No more sightings or tips at all. I would accept help if I knew where people could help, but without any sightings in now over 3-4 weeks I don't know where the need is. My bed rest is over. I can drive, and am able to walk and have been walking around my village, but long distances, biking, and running are still out of the question. So going out to look myself is questionable activity for me; but without sightings there is no place to look or to receive help. =/

Other than the vet office tip have their been anymore sightings / info at all Forestry?
I'm still available to help you, especially while you are on medical bed rest x
Stay positive and don't give up hoping x

Had a tip that Latte (white/Grey dog) might have been in the Brandon Vet office a week ago. I called and verified it was NOT her, the vet was able to confirm her chip number info is current.

Thanks KellyR
It is just when Foresty said she is giving I thought she cannot give up.
I hope all those that can place this on Face book.
Thanks

Patlucky. I have been in contact with Forest. Because of her work and health commitments it's hard to touch Base with her. She has my number as I was in her position last month which is why I became a volunteer after getting mine back 5 days after she went adventuring.
I've postered and searched on multiple occasions and owner has my number to respond to sightings for when she is unable x
BigGSDPatlucky
I think Forestry might need a bit of moral support.
Please can anyone help?
It is ok helping when a dog has been sighted.
People who have lost a dog must feel so alone.
Sorry I am not nearer .

I'm still sharing the lost post & still happy to search / respond to possible sighting in the area should any get called in.

Those last two comments are messages received on facebook this evening from a lady after I shared your poster.
tonya
Hi. Not sure if it was these two. I was on my horse riding into Santon Downham and two husky type dogs came. The whiter one was more timid and the redder one started leaping at the horse and biting it. A lady came and caught it. I was very shaken. I rode on and an American chap in a blue pickup came along. He was looking for the dogs. I told him the lady had caught one. I told the police when I got home as I was worried they would get run over. The white one had run away. Like I say they may not have been your ones. I can't remember exact date but think was prob not yours as I think was June time
tonya
3 weeks ago a husky attacked a little dog in Brandon. Police took it ? Could be totally unrelated
tonya
Please dont give up. There are lots of us who are willing to help search and already have done. As soon as their is a sighting please let us know and we will be out again. Hope you get better soon x
BigGSDPatlucky
Forestry sorry to hear you are not well.
Please don't give up hope .
There will be lots of people looking for your dogs on line.
Please anyone looking in PLEASE PLEASE share on face book someone knows where these dogs are
Sorry Forestry I wont let you give up.
I do hope people reading that live in your area will be helpful.
I will ask people on BIGGSD and friends to share this on face book .
Please don't give up and hope you get better soon

Forestry, so sorry to hear you are unwell.
There are plenty of posters up in the area and if there are any sightings called in please let us know as there are helpers willing to go out and help search.
Forestry
Sorry for no updates, I had to go out of town over this past weekend, and I'm now going to be on Medical Bed rest for a few weeks, sadly I will be unable to do any future searching. But with no sightings in the past 2.5 weeks I've kind of lost hope. I'm convinced someone has gone out there and picked them up as their own(stolen). I think these kind of web sites like Dog Lost are great, but I'm sure thief's also cruise these web sights which gives them the exact area, names, picture, and time frame a dog is lost or sighted. =/ Just like the post before this: "if the dogs were still out there, wouldn't they have been seen by now?" =(

Can the owner get something in local paper? If these 2 beauties were still out there wouldnt they have been seen by now. Everything crossed for their safe return xLast edited: 2015-07-28 10:24:32 by Rose

Other husky dog racers may be able to help as they race thru the forest. I was told that its possible the missing huskies may even seek the company of other huskies in particular as they should be really hungry by now this is the judge & breeder contact details that will be alerting other husky dog racers that go thru the thetford forest and also race past the boyscout camp area http://www.thekennelclub.org.uk/services/public/judge/display.aspx?id=6631

Ok i have through my research found a great contact. In the local area based at Lynford not far down the road from 2 mile bottom lives a siberian husky judge and breeder She regularly races her dogs thru the forest and knows other husky racers that go thru the thetford forest. WE had a great chat today and i have emailed her a large photo of the dogs and the link to the dogs missing which she will let other husky racers thru the forest know

