MORE <\/strong>than 8,000 people have joined a Facebook group for a missing cockapoo dog<\/p>\n

 <\/strong>Izzy disappeared 11 months ago and her family has put up hundreds of posters around the Radcliffe area and handed out thousands of leaflets to local businesses<\/p>\n

A Fnd Izzy Facebook page<\/a> has been picking up as many as 700 shares a day.<\/p>\n

Dawn Purvis, husband Ian and children Lauren, 14 and Eve, eight, have been hunting for their five-year-old pooch since February 2015.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The beloved Cockapoo – a poodle and  Cocker Spaniel cross – went missing after builders let themselves into the family's home to do some work, triggering the alarm and frightening Izzy, causing her to flee.<\/p>\n

The builders tried their best to catch the dog, but Izzy has not been seen since.<\/p>\n

There have been several sightings of her, especially in  Outwood Road and Ringley Road in Radcliffe.<\/p>\n

\n

 Lots of people have taken the story to heart, it’s really touched us<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Ian, 44, said on Facebook: “It’s very humbling how so many people, most of whom we’ve never even met, have taken the time to help us – especially considering how many came out to help us on Sunday on such a miserable day.”<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Izzy is described as very timid but friendly, with champagne coloured fur, a light brown nose and a bright pink collar.<\/p>\n

The family believe somebody may have rehomed Izzy and constant appeals for whoever has her to ‘let her go’ are posted daily by Izzy’s family.<\/p>\n

Dawn is making non-profit calendars<\/a> for the New Year, which cost £5 with a £1 donation to a charity for dogs<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The calendar features Izzy’s picture along with other missing dogs in the area, and has been put together by 12 different owners who have all lost their pooches.<\/p>\n

The family have made a film about Izzy to help in te search for the missing pooch.<\/p>\n
