Appeal To Find Missing Dog Rose In Apse Heath And Lower Hyde

A desperate appeal has been launched to help locate Rose, a missing dog currently on holiday on the Isle of Wight, who has become lost in the Apse Heath and Lower Hyde areas.

Specialist search support is being provided by Drone SAR For Lost Dogs IOW, a volunteer-led team dedicated to locating and safely recovering missing dogs across the Island.

Rose is a 15-year-old rescue dog and is described as extremely nervous and fearful of people.

She is likely to avoid human contact and will only approach her owner.

While she may show some interest in other dogs, she is expected to run away if approached or if someone moves towards her.

Members of the public are being strongly urged not to call, approach, or attempt to catch her, as this could push her further away and reduce the chances of bringing her to safety.

Search teams say the safest and most effective way to secure Rose will likely be through the use of a humane trap, once her movements are better understood.

Rose has only been sighted twice so far, both times crossing fields in the Apse Heath and Lower Hyde areas, making it difficult to track her movements.

Search teams are working to gather information, and public sightings are vital in helping to build a picture of her location.
