Are his chip details up to date? This found one apparently not...https://www.facebook.com/groups/415564258581857/permalink/1243972519074356/

Really feel for the owners with this one, how could Alfie just have disappeared?

I keep logging in and hoping to see you that you have been reunited with your owners x

Hoping that you will turn up one day. The other Alfie has been found through his microchip, fingers crossed for you. Still think about you x
alikat
Another big push to find Alfie is taking place within the Border Terrier community. At some point this boy will have to be taken to a vet and, hopefully, he will be scanned. As ALL dogs are required to be microchipped this year by law, maybe Alfie's existing chip will be found at this stage? Fingers crossed.

Can not imagine what it must be like to loose a much loved family pet and not know what happened to them, also do not understand why anyone who finds a dog thinks it is appropriate behaviour to just keep it. I hope you have news of Alfie soon.

nearly 7 months now and not a word of any sightings of little alfie...not a day passes when we dont wonder what on earth happened to him on that day up the lakes, i still cant help but wonder if someone has found and kept him, do they ever think about what we as a family have gone through, he wasnt bought for our children just for "christmas" he was intended to be loved and cared for throughout his life. please keep a look out for him.

I'll post Alfies picture on Doglost Wales again and also Doglost Ireland. Try not to get too disheartened David. When whoever has Alfie takes him to a vet and he's scanned then his chip will show up and he'll be returned to you xx

Have a look at Ellie's page. She was found and reunited through her chip after over 5 years missing.

david
phoned up about those two dogs earlier last week but both had been claimed. 10 weeks this weekend, if no responce from the newspaper articles over the next week think we need to realise that perhaps he isnt going to be found. i really do believe that someone has claimed now and have to think that he is having a good life, other wise i'll go mad thinking of all the what ifs!!!!!
twoDs
The 2 BTs with Cheshire west were posted on Alfies FB group - both have been claimed now

David don't give up hope. I've been microchipping dogs for approx 8 years now. I always double check with my scanner before I microchip a pet. Microchips can migrate so I check the entire dog. Some people with scanners don't always check the dogs hind or chest areas. About two years ago a guy brought a jack Russell in to be chipped. I scanned the dog and I found a chip near its back leg. He had got the dog from a rescue centre, they had missed the chip. Thankfully the guy asked me to get in touch with the previous owners, I did and I was surprised that this little terrier had been lost 3 years before. I was there when they were re-united, I cried buckets, we all cried buckets. I would call the kennels again to check they both were microchipped and the owners brought ID before taking the dogs. By the way the jack Russell was lost in the Cotswolds, he turned up in Scunthorpe. Wish he could of told us his tale. Goodluck and hope he turns up soon.

david
phoned the kennels first thing this morn, both borders had been claimed, back to square one!! does anyone know that if dogs are microchipped and they scan them when found do the dog wardens automatically contact the details on the chip and do you have to prove that the dog belongs to you before you retrieve it? i wondered as when i was told today that they had been claimed he didnt actually say by their owners as now i worry that anyone can go and claim a dog that isnt rightfully theirs, also it appears that you only have small window to make a claim before the dogs are re-housed, so what happens if you havent been contacted that a dog similar to yours has been found? more to dwell on!!! wish he would just turn up, its heartbreaking. 9 weeks now, too long to be still roaming around i think....
david
thank you for the information, the acorn kennels is the one i've been ringing and no one picks up so i keep leaving my details and they dont return my calls, i will be on to them as soon as in the morning. i see there is two borders on chester stray dog pages, will let u know how i come on, fingers crossed.:)

Telephone: 01948 662931
found these two numbers on the council website hope they help if they are making you wait I would pester them good luck
david
have looked into this although how difficult is it for dog wardedns just to scan a lost dog? it took ages to find the dog on the animalsearchuk site then i forwarded a message via the site on wed, still havent had e reply, rang the chester council today then they put me through to the dog kennels where border is held its open from 8-6 7 days a week, no one answered the call and here i am still waiting for a call back having left my details 9 hours ago!!! so annoying, we are still so up set at loosing alfie and are almost demented by the whole thing, 8 weeks now and i feel we will have to move on from this as its getting more and more unlikely that we are going to find him. we have done all and more, and people have been so supportive, but it is mentally draining, where on earth can he be?? has someone kept him, is he trapped and has died we really need to know!!

