First steps if you lose your dog in Chadderton

  1. 1

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

    Tip from locals

    Search Alkrington Woods and Daisy Nook Country Park, both about 2.5 miles away, and follow the River Irk out of town along its path.

  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 dog walkers in Tandle Hill Park, about 1.7 miles away, and Alexandra Park, roughly 1.4 miles, 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 Hollinwood to the south, about 2 miles, Blackley to the south-west, around 3.7 miles, and Milnrow to the north, roughly 4.7 miles, in the alert.
