Found today wandering in and out of traffic on the main Tyburn Road in Birmingham a red Staffordshire Bull Terrier bitch, approx 14-16 months old no more. Very lovable well looked after - someone's much loved dog.
I would guess either she's done a runner because of the fireworks last night or maybe someone left the gate/door open with last night being New Year and then she has managed to get out. She has no road sense so not a latchkey dog. No collar when found.
Good news;
Have appealed on Radio WM, to whom I owe major thanks...they were great.
People in general.
The car drivers who stopped and helped to catch her as she ran across the lanes.
Bad news,
RSPCA - not an emergency not bothered.
PDSA - closed answer machine which was full only.
Dog Warden - answer machine and a number that did not ring.
Police - take it to Barnes Hill
B'ham Dogs Home..."No use"
We kept her in work today with me - she is now a BQ dog http://209.85.48.12/3444/133/emo/0004%23.gif we let her have the run of the back receiving yard (where wagons come in) she a good mile or so of yard secure, she is lucky is was our quietist day of the year delivery wise barring Xmas Day (when we are closed)
And in the offices in the warehouse where she slept while I did paperwork, a lovely dog.
A lady from work has taken her home for tonight so she is warm and safe and fed.
Anyone aware of a missing SBT bitch please PM me. We found her about 9am this morning. But she was running loose earlier than that we have been told.
Taking her to the vets tomorrow to see if she is chipped (fingers crossed)
