Thought this should be posted here, an utterly horrific story,
cross posted from social site but all apparently verified with proof of incident from pound and dog warden:



Posted by Doris Banham by Karen Boxerbonkers Broxholme

I am one coordinators of Doris Banham Dog Rescue I have been asked by the trustee to post up some information on Lola as so many people were kindley looking for her and are shocked ...by what has happened. This is fact - this is not heresay. We have been working hard to get physical evidence before we released a statement. Lola was NEVER in Doncaster. This is why she was never found. Lola was in the vets when we picked up the story of what happened to her. It just so happened one of our volunteers were in with their own dog and heard what happened about the canal and the car accident. The vets told us she would be going to Halifax pound if noone came forward for her. Our volunteer knew this would mean certain death for Lola as this particular pound do not work with rescues so she got the Dog warden to allow Lola to be signed over to us to do her 28 stray days in our kennels in Coningsby. We then appealed for a transport volunteer as unfortunatley none of our own drivers were free to take Lola from Halifax down to Coningsby. This is were Diane Graham comes into the story as a transport volunteer. We checked her out and as she is a coordinator for another known rescue so trusted her. Lola was handed over to Diane who was going to have Lola at her house over night ready for the run the next day on the 31st Dec. We got a lovely email from Diane with some photos saying what a lovely dog Lola was. The next day we got a text from Diane saying that she had lost Lola in Donacaster and she also put this on her own 'another site' page saying she had lost the dog in the park. We couldnt understand why the dog was in Doncaster as it wasnt on the way- but Diane switched her phone off and refused to speak to us about Lola again. You may have noticed she never joined in with the search for Lola. This is because she knew Lola was no where near Doncaster. We now know that the Doncaster story was a lie and this is what infact happened :- Diane Graham never took Lola on the transport run and instead for reasons only known to her she phoned the dog warden on the 31st and allerted them to a stray brindle staffy with a skin condition and no collar (she had removed it) and could they collect her. Lola was signed over to Halifax pound that day from Dianes home. We have proof of this - she was signed over in Dianes own name & address. Unbeknown to us and thinking she was in Doncaster we then started this page and have had many people out searching for Lola since. The pound even got a call from Diane Grahams partner Lisa stating they wanted the dog back. The pound agreed and waiting for them to come with the release fee of £80 to collect Lola. The pound waited 11 days - longer then they normally do and noone came for her. She was put to sleep yesterday. Not once did either Diane Graham or her partner tell us what they had done or even that Lola was in the pound in Halifax- we would have gone and got her immediately. Diane Graham washed her hands of this little staffy , has now removed her pages from 'another site' and will not answer her phone. As fas as we are concerned she killed Lola. We can not for the life of us understand why on earth any of this happened. We are seaking legal advise. None of what I have put is gossip - its is fact and we have proof from the Dog wardens & Pound. If we were ever going to be able to save any lives from this pound - that relationship has probably been destroyed for ever now. RIP LOLA - we tried so hard to save you little girl and will never forget you. The volunteers directley involved in this are heart broken. Why??
RIP Lola - note to follow <3
WHY Indeed? Please do NOT attempt to justify the actions of this piece of filth. PLEASE DO share this note widely. There can be NO justification for her actions whatsoever. The blood of this STUNNING dog will forever be on her hands

There's been such an uproar over this on Facebook, and a fair bit more has come out (that I won't post, not until it's verified). Everything about it, all the lies, everything, breaks my heart. Completely and utterly.