we were so hopeful that was him today, mind the poor little thing looked as if he had been through the mill, had no responce up to now from the newspaper articles, maybe the sunday sun will bring news tomorrow, just cant seem to move forward from this need to get him back!!!!a friend has notified the vets throughout cumbria to ensure all borders to be scanned just incase, although we are sceptical that he is still in cumbria.

just put an advert in this weeks journal, chronicle and the sunday sun which covers from teeside up to the scottish borders. dont know if this will help but who knows, atleast we feel we are doing something. havent heard anymore on the sighting near appleby nor have we heard if the other border in that area has been found, so we will continue to live in hope. thanks to u all for the help.

hi all just letting u know we have alfie for 'dog of week' on 'find harvey' hope it helps x

We will be taking posters with added info of Alfie's care issues on them to all our vets in our area. About 20 will have posters. Xxx
DogLostSherlock- Area Co-ordinator & Police Liaison - Avon & South Gloucestersh
Stay positive....we are all helping to find Alfie in our own little ways....if someone is holding him, someone else will notice eventually....Poster everywhere and keep looking ...Amazing how long dogs can survive on their own before they are found safe...sending more positive vibes for Alfie and you xx
david
heard no more on the possible sighting yesterday, awful, after 4 weeks our hopes were built up again but left bitterly disappointed. a friend has been down country this weekend and issued flyers at a country fair, as we are adament that someone has kept him, i just dont believe he is still roaming the wilds alone. please please keep looking where ever you are in the country, my only hope now is that because he suffers badly with a condition involving his genitals and by now he will need to see a vet, if someone has kept him and cares enough to take him to a vet he will be scanned, but i feel now we are clutching at straws. we keep advertising where ever we can and keep circulating posters, if you relise a neighbour or a friend has recently aquired a border terrier out of the blue please ask the questions where,when and how!!!!! we just have no idea on where to search now he could be anywhere! many thanks to all who have been supportive and has helped with the search.

DogLostClaire Gresty - Area Co-ordinator & Police Liaison - North West
There was a sighting of a Border Terrier this morning in Appleby at 9.30, this could also be Jess (69384), missing from CA10, if you are in this area, please keep a look out x
david
thank you to those who have printed posters off and sent them to the local vets. we feel if alfie has been taken then sooner or later he will have to go a vet as he suffers with a problem with his genital area, he becomes so uncomfortable with this he cant eat, drink, or settle as he is in so much pain. its so important that as many vets throughout receive a poster to prompt them into scanning dogs.
tkdowdy
Will do. Will also drop some off at other vets as well. Plus can drop at shelters also. Xx
DogLostClaire Gresty - Area Co-ordinator & Police Liaison - North West
Alfie is sadly still missing and could be anywhere in the UK now
If you could possibly print a poster, no matter where you are, and give to your vet, it would be greatly appreciated :)

got friends in the area today, they will circle round. we just cant believe he has vanished literally into thin air!!!
wish he would show his face.

Got nr top from western side but turned back due to weather. If he's up there he'll be in cover l would hope. Up fri biking the trails so have another look then.

Had a walk up the mine rd last night. A few people around so hopefully if he shows himself he'll be seen. If I get chance I might have a quick jaunt to the pike from the other Whinlatter path tonight.

we do appreciate all the support we are receiving from you all, we just felt sure that if he was still in the area of where he went missing we would of found him by now, as we have searched and searched the area over and over again, we keeping hoping everytime the phone rings that its someone to say they have got him.

Have been tweeting for Alfie and included a number of key Keswick and Cumbria groups to spread the word. Never, ever give up .....you only need to read some of the wonderful reunited stories here to realise you have the best chance of finding Alfie....no one will ever give up on finding Alfie...everyone is here supporting you x

