Good evening,
 
We have a local 'Dog Watch' website (run in conjunction with the Thames Valley Police) that issues regular updates regarding dog thefts, illegal coursing etc and the following warning came through to me today that may be of interest to other Members.

Dog Re-homing Scam

A man is running a website ostensibly for re-homing dogs, called homedogz.  He charges people to re-home their dogs and then just dumps them.  Two of the dogs that he had obtained were left tied to a post outside a rescue centre. The police and other agencies are involved. The man behind this has been prosecuted in Scotland for the same thing.   It is believed that he has now moved to near Bridgend, South Wales.
