First steps if you lose your dog in Allerton

1
Search outward along roads, paths and fields — a dog can cover several kilometres in the first few hours.
Tip from locals
Head out along the paths of Sefton Park, about 1.7 miles away, and Childwall Woods, around 1.5 miles off, both good corridors for a dog covering ground.
2
Call the shelter, the local police and nearby vets straight away: a loose dog is usually picked up and handed in quickly.
3
Ask people not to chase or shout — a frightened dog runs. Crouch down, avoid eye contact and call calmly.
Tip from locals
Ask walkers in Calderstones Park, under a mile away, and Woolton Woods and Camp Hill, just under a mile off, to watch and call calmly rather than chase.
4
Leave something carrying your scent, plus water, where he went missing, and check back regularly.
5
Report him to the microchip registry and start a targeted alert that reaches the whole neighbourhood at once.
Tip from locals
Let people in Woolton, about 1.1 miles north-east, Gateacre, 1.7 miles north-east, and Childwall, 2.1 miles north, know, since a dog may already have reached them.
