On 22nd April 2026, I lost my sandy Golden Retriever, Taïga, in Tabernas, Almería, Spain - or she may have been stolen. All the authorities have been notified. What else can I do? I still haven't had any news. Thank you.

    Hello, I’m so sorry to hear this. As she’s been missing for several weeks now, you unfortunately have to consider both the possibility that she’s wandered a long way and that she might have been stolen. Notifying the relevant authorities was a good first step. I would recommend widening your search area beyond Tabernas. If possible, put up posters with a photo, the date she went missing, and a contact number (in the +33... format). Check her microchip details regularly: your contact information must be up to date, she should be flagged as 'stolen/missing', and ideally, an alert should pop up if the chip is scanned. You could also try monitoring adverts for cream-coloured Golden Retrievers and local Spanish Facebook groups. Don't hesitate to contact local shelters, pounds, animal rescue organisations, and vet practices in the area; they should be able to check if a dog matching her description has been brought in recently. Wishing you a lot of strength during this difficult time. Best regards, Quitterie
