Missing microchipped dog Lily has been found after nearly 2 years but council won’t give dog back to owners for another 7 days in case new owner comes forward!

;

The good news is that Lilly has been found but the owners who have been looking for their dog since June 2010 and have a crime reference number have been told that they have to wait seven days in case the ‘owner’ comes forward? This case is just one of the reasons why the Microchipping industry needs to be updated and regulated.
Why is the microchip NOT proof of ownership?

Sad turn of events with Lily – had a call from the dog warden, she had been found I was given a number told to ring in the morning to arrange collection. Ring in the morning and the council are refusing to let us her her incase her’owners’ show up, we have to wait the 7 days. Its been a horrible horrible day – all the info is on her FB page https://www.facebook.com/groups/144707338900230/361565990547696/?comment_id=361667040537591

This was posted by owner last night:-I’d just want to repeat that this is NOT Battersea Dogs Home fault, it is Hammersmith and Fulham Council making the rules and as I sad I’m happy to wait the 7 days, Im more than prepared to prove Lily is my dog thats not the issue – the issue is the digusting way we have been treated all day with no reason, we have not been rude to anyone. Yet they have warned us not to go to the dog home, then had security waiting for us, then hid her and moved her. That was after all the lies on the phone this morning. They called US and told US to come get her then all this.

 

Trevor Cooper is advising Hammersmith and Fulham Council!

New owners have turned up!!

It looked like Lorraine was not going to get Lily back but thanks to Doglost and Petlog she is know on her way to pick Lily up. Good sense has prevailed!!!!
