him I will text the number owl gave below as wont have internet conection
Toni
he has just run past the tea hut, I am going to see if I can get there
Toni
I think someone has been putting out bits at the weekends but the foxes are grabbing what they can, so cant be sure if the dog will get the food
Toni
I do not know if anyone is feeding him, he just runs away whenever he sees someone and runs so fast in a panic. I do not have info about the RSPCA but I know people who will help
DogLostOwl
We need a local contact number for whoever is involved locally in trying to catch this poor dog. Can such a person please text me on 07772 432366 and I will be happy to put them in touch with Ray. Do we know if the RSPCA volunteers are still trying to catch him. What is needed is an organised local team working together. Is anyone leaving food?

Poor Harvey,I'm sorry that this lovely boy is still missing. I don't know if the poor dog on Chigwell golf course is him or not, but I do remember seeing a post & picture on gumtree some time back & the dog looked a little like a Black German shepherd,it was posted on MISSING Tigan's page 49277 as there was a resemblance to him.I feel really sad to think that poor dog is still out there. Is there anyone in the area that can at put some food out? Yes Julie Ray is needed here asap. Can anyone contact him & in the meantime please can it be given something to eat. Reading Tigan's page someone was feeding it at one time otherwise goodness knows how it's surviving. I wish I was nearer to help. If this is Harvey or not this poor dog needs help urgently xLast edited: 2013-12-14 08:47:01 by Kinsally

I am posting this as the dog seen on Chigwell Golf course was seen again last Sunday the 8th December, he is looking really bad now it does not look like he has eaten for a long time. My friend said that there were two couples looking for a similer dog about 12 weeks ago. I hope that someone could go and have another look we are always keeping an eye out for him he seems to always head to the top oc the course so maybe he sleeps somewhere around there. My friend said that he does not look as though he will survive for much longer and it is heartbreaking she tried to coax him to her but he was so frightened. will be there tomorrow so if I spot him I will post it. And the dog does have quite long hair.Last edited: 2013-12-13 19:59:37 by Toni

Hi Jackie ,
The lady sent me a photo of the dog seen at Chigwell golf course.
I tried to send them to you last night but could not.
I would say 99% that it is not Harvey.
The ears of the Chigwell dog are up.
Hope this helps.

Thats good somebody is doing something. My computer capabilities are VERY limited. Would be great if he /she is caught, thank you.
DogLostreggiemollieros
I am so sorry I should have checked back earlier. As far as I know from a recent email with the person who has sighted the dog in Chigwell some RSPCA volunteers are helping to try and catch him today. I shall email her and ask if there is any success and I will send her the link so she can have a look on here too. I would think it would take a few attempts to catch this dog but the woman who posted seems very determined to see him caught and helped.
DogLostMe N My Girl - Administrative Volunteer
I don't want to hijack Harveys page, would it be worth setting up a Found page for this bLack Shepherd. (I can't do it because I'm not clever) I have rung the golf club and they have tried to catch this dog which doesn't belong to anyone that works there. The lady that has seen him and reported him elsewhere is quite concerned about his welfare and has placed another advert. Perhaps one of the Shepherd rescues would help her, I don't have any contacts.

Not good photo's but this dog has up ears .

Reggiemollieros it's about 21 miles away so Harvey could have easily travelled that far in the time he's been missing. Perhaps the black dog has a bushy tail like a fox. Region should be south east.Last edited: 2013-09-19 20:12:57 by Me N My Girl - Administrative Volunteer

There is a post on gumtree about a dog sighted in Chigwell Golf course (is that too far?) there are photos but they are from a distance.
This is what the post says:
A dog is seen in Chigwell golf club park. Is bigger than big fox and even looks like fox from distance. Hi/she is scared of people and this is why I couldn't catch him in any way so I feed him/her at least. I contact some organisations but they come only when a dog is caught. I hope his/her owner will possibly read this. Maybe is from afar as I haven't seen any leaflets in this area.
Unfortunately I wasn't able capture his/her profile as a dog runs away from people. If anyone knows who should I contact to catch a dog please let me know as winter is around the corner. Thanks.
Here is the link: http://www.gumtree.com/p/pets/found-black-german-shepherd-or-similar-breed/1032570718#photo-content (I am thinking as they say fox then is less likely)
Dog WardenBasildon DW
I have not seen any posters about. Have any gone up Jackie?
BigGSDPatlucky
Liz do I know of you?
I have phoned Cherrydown vets they already had the information.
Also I have phoned Wellcare they have recorded the information thanks.
Pat
Dog WardenBasildon DW
I think it is definately worth leaflet dropping the houses along Eversley Road asking for people to check sheds etc. This is off of London Road and backs onto Eversley Park Fields. There are lots of houses with out buildings and animal sheds where he could be hiding out.
Liz
This is the link to all vets in Basildon for the owner: http://www.yell.com/s/vets-basildon.html