A member of Cockermouth MRT is going to circulate details to the team to keep a look out as they are always out and about and can spread the word in the outdoor circles.
SueB
David, don't give up any hope - these ar e canny little dogs. But please keep looking in the very local area to where you lost him- I say this as I was involved in the hunt for Barnaby a BT lost on Lulworth Army Ranges in Dorset, there were very few sightings reported and as it turned out none of them were him, his owners searched day and night with nothing as reward, we had a heap of volunteers out walking over the ranges whenever there was public access and all the ranged wardens and gunnery crews were aware and actively looking for him but still nothing - until- one month, to the day he appeared, spotted by a fisher man out on his boat and he was on the ground less than a 1/4 mile from where he had last been seen!
So please keep checking the area.
We came up with all sorts of theory's as to which way he would have travelled and how far etc and to be honest got to the point that we just did not know where to look next, we revisited many areas and his owner spent hours just sat up on the ranges looking and calling. I am sorry that I cannot give practical help on the ground but I am willing you all on and looking each day for the post that tells me you are reunited.
Just a thought but is there a local radio station you can contact, also getting the info about him to the Tourist Information centres sounds odd but many people visit them before heading off out and about . All hopes and prayers with you Alfie from us down here in Dorset. xx
dunedog
Are Keswick and Cockermouth mountain rescue aware? Might be worth a call if not. I work with some of Cockermouth MRT so I'll ask them to keep an eye out tomorrow if they don't know already.

I really hope you get Alfie back soon, you are doing everything you can. You just need a bit of luck.
david
it was at the top of the pike above the end of the mine road, we have walked the walk 7 times since last sat, been along the mine road several times in the light and the dark and i truely think he has come down from there, because he would of come to us when we shouted. i sincerely hope he does turn up but it gets harder as the days pass by.
dunedog
Whereabouts on grisedale pike did he go off? The boxer lost a couple of weeks ago stayed where he was lost within 100m. Do u have a grid ref? A setter a few months back did head down but stayed in cover for days so fingers crossed he'll show up soon.
david
been there agian today, nothing. have put poster in booths at keswick the other day. lots of borders in this area, is it alfie that people keep seeing? i now have my doubts, this is a very friendly dog and i'm sure if he was around someone would have him by now. more upsetting everytime we return home without him, 9 days missing and still nothing, perhaps he was taken last saturday after he was lost and maybe not in this area at all. all the family so upset. thanks again to all that have looked and helped.
dunedog
Where exactly was the sighting? Sunderland village is a fair way from braithwaite nr the road to bothel from keswick. Will be busy today maybe worth postering at booths at keswick.
david
a sighting of alfie on saturday afternoon heading down passed sunderland, in cumbria, which would lead him back to the A66 towards braithwaite, he seems to be staying around this area, but where????
leaving now to go back up there, thank you to all that have looked but please please anyone in that area today keep a look out.

I've just spoken to David, they stayed the night again last night but they have just travelled back home to Durham. They have put lots of posters up in the area and while out searching, everyone is stopping them to ask "are you looking for Alfie", so people are aware. I'm sure it's just a matter of time before Alfie is sighted again and his owners get that all important call. Please continue to look out for him and keep sharing his poster. Thank you x

Just spoken to David, the whole family is distraught.
David parked up at 8am on Saturday at the layby just outside Braithwaite, going towards Whinlatter. Alfie went missing at 10.30. Owners are there searching every night but no joy as yet. Some of their neighbours are going up on Saturday to do another search, the weather is going to be nice tomorrow, let's hope he shows his lovely little face :)

My friends who live in area said they would look today. If I am free at the weekend I will take a walk up there with my trailies. Hope he shows up soon.

We will head back there in the am. Did not see him today although walked around Whinlatter and up onto the Pike. Also tried Coledale. Will head up main ridge tomorrow.

Excellent thank you :)

I have made contact with David tonight, he received a call earlier today to say Alfie had been sighted this morning on the path down from Grisedale Pike. David has been there again today but has not seen him. Posters have been put up in the area and an advert will be going in the local paper, just waiting on confirmation on this. David is thinking of going up and staying overnight in the van tonight, as Alfie loves the van and may come to it. I will update as soon as there is any more news :)

I hope to see Alfie back home asap x

Shared from a border Terrier group on Facebook, I've asked Podgy Paws pet shop in Keswick to share too.
Good luck, I hope Alfie is home very soon

We are in that area and can keep looking. Which way was he heading when lost? Coledale or Whinlatter?

Contacted by a friend of the family, will send info and advise and start circulating details.

Family are from Durham, they have been back to poster the area and contacted all the right people.

Hope to see Alfie back home very soon x
