First steps if you lose your dog in Hucknall

  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 Leen and toward Bestwood Country Park, about 1.6 miles away, then Burntstump County Park, roughly 2.6 miles off.

  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 people in Leen Valley Country Park, about 1 mile away, and at Merlin Park, 1.3 miles off, 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

    Name Papplewick 1.4 miles north-east, Ravenshead 3.8 miles north-east and Calverton about 5 miles east as places a dog may already have reached.

What should I do if I find a stray dog in Hucknall?

Hucknall is covered by Ashfield District Council, whose dog warden collects stray dogs on weekdays between 8:30am and 5:00pm. The council cannot collect roaming dogs, so a found dog must first be secured somewhere it can be collected, and the finder gives the exact location. Unclaimed dogs are not rehomed until after seven days.
