Dog Nappers

[Whisk_Luva]

Ok so where I live in the last month there have been so many dogs going missing. Most of them dog napped :eek: We have had... I would say over 4 going missing in the last month or so! Its just awful! :( It never used to be a problem but obviously now it is! The town is flooded with lost dog posters- always purebred dogs, I take it the dog nappers sell them and purebred dogs cost more. The worring thing is when you know people who are out alot of the day and they have purebred dogs and when you see purebred puppies, those will probably be the next targets. :eek: ! Lots of people dont even want to leave their dogs anymore.

I just hope no more go missing :(

That's frightening. Those poor dogs.

I bet they are stolen to order - poor doggies. Where I am it seems to be the pussycats that are the targets

Thats what my mum said- they are probably made to order.

When I adopted Sugar from rescue last December, I was told to NEVER take her out in the car and leave her. Like when I shop for groceries in winter? (I would never leave a dog in the car in warm weather.) Because bichons always LOOK like pups all their lives; and people actually put a fist through the window to get the dog! :eek:

I remember one time when we first got Stell, it looked like someone tried to pull her through the semi-opened window of our car. We left her in the car with the windows about 1/3 down (in the fall, it wasn't very warm), and when we came back, her collar was broken, she was acting funny, and there were pawprints on the window (this from a dog who I've NEVER seen jump at the side windows). We figured it was because she was a Yorkie-poo, and someone wanted a breeding dog, or some PETArd felt that a dog shouldn't be kept in the car, and tried to 'liberate' her. It's quite disturbing how often this kind of thing happens.
