We've just received an e-mail about a missing greyhound down south. I'm posting it here, on the off-chance anyone can help.

Cheers,

Hello,
I'm trying to help a friend find her lost greyhound, and very much hope you don't mind my forwarding the following (which I originally posted onto some of the sighthound forums), in the hope that if this girl finds her way into your care you will be able to help. As you can imagine, we are desperately trying every avenue we can think of.

Misty escaped from her garden in Normanton village, between Grantham and Lincoln, off the A607 last Sunday (23rdSept) teatime. She had only been in her new home for 3 weeks, and so still doesn't know the area too well.
Worryingly, at around the time Misty escaped, someone was seen just down the road putting a greyhound into their car, which does seem rather a coincidence.
Obviously, if she has been taken somewhere by car, she could be anywhere in the country by now, and despite extensive searching in the local area there has been no sign of her, so the worry now is that this may indeed be the case.

Misty is a retired racer, approx 2yrs old, white with slight flecking, and black eye patches.
Unfortunately at the time she escaped she was only wearing a house collar, with no tags, but does have an ear tattoo MK D9, and is microchipped to the Grantham area rescue centre she originally came from.
She is quite a timid girl, and will now be more so, being lost and frightened or with people she doesn't know

If anyone thinks they may have seen her, if a new greyhound fitting her description has turned up where there wasn't one previously, on the loose, with neighbours, in the park, coursing or whatever, please bear in mind it could be her.

Misty's owner can be contacted on 01400 250315

She is registered with DogLost;

There is a cash reward.

Misty's owners are so worried about their little girl.....it seems so unfair that this should happen just when she'd found her lovely forever home.

Thanks for reading

Heidi