Have posted this on the "Cherrydown Vets" facebook page, they are Basildon Based. Also there is a vets called Wellcare Vets would be worth the owner trying there.

I suppose you've contacted the Southend dog warden.
Wanderers Haven at Cranham 01708 220168, there's also Wallace kennels at Brentwood, I don't know their number.It's strange there have been no sightings. Have you tried an appeal on local radio? Think Watt Tyler country park is nearby (could be renamed) there must be lots of dogwalkers there.

PS He also looks a little different as his ears are not up.
They are as you see them.

Hi Fly,
I can answer a few of your questions I think.
I joined biggsd some time ago and support them.
I did post it on their site as I know they are really good as you said on your post.
I also think to the layman he could be taken as thoseother breeds.
People who know their breeds would know what he is.
However people who find dogs do not always know.
I answered this as I think Jackie is spending lots of time looking for him.
Sounds like you know you stuff.
Pat
FLY
PS just read the poster its states HARVEY is a TERVUREN, isn't he a GROENENDAL? (ALL BLACK)
FLY
As a BSD owner I find most people think mine is a gsdx so worth looking under that definition too, also some even think colliex! Also worth trying BIGGSD website they are very helpuland know the breed. Is he a Groenendal? they will have a breed rescue too. Think laterally. I feel for you and hope you have good news really soon. Following..
BigGSDPatlucky
Hi Jackie,
Is there any chance of putting his picture up the right way.
Then I think you can start printing them off.
How is it going there any sightings of Harvey.
Pat
DogLostMe N My Girl - Administrative Volunteer
I can see the new picture Jackie, he's lovely. He may be hiding in a chuchyard or the crematorium not too far from you. Pitsea market area would probably provide a good source of food after it's closed down if he were brave enough.Last edited: 2013-09-05 16:48:47 by Me N My Girl - Administrative Volunteer

Jackie, a lot of the volunteers on this site have been out on searches/tracking before, these searches need to be fairly co-ordinated, I would certainly accept all the help you can get, the more eyes looking, the more ground is covered. Kim would have sent you all Doglost's advice, Dog Lost are the experts, please please follow thier advice to the letter.

Just in case Jackie is out looking for Harvey I can answer as I have asked her some things.
Nice to get a mental picture.
Jackie did not move very far .
Jackie told me in a text she moved just across the road.
He was last seen near the shops in Rectory Road.
That is a long road and it is about half way up.

DogLostKimmybear - Area Co-ordinator, Essex & Hertfordshire borders
Jackie, you need to everything in my email to you, over and over. How exactly did Harvey go missing? Can you tell us as this will give us clues? Did he just wander off or was he scared? Did he run? Who saw him last and did they say if he was running or walking etc. What way was he headed Would he go over to strangers if they called him? Thanks. x
BigGSDPatlucky
Don't lose heart Jackie.
We do need to get a better photo of him ASAP.
Then lost dogs will run you off one so you can copy.
Then get some plastic cases and pin them up.
Will talk about that when we get the photo.
If someone has him the more photos the better.
Pat
jackiecostello
Still no luck with harvey still looking for a better photo I have a feeling now that someone has got him coz there bin no sightings of him for bout a week now

Jackie any chance of a better photo.
Then we can ask for a lost dog poster.
Then we can copy and put up in areas around you.
I do not mind helping .
Just hope Harvey is back soon.

I went to the kennels near the cane furniture place on the A127.
They have all the details of Harvey in their office.
It was the Gemini kennels.
So that one is sorted think Harvey's owner already phoned them.
I did not realise they were Gemini.

