Appeal to locate lost dog who has been running loose in Nottinghamshire for seven weeks

The black labrador, similar to the one pictured, was traced to Edwinstowe last month and volunteers from an animal welfare group managed to track and catch her ready for identification but, unfortunately, she managed to escape as she was placed into holding kennels.

She has covered a huge area in the weeks she has been loose – it is believed she may now be in Worksop, however she may also be attempting to return to previous areas she has been spotted, which include Edwinstowe, Ravenshead and Bilsthorpe.

Beauty’s Legacy, an animal welfare group, specialises in tracking and reuniting lost pets, and have now put out an appeal for the public’s help to locate the dog.

A volunteer said: “This poor girl has been loose now for around seven weeks – she must be terrified and she’s getting thin.

"If you see her, please do not approach, call or try and catch her, just ring one of the numbers on the poster.

"It’s really important she doesn’t get spooked, so please just report it so we can get experienced trackers to help catch her safely.

“There are currently 38 black labradors registered with DogLost – we really want to return her back to her owners if we can.

"She has already covered a huge area so she could be from anywhere in the Midlands, or have been stolen and sold from another part of the country.

"It is getting colder so we just need to find her.”

Please report sightings by ringing: 07742173028, 07866026343 or 07794556220