This morning myself and another volunteer set out at track 21 ( 2 mile bottom almost opposite the picnic site ) we walked it to little Lodge farm then followed the train lines up to a cottage in the woods where we spoke to a gentleman and left him a poste. We then walked to the scout camp site and gave them a poster as they have a huge event on this weekend. Returned to the car after that. Sadly no sightings of the dogs. There were however several sets of prints the right size in areas that aren't particularly usual dog walking routes.
Will return to search if there are further sightings
KellyR - Area Volunteer, Suffolk
Will be out searching Saturday if these girls haven't made it home by then
Stay positive Forestry x

Looked this evening from about 5:30 to 6:45 between St Helens Park and 2 Mile Bottom around the Scout Camp side with no luck. Talked to some other bikers out there who came from across the river with no sight of them either. =(

I have contacted the power station and spoken to a guy called Stephen Hinde. There is an email addy for the power station but Stephen gave me his email addy. I have asked if the dogs have been seen by anyone as the power station is In the two mile bottom area. He knew nothing about the dogs. I have sent him this link on the dogs for him to print off and hang up in the employee break room. They also do have a cctv camera In operation and he will let those know working in the cctv room regarding the dogs. I have told him the two mile bottom area is rather large and there has been reported sightings in the two mile bottom area. So now the power station is informed

It's probably best to hold on to anything scenty until you have a tangible sighting. I don't have a smartphone but most people do and I believe you can pinpoint where you are with it, if those co-ordinates were to be passed over it would help loads :)Last edited: 2015-07-14 19:36:53 by Xenas Mum - Area Volunteer, Norfolk

Some dirty socks or a t shirt would do, didn't realise it was such a big area...you do need people to be precise.
LadyTrojan
you may already know this but nicky Russell is the forestry commission contact for the two mile bottom area I hope you don't mind but I sent an email to nicky Russell at nicky.russell@forestry.gsi.gov.uk and informed of this sighting of 2 dogs In the two mile bottom area. I passed this link to the 2 dogs. I hope you don't mind perhaps I am double tracking that done nickys phone number is 0300 067 4546
apologies if this is already done

Next time I go out I could leave a couch pillow. My dogs were allowed on the couch (as seen in pic) so they will smell themselves and my family on them. But I still have the problem where I am not being given precise locations where they are to know where to leave the pillow. Are they being seen in the Scout Camp? In the open field behind the power station? East of power station where the 4X4 dirt roads are, Across the river and bridge near the scout camp?! Or even across the rail, and the carriageway at 2 Mile Bottom trail head, and not the scout camp?!
Forestry
Just got back, No luck. I went to 2 Mile Bottom on the Scouts camps side where I found people camping who said they have been there all day with no dog sightings. I still walked around a bit then went to the other side of the carriageway to 2 Mile Bottom trail head. Where the hikers there had no sightings. =( I wish these sightings where more descriptive on which 2 Mile bottom location they are being seen at. And even then if they can pinpoint a closer location, being these areas are a bit large00.

Can owner leave bedding/dirty clothing?

Everything crossed that the dogs have stayed there

Helen just called me to make me aware of this sighting. I'm on my way there now to see if I can get them, I can't stay out too long due to babysitting, and I have a prior engagement tonight at 6pm...

Thank you Lynn for posting, I have spoken to the owner and let her know about this possible sighting.

