Appeal to find missing dog
 
An urgent appeal has gone out from a frantic dog owner whose German Shepherd dog called Roxy has been missing for nearly three months...

"We have tried everything to find her – putting up posters within a seven-mile radius of where she disappeared, emailing and contacting every dog warden, vet, local authority, rubbish tips, pet shops, eating places, pubs, milkmen, postmen and sorting offices. But we still haven't found her," said owner Karen Harding.

Rescue dog Roxy went missing from Denham Country Park in Buckinghamshire on February 12.

"Roxy has been sighted at the M40 junction above Denham Roundabout, and then sleeping on a drive in Gerrards Cross and on Gerrards Cross Common.

"From there it seems she made her way on to the M25 where the Highways Agency and RSPCA tried to catch her, but with no luck.

"She was last spotted  outside the Dogs Trust in Harefield. This was confirmed by the police, but she hadn’t been caught."

A massive volunteer search was arranged from the Dogs Trust car park, and many people scoured the countryside but there have been no further sightings..

"As you can imagine we are absolutely desperate to hear of her whereabouts. I would really appreciate any information at all and would ask everyone to be extra vigilant as they are driving and walking around the area."
