Marbella Stolen Dog Forum

by Better Marbella

Increasingly dogs get snatched form cars, their leashes, gardens and parks. Dog owners need to protect themselves against this development. Against getting victimized again. We, dog owners, can do that by building a framework to hold thieves and the organisations behind them accountable. Who knows in doing so, we eventually get law changes to come about helping us to bring thieves to justice.

This is the first Stolen Dog Forum for dog owners in Marbella. Use it to connect by sharing the stories and photos so we can learn from each other and find patterns to get on the trail of those obviously wanting to make a few euros on the side at our expense.

However , to this forum, also and especially are invited those who have information but are too afraid to come forward in the natural.

And police officers, the Ayuntamiento, law makers and politicians:

They may want to post tips and ideas and warnings even?

Anything goes but when you post make sure to keep it a short clear description of your dog with a picture. Give as much information as possible on where it happened, what you did before it happened, how it could happen, and a description of the thieves. You may even have a picture of them! Post it! Include all characteristics like a crooked leg or very large nose. Also tell us about vehicles you noticed and possible others involved. Everything helps. But check for typos before you hit the send button. Messages too long and not proper English are not read. Also avoid accusing, swearing and name calling because Marbella Family Fun moderator will not post it: Read the rules carefully!

Go for it. Together we can get stronger, wiser and prepared. Together we can change Marbella for the better.

We need to. We have no choice.