Someone just informed me two dogs spotted at 2 mile bottom couple of hours ago
DogLostHelen - Regional Co-ordinator - Norfolk, Suffolk and Cambridge
I have just taken a call from Network Rail saying that there has been NO sightings at all of these 2 dogs along the railway line where they went missing, if there are any sightings called in they will be in contact with myself or the owner.
LadyTrojan
Many places I visited had no clue about the dogs. There is never harm in recovering ground and as it was a personal effort to assist then all help and the appreciation that its essential to keep recovering ground in particular In the area where they had been initially seen but sadly chased off https://www.petfinder.com/dogs/lost-and-found-dogs/find-lost-dog/
Forestry
LadyTrojan thanks, but your revisiting all the sights I've already visited myself numerous times and have already informed and left my contact info with. If it's an issue please don't waste your petrol. These same Farms, locals, my neighbors and friends will contact me if they see them or they are able to catch them. All your doing is retracing my steps talking to the same locals and authorities that I have already informed. I know the dogs are not there, if they were Jeff would call me!
Forestry
I had contact the police on the second day per my villager's recommendations, but the police informed me they did not take reports for missing dogs or sightings, but referred me to my local Council -Whom I have already contacted both Suffolk and South Northfolk Councils whom both have my contact info. I'm currently at work, so thank you for your support.
LadyTrojan
burnt up 15 pounds on petrol I chatted to the guy who had spotted them at the little lodge and gave chase to them stopped by caravan park. stopped at several remote homes & enquired. went to st Helens stopped various points and searched Had binoculars with me. No sign of the dogs. It is very remote area. limited amount of homes. need more posters up.spoke to any one spotted along travels ie bikers walkers no sign.
LadyTrojan
When I contacted network rail today they told me to contact the British Transport Police regarding the dogs as they filed no such reports nor handled them and that the BTP should be made aware so that's done
DogLostHelen - Regional Co-ordinator - Norfolk, Suffolk and Cambridge
Thank you Lady Trojan I also contacted Network Rail yesterday to make then aware of these 2 dogs....
LadyTrojan
Should the dogs be recovered then communication with the BTP at phone number 0800405040 quoting the assigned number of 16512072015. The line along the area of where they are missing is important to be aware of this situation as all bases should be covered In the event of either sighting or mishap.
LadyTrojan
The railway line runs directly through the area I have contacted the British Transport Police in the event of a possibility of the dogs being hit by a train or sighted by train driver personnel or by the British Transport Police. The reference number on this is 16512072015 the BTP will contact with any info if there is any info available or ever becomes available

Just got back from about a 3hr bike ride all through St Helens Park, along the Little Ouse River, 2 Mile Bottom Camp Site (talked to the Scouts), The Power Station and bike track, and then back across the river to Little Lodge Farm and into Santon Downham. Still no Luck. We saw a lot of people out hiking and camping today and no one has had any sightings. =(

Please do not put posters on the trees unless you have the Rangers permission (very unlikely) The Rangers will keep a look out for you so ensure they have posters to carry with them.

Thank you KellyR for going out to poster for these 2 x
Forestry
They still have not returned. =( Thanks for helping with posters. I'm going to get some and post by the forestry and possibly somewhere at 2 Mile Bottom. I'm going out today prior to work with my husband and a friend on mountain bikes to cover more ground all between Santon Downham and 2 Mile Bottom areas. Again I've called the Norfolk and Suffolk Councils and the Kennels they use, neither have picked-up the dogs, which still concerns me they have been stolen. =(Last edited: 2015-07-11 11:04:04 by Forestry

Can anyone in this area help the owner by putting up posters please! The more posters there are the better chance they have of being found x
Forestry
My pups are still lost! I had to return to work last night and work all throughout this weekend -even Sunday, So I wont be able to look. =( . I just looked this morning again around Santon Downham village. At this point with no more sightings I'm frightened they have been stolen. Dog theft is big in this area. My Dogs are microchiped and if picked up by the proper authorities I would have been contacted by now. Last edited: 2015-07-10 11:55:07 by Forestry

we will be driving through that way (A134) tomorrow so will keep a look out if they are not home by then, although it looks like they would have to cross the railway line to get over there and hopefully they won't do that.

Just got back from hiking all around forest trail 21, the second to the last turn off trail prior to the round about, St. Helens trail up to the church site and pit, and all over 2 mile bottom campsites, behind the Power station and across the river until it connects to a large forestry road. All with no Luck. Other hikers and bikers we spoke to in the area did not see them either. =(

Bumped due to these sightings, hoping these 2 will be home very soon.

Just received another sighting from last night, possibly at Broom Covert area next to the Power Station and Rugby fields, but on the South side of the road closer to river and A11. Going there now to look! BTW the family who's called me with the last to sightings thank you so much!

Forestry
Just made a loop (5:30pm)around Santon Downham road to Little Lodge Farm and taking the dirt road back through the forest along the river with no sign of them. They must be in the woods between there somewhere. It was Little Lodge that reported the sighting the night before and saw the dogs run down the dirt road along the river we just took. My kids are tired so we're home for tea, we'll have to try again in the morning, We're hoping for more sightings by then to help us. Thanks everyone for all the shares!

I have not called the Vets, But I have called the Forest Council, the local Kennels, the Forestry Office in Santon Downham, called 101, a few local Businesses, and villagers, all who are on the lookout. =) Last edited: 2015-07-08 17:00:58 by Forestry
