Here's an update:

PRESS RELEASE RE STOLEN DOGS 15th December 2011

We are delighted to say that 2 of our dogs were recovered by the Gardai Monday evening the husky and lurcher. We could not announce till now as the Gardai asked us not to. The 3 terriers are still missing and we appeal to the public to watch out if they are offered for sale. Both dogs are in foster care now and are not available for adoption. The Gardai have requested at this stage that is all the details we can give. We are very grateful for the wonderful work the Gardai have done for our dogs .

Thursday December 15, 2011, 8:59 am
Who would do this!?

Thursday December 15, 2011, 10:59 am
Horrible!
I hope all the animals are found safe and well.

Thursday December 15, 2011, 1:09 pm
Thnx for the update Ginger! I pray for the other doggies' safe return! It's still mind blowing as to why anyone would do such an AWFUL thing!

Thursday December 15, 2011, 3:08 pm
stressing news. hope they will be found.

Thursday December 15, 2011, 6:22 pm
Some real low life scum bags at work here...I hope the rest of the dogs will be found soon...

Friday December 16, 2011, 12:08 am
Thank you Ginger! When I saw this I was so upset -- just thinking WHO and WHY and WHAT TYPE OF HORRIFIC person/people do this!!!???? Want to SMAK/SLAP THEM SILLY! No fit words Hope they are all found and those people that took them ROT IN HELL YOU POS!

Friday December 16, 2011, 12:52 am
Lets pray that these beautiful dogs are found and the scum that did this are given the sentences they deserve. Its about time the thugs and scum that appear to be among our Society are given tough sentences and made to suffer for their crimes. I am sick to death of these bits of scum ruining the lives of decent people and animals. The World would be a better place without them; I wish them all the worst!!!

sad

Friday December 16, 2011, 1:43 am
The horrors of this society never cease!

Friday December 16, 2011, 1:58 am
disgraceful

Friday December 16, 2011, 2:25 am
disgraceful

Friday December 16, 2011, 2:57 am
Hope they are retrieved O.K.

Friday December 16, 2011, 4:13 am
may they be treated now as they have treated these little ones

Friday December 16, 2011, 5:28 am
Thank you for the update. It sounds as if the thieves were planning to sell these dogs, so let's hope the terriers are found as well. There are some despicable people in the world!

Friday December 16, 2011, 6:16 am
That's great to hear that the dogs have been recovered!

Friday December 16, 2011, 9:25 am
OOh Thank GOD two sweet ones were found ..ampraying that theothers will be.. thank You!

Friday December 16, 2011, 10:33 am
Noted with hope!

Friday December 16, 2011, 11:09 am
noted and hoping the rest will be found too

Friday December 16, 2011, 12:43 pm
I hope they don't hurt the dogs or use them for bait dogs! I pray God allows and aides the police to catch the criminals and prosecute them to the letter of the law! this looks like it was planned just the fact that they let air out of shelter vehicles tires.

Friday December 16, 2011, 12:45 pm
thanks.

Friday December 16, 2011, 12:53 pm
Sad! I hope the rest are found safely!

Friday December 16, 2011, 12:56 pm
Horrendous. Perhaps the place needs to have humans on the premises at all times.

Friday December 16, 2011, 1:02 pm
How awful...but glad they got 2 back.

Friday December 16, 2011, 1:09 pm
First thing I thought of was that the takers were the abusers trying to get rid of the evidence to avoid initial prosecution for abuse. Check out where they live..probably find traces of the dogs there. Hang the bastards!

Friday December 16, 2011, 1:18 pm
Hope that the remainder of the dogs are safely recovered also.

Friday December 16, 2011, 1:54 pm
I hope the other dogs can be rescued too. TY Ginger for this post!

Friday December 16, 2011, 2:05 pm
I hope to god that they find these dogs alive. If the people who took them have anything to do with their abuse, the chances that they'll be found alive are not good. This is just barbaric.

Friday December 16, 2011, 2:36 pm
Good news that some of the dogs have returned. Let's pray the rest will also come back safe & sound.

How many MORE of these horrific events have to occur before ANY act of animal cruelty like this is treated as the FELONY it is? Please put pressure EVERYWHERE to toughen these laws against these SCUM-SUCKING MONSTERS who would call themselves human.

Friday December 16, 2011, 3:44 pm
This is so sad. these dogs were ready for their new lives of happiness and now they have been stolen by some some bits of scum. I do hope they are OK and are found soon.

Friday December 16, 2011, 3:45 pm
It is indeed god that 3 were found. Let's keep our hopes up for the others.

Friday December 16, 2011, 3:51 pm
Considering that even some of the animals had been recovered indicates that this is not the work of a coordinated bunch of animal abuse criminals so much as eco terrorists like Peat or ALF.

This is exactly the kind of thing that they would do under the lie that they are doing it for the animal's good. They are not; they are simply extremist cowards and criminals that should be treated as such. I am glad that some of the dogs have been recovered and hope that the rest are recovered safely and the criminals responsible are prosecuted to the maximum extent of the law.

Friday December 16, 2011, 5:03 pm
Whoever did this is the lowest of the low. Hope they find them and the dogs find loving homes.

Friday December 16, 2011, 6:46 pm
"Christopher Fowler" PETA or ALF most certainly would not have done this.They are there for animal rights and welfare.These are 2 highly commendable animal rights organistions.Most certainly scum louts/druggies animal abusers have done this.I am most worried for the welfare of these poor dogs. I would love to deal out the appropriate punishment to these scumbags.They would be incapable from ever repeating this abuse from the grave!!

Friday December 16, 2011, 9:26 pm
Hi Ginger,

Any word on the greyhound mentioned?

Saturday December 17, 2011, 3:24 am
There surely are some sick people in this world!

Saturday December 17, 2011, 4:52 am
After all, who is acting like an irrational animal? People who act this way are morons and stupid.

Saturday December 17, 2011, 7:18 am
It must be that these poor animals were taken because they wanted to ask for Money, I am so discussed with humans because they will do the most horrible things just for paper Money!!!

Saturday December 17, 2011, 8:44 am
I hope the thugs will be found. What a shame! How is it possible to do that?

Saturday December 17, 2011, 10:39 am
Poor dogs! Stupid people!

Sunday December 18, 2011, 6:38 am
what a disgrace

Sunday December 18, 2011, 10:19 am
I guess it was the abusers that took what they think is their property back. Good some of the dogs are found.

Sunday December 18, 2011, 12:17 pm
Thank you. Noted with sadness. I do hope the thieves will be found and get the hardest punishment they'll never forget in their whole life.

Sunday December 18, 2011, 12:46 pm
How terrible! Poor animals. I wonder what have happened to them. I hope they were stolen by animal friendly people though!

Monday December 19, 2011, 9:00 am
It appears that the other dogs are still missing. I hope they are ok.

Sunday December 25, 2011, 8:15 pm
What is wrong with people, that can do this. Hope the others will be found and are okay.

Wednesday December 28, 2011, 8:57 pm
Sounds like it was the same people who committed the first crime against these dogs. Hope they can locate the dogs and the people who did this. Good thing they had security camera's in the building. People like this don't deserve to walk among society. Hope they are locked up for the rest of their lives or better yet, executed.
