First steps if you lose your dog in Kirkby in Ashfield

  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 Erewash and the River Maun, about 1 and 1.2 miles away, and then Sutton Lawn, about 1.5 miles off, to cover the ground a dog can reach fast.

  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 Brierley Forest Park, about 2.5 miles away, and Sutton Lawn, about 1.5 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 Pinxton, about 3.1 miles west, Blackwell, about 3.9 miles west, and Papplewick, about 4 miles south-east, in the alert so neighbours there can keep watch.
