Are his fosterers actually getting any of this information and prompts of action to take with media etc I cannot see any posts actually from them.? There's a lot of good pro active stuff being suggested but who is actually leading the search?
Goldenfrodo
Thanks for all your help. I've posted Bolt on Facebook Groups. As soon as he's advertised in the Media, please let us know and then I can 'bump' his page.
Come on little boy, please let somebody help you x

You also might wish to contact the Sentinel (local and very well-read daily paper) and ask them if they will do a piece on Bolt asap. Given the unusual circumstances of him only recently arriving in the UK they might be happy to oblige. The more publicity the better to get people looking for him.Hope he's soon caught safe and sound.

This is a link for putting Bolt on local radio. It also has City Dogs Home Phone number.

p.s. I forgot to add. This is not near Eaton Park, so anyone who has been searching there has been wasting their time.
Gaynor
Hi again. If he's been seen in Heath House Lane then I think my suspicions were correct as this is just under a mile from the Northwood Park area I mentioned. To echo Jo Glos below, is someone searching on the ground for him, are his fosterers out looking? They now need to be in the Abbey Hulton/Bucknall area if he has not moved too far....he's actually heading in the direction of the City Dogs Home! Poor boy must be so frightened and disorientated. I might well have some time tomorrow to go and search, if so I will call the mobile number shown to ask if there are any current sightings I can pick up on. The area he is now in is a large housing estate.

Have tweeted link to Stoke Pets Lost & Found and to BBC Radio Stoke to see if they can help. Has the local paper been asked to help? Ref the sighting reported below just a couple of hours ago, how do we know if anyone is acting on it and going to search? Do the fosterers get an automated copy of the message?
SSDUK
Thanks for your comment Gaynor. We don't know the area where Bolt is in geographically, as we're in London and the foster home he's in is in Stoke on Trent - so you may be right, or there may be a miscommunication on the name of the location we were given. But there's been lots of sightings all around the same area he was lost from. He was last spotted at 14:30 on Heath House Lane in Stoke on Trent today. Thanks, Dani SSDUK.

Bolt - Last spotted at 14:30 on Heath House Lane in Stoke on Trent.

Thanks goldenfrodo. It really doesn't make sense that he could have got to Eaton Park safely or without being intercepted. It is a heck of a way and incredibly busy traffic-wise. I think there may have been some misinterpretation of a sighting message as to me it's far more likely that he could have been seen in NORTHWOOD PARK which runs off EATON STREET!! hence the possible confusion. This is much closer to Central Forest Park where he was lost (less than a mile) and he would only have needed to cross one main road and then a number of less busy roads/side streets. If this is where he actually is then the search needs to be concentrated on Northwood/Hanley area which is very different to Eaton Park .... hope this all helps! and apologies if I'm incorrect and he somehow has got to the Eaton Park area!
Goldenfrodo
Thanks gino and Red Alert xx I'll contact owner tomorrow to confirm sighting, Gaynor x
Gaynor
Hi, can you clarify please as am a bit confused. Central Forest Park (Hanley) is a good way from Eaton Park (Berryhill) and he would have had to negotiate a huge amount of traffic and numerous busy roads to get from one to the other - virtually impossible I would say. Is the Eaton Park sighting definitely him?