CopperM,sorry for confusion it was me that put wrong name down.
CopperM
jackiecostello do you mean Summerhill Nurseries? (Sungate Nursery is way towards Romford...)
Gemini Kennels are along that stretch of road on that side. 01268 725825 They take strays in, also rehome dogs.
BigGSDPatlucky
Kingstown breed dogs and sell food.
They would not take dogs is , but will pop in there today.
The other place I was thinking of is a bit before there.
A cane furniture place on the corner(will do both).
I think we need some lost dog posters to put about.
Not sure how we get them.
I have been in contact with a dog friend over at Wickford today.
Knowing lots of people she will spread the news.

Thats it Lankeela. Patlucky, Kingstown may have some ideas of other kennels you could contact. Vets used to have a Kennel Club list of breed rescues which might even be on the web now. Jackie where and when was the last repoted sighting.? Could he have wandered Thurrock way, I don't know who their dog warden is. Missing for 2 weeks now.

Lankeela
Kingstown GSD kennels are down that way just off the A127.
BigGSDPatlucky

That is the place I cannot remember what it is called.
I call in there tomorrow as I am going that way.
Don't happen to know what is called do you me n my girl?

Sory Jackie I should have said between Summerhill nursery and Nevendon flyover not Sadlers Farm and on that side of the road. Thanks Copper m that's what I meant as well, it was me that put Sungate. Last edited: 2013-09-04 14:45:04 by Me N My Girl - Administrative Volunteer

I think also the owner told me his ears are down.
So with that in mind if someone finds him they could be confused with maybe a German shepherd Labrador cross.
So worth remembering that.
We are all hoping Harvey gets found soon.
Pat
jackiecostello

BigGSDPatlucky

Could he have been taken to Gemini Kennels, which is the pound for Havering lost dogs and also a rehoming centre. There used to be a kennels that bred and trained GSD off A127 between Sungate nursery and Sadlers Farm roundabout, think they may have had a dog display team as well.

Pat
jackiecostello

Dog WardenBasildon DW
There is a large block of fields/farm land in that area. Awareness needs to be raised along London Road toward Sadlers Farm and along Pound Lane as well as the Rectory Road areas.
Clare

BigGSDPatlucky
Dog warden if you read what was the Black GSD you had calls about please?
BigGSDPatlucky
Hi ,
I have just spoken to the owner of Harvey.
Very nice lady that needs some help.
She has been going down to rectory road all hours and has not seen him.
This lady posted him here but did not realise to get help she needs to update us.
So please can we have some support for this lady.
I know how great everyone is on here.
Harvey is 8 years old and she has owned him since he was 7 months old.
Thanks for reading
Pat
BigGSDPatlucky
I have text the owner this morning.
Harvey is still missing and they are still out looking.
I told her I had phoned all the vets in the area.
Just in case he gets handed in one of them.
I do hope there will soon be a post from owner.
Please keep looking.
BigGSDPatlucky
Some animals put their ears down when having photo's taken.
So that makes them look different.
I have done a search for this dog also added Black.
It looks very much like a German shepherd to most people.
Slightly smaller ears and a bit longer face.
Also another comment there are two very busy roads near .
The A13 plus the A127.
However there are lots of fields
Have the owners contacted the house they lived before.
It could be worth a try.
Pat.

Not had response from owner, but a better photo would help, yes. On ethat shows Harvey up better for the poster. x
BigGSDPatlucky
I have phoned a friend that lives near Rectory road to keep an eye out.
Have also emailed my daughter who travels to and from Basildon.
Have also asked her to let as many people know that she works with.
Harvey for the want of another word is just like a Black German shepherd.
Although the ears are down in that photo.
Maybe a different photo would be of help.?

Thanks DW.

I have had no further reports of sightings called into me since 22/8.
I think it would be easier to leave the colouration termonolgy as simple as possible for the posters as most people wont know what the difference is. The calls I recieved were for sightings of a black German Shepherd.
ginachron
Just to be sure, and so people don't get confused, is Harvey a Groenendal (all black) rather than Terveuren (usually more russet/red)
Clare
Just a long shot Have a look at Found ID 56558 Found on the 24th I know its quite a long way away but you never know.
