Evesham family fear missing dog may have been taken

13 and a half-year-old Labrador Megan, went missing on Saturday February 5 after escaping through the front door and has not been seen since.

Mum of three, Stacey Mcloughlin, of Burlingham Avenue, Evesham, said: "I am desperate to get her back. 

"I am petrified she has been spotted and taken by somebody who feels she may be a breeding dog despite her old age.

"She is an older dog with a lot of medical issues so she is not at all fit for breeding which I want to stress in case she has been taken.

"I have called every shelter and have posted about her being missing everywhere I possibly can but still nobody has seen her."

Mother, Stacey Mcloughlin, with kids Colbi, Brooke and Preston.

Megan went missing on Saturday morning when Stacey discovered the front door had been left open slightly.

Stacey added: "My partner left early on Saturday to get fuel at around 7:10 am and forgot to lock the door.

"I must have come down after him no more than 20 minutes later and began to panic when I could not find Megan.

"I got in my car still in my pyjamas and drove around frantically looking for in the area, after this I was out on foot looking everywhere around us but there was no sign of her anywhere."

The family launched an appeal through a Facebook group with the help of friends, which has quickly gathered over 300 members in the Worcestershire area.

Stacey's three children have been severely struggling with Megan's didisappearancessapearence and have not been able to sleep since she disappeared.

Stacey said: "They love their dog and are obviously scared at what might have happened to her. 

"My youngest daughter has complex needs and has struggled immensely with the news.

"None of them can sleep and I have slept about six hours in the last two nights, it has been awful.

"The dog has been with the children for all of their lives, so it is very hard for them to take."
