Suffolk Constabulary has published images of 48 dogs in an effort to find their owners after the animals were seized as part of a police operation last month.
Only those people who have not got in touch with the constabulary previously should contact the investigation team via the email address opscout@suffolk.pnn.police.uk if they believe one or more of the dogs could be theirs. All enquiries must be made by 24 May 2021.
Officers are asking people to use the email address only and not to contact the constabulary’s Contact and Control Room on 999 or 101.

Anyone who believes they can provide proof of ownership should email the investigation team by 24 May providing a full name, contact details and the image number which relates to the dog(s) in question. Please note, the email account will not be constantly monitored and the team will be unable to respond to any other enquiries regarding these dogs.
Proof of ownership can include the following:
- Veterinary/vaccination records clearly identifying the dogs.
- Pictures of the dog with any distinctive markings/scars/distinguishing features.
- Any details of microchipping – however, please note, all these dogs either do not have microchips or have chips which may not be correctly registered.
- Other pictures of the dog(s) which prove ownership during the dog’s life.
- Any purchase details, including details of where the dog was purchased from and/or receipts.
- Any records of reporting the dog(s) lost/stolen either to police or on other websites/charities.
- Some dogs are grouped into possible litter groups, but this is not necessarily the case.
The public should also be aware that some of these dogs may have been lost, stolen or moved on over a period of time so they may not look exactly as they did when they were last seen.
