A PUPPY was stolen from the Dogs Trust Evesham yesterday and trust officials are appealing for help to get it back.

The seven week old black-and-white puppy named Summer is possibly a collie cross.

Jacqui Darlow, spokeswoman at the Dogs Trust, said she believed an adult and three teenagers who were in a silver Vectra might have taken the puppy.

"They came in looking for a puppy to re-home," she explained. "When they were told they would have to go through home checks before they could have a dog, they walked out through a side gate, I believe still with the puppy in their hands."

She asked anyone who saw a new puppy at the home of a neighbour, or anyone who might know the people with the silver Vectra, to get in touch with the Trust.
