First steps if you lose your dog in Bellshill

  1. 1

    Search outward along roads, paths and fields — a dog can cover several kilometres in the first few hours.

    Tip from locals

    Search outward along the North Calder Water and the River Clyde, then the open ground of Drumpellier Country Park, about 2.9 miles away.

  2. 2

    Call the shelter, the local police and nearby vets straight away: a loose dog is usually picked up and handed in quickly.

  3. 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 North Haugh and Bothwell Road Public Park, both around 2.4 miles away, to watch and call calmly rather than chase.

  4. 4

    Leave something carrying your scent, plus water, where he went missing, and check back regularly.

  5. 5

    Report him to the microchip registry and start a targeted alert that reaches the whole neighbourhood at once.

    Tip from locals

    Include Bothwell, about 2.1 miles to the south-west, and Carfin, around 2.6 miles to the east, in the registry alert so the owner covers the villages a dog may already have reached.
