An influencer has launched a desperate plea for help finding her missing dog Stella after the pooch disappeared almost two weeks ago in an apparent dogknapping. 

Lucia Chalmers, a digital creator and head of Global PR and Partnerships for jewellery brand Missoma, first appealed for help on June 20. 

The mother-of-one said it had been 48 hours since Stella had disappeared from a home in Send near Woking in north-west Surrey. 

It is understood the crossbreed got loose while Ms Chalmers and her family were abroad. They have since returned to the UK. 

Ms Chalmers asked her online community to reshare a missing poster for Stella, who she now believes to have been stolen. 

‘Our most precious Stella is still missing. It’s now been over 48 hours and we need all the help we can get,’ she wrote on Instagram. 

‘Please can I ask you to share this not only on stories but on your main feed. We need it to be out there until she’s found. 

‘We are absolutely beside ourselves and don’t know how to live without her. Please help us find our perfect girl. All information on the poster.

‘If seen please text or call the numbers. Thank you to everyone who has done so much already, please let’s bring our girl home.’

Four days later, Ms Chalmers said Stella had been declared stolen. 

‘The only way we will get her back is if we make her “too hot to handle” [so] anyone who has stolen her will be spooked or someone will spot her out and about and report her.  Please help us. We are utterly broken and have holes in our hearts,’ she wrote. 

‘Thank you to everyone who has been posting and supporting I see you and thank you with every fibre of my being. Bring our perfect Stella home.’

She shared a link to a Facebook page where sightings of Stella could be reported. 

On Tuesday, the family offered a £2,500 reward for the dog’s safe return. 

The family said Stella’s microchip had been scanned once since she disappeared and that she was spayed and could not be used for breeding. 

‘You wouldn’t get that by selling her, but she is worth every penny to her family. We will collect from anywhere,’ the post read.

Ms Chalmers has received an outpouring of support from her community, including from Georgia Habboo, the sister of Made in Chelsea star Sophie Habboo (Stella is pictured)

Stella (pictured) is said to be ‘extremely nervous’ with the family asking anyone who spots her not to pressure, call or chase her as she will run away

Stella is said to be ‘extremely nervous’ with the family asking anyone who spots her not to approach, call or chase her because she will run away. 

Ms Chalmers has received an outpouring of support from her community, including from Georgia Habboo, the sister of Made in Chelsea star Sophie Habboo. 

Georgia reshared the missing poster to her over 100,000 followers on Instagram. 

‘Perfect Stella is now presumed stolen. She has the best family and they desperately want her back!’ she wrote. 

‘The hope for that is to share her far and wide and if you know anything at all there is a number and Facebook group to share information. 

‘Please share or repost if you can.’

Stella’s lost dog ID is SEND GU23.
