First steps if you lose your dog in Kirkby

  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 toward Croxteth Hall and Country Park, about 1.7 miles away, and Tower Hill Park, roughly 0.9 miles off, where a dog may cover 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 people in Northwood Forest Hills and Tower Hill Park to watch and call calmly rather than chase, both within about a mile.

  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

    Tell the registry and share the photo in Aughton, about 4.2 miles north, and West Derby, roughly 3.4 miles south, the places a dog may already have reached.
