In reply to SS21 comment. Does it look like the dog has had puppies to you, in this gypsy camp?

I have seen a dog just like Willow in Kent. There is a Gypsy site at Ridham Dock, near Iwade in Kent where I live and where I walk my own dogs along the estuary. This dog is chained up and has only a small little kennel. I saw it only yesterday. There appears to be lots of other dogs just wandering about the site or chained up. Obviously I can't be sure 100% it is Willow but I remember seeing on facebook about the search for her and this dog looks very much like her.

Thanks Cockers2 for your message. Yes I have shared this to my group page on FB. Sadly the dog has been heavily bred from so not Willow as she is spayed. Thank you for thinking of us though & glad to hear this dog is in a loving home now.

Hi Freya have you seen the Facebook page for hopes new road to recovery. This is a brown spaniel purchased at a horse fair in Kent. The new ‘ owner’ says she is 6 year old and originally came from Wolverhampton. She is chipped but to the breeder. If you haven’t already it might be worth a look. The new ‘ owner’ is open to reuniting if stolen.

Willow is featuring on BBC1 Rip Off Britain on Monday, 20th January at 9.15 am.

Find me on the BBC 9:15-10am on 20th I am talking about how heartbreaking it is to have a dog taken, how the law doesn’t fit the crime & how little is done to help.
I just hope the more publicity on TV & in papers will mean people will start to think more & if laws are changed they become strict enough to deter thieves from stealing our family members. Fingers crossed this Year Willow is home #letsgetwillowhome . #fernslaw #tukslaw & the #pettheftreform become law 🀞🏼🀞🏼🀞🏼 #stolendog #dognapping #bbcshow #ontv #tvshowondognapping #checkthechip #scanme #comehome #2020fingerscrossed #VetsGetScanning Last edited: 2020-01-19 08:32:28 by VetsGetScanning

Willow’s chip is definitely up to date & registered as I only changed her details in April 18 as we moved then. Crawley is also about 3 hours away, so I doubt this dog is her.
claire
Copied fromFB 1st Feb. "Yesterday evening a deceased dog was bought into Harvest Vets- Maidenbower, Crawley West Sussex by police. Was described as a liver/brown spaniel type dog. Is microchipped but hasn't been registered to database. No collar. Was found on M23 (unsure exactly where) Police and Harvest staff have advised not to view dog due to injuries sustained. Also unsure of gender due to injuries. We have the chip number so hopefully can be ID'd this way. Police CAD number is 890 31/1/19" Possibly dumped after being made too hot to handle ? x

People aware that this dog might be in survival mode. No confirmation it’s definitely Willow, only that’s it brown but more importantly needs reuniting ASAP.

HI, I have seen a similar dog on Facebook. long shot maybe but thought it worth adding. it does say on the advert via Jenny Wright Doglost Hampshire - cant copy pic. it shows on Facebook under a lady called Sarah Jane Sinden but she has shared it with several people.

Found Fareham Hampshire. Female poor condition. Has collar but no tag. Swollen face and not eating . Have advised finder to scan and inform dog warden

UPDATE

Chipped but chip not registered. Aged approx 6 based on chip date and vets best guess. Filthy dirty, very short dock, her mouth is swollen as her teeth are bleeding, falling out and the smell is like death, weight 6.7 kg. We have given go ahead for immediate vet work on her teeth as she is at risk of sepsis or worse, small amount of white on chest. More pics added. We have called her Wilma :)
Any questions regarding Wilma please contact Spaniel Aid as I am just cross posting for reference xx
