First steps if you lose your dog in Fareham

  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 River Alver, about 1.7 miles away, and then Alver Valley Country Park, roughly 2.7 miles off, since dogs can cover a lot of ground in the first hours.

  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 at Blackbrook Recreation Ground, about 1.5 miles away, and Bridgemary Park, roughly 1.7 miles off, to watch and call rather than chase.

  4. 4

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

    Tip from locals

    The A27 is only about 0.1 miles away, so keep any scent item on the quieter side, away from that road.

  5. 5

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

    Tip from locals

    Tell people in Wickham, about 3.3 miles north, and Lee-on-the-Solent, roughly 3.6 miles south, since a dog may already have reached them.
