First steps if you lose your dog in Newcastle upon Tyne

  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 through Jesmond Dene, about 1.3 miles away, then toward Watergate Forest Park at about 2.6 miles, where a dog has more room.

  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 on Town Moor, about 0.7 miles away, and Nuns Moor, about 1.2 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 Benwell, about 2.2 miles west, and Lamesley, about 4 miles south, when you spread the word.

Is the RSPCA Newcastle & North Northumberland Branch currently taking in or rehoming animals?

No. The branch states that it is currently not rehoming animals and does not have the capacity to take animals in, so it is worth contacting other shelters or the council dog warden service for strays.

How much does it cost to reclaim a stray dog from the pound in Newcastle upon Tyne?

Newcastle City Council charges the £25 statutory fee, plus a £15 handling and administration fee, plus kennelling at £25 per day, with day 1 charged at £50 because of treatments. For example, one day in the kennels costs £90 and three days cost £140. There is an extra £45 if the dog was taken in by the council's contractors outside office hours, and after seven clear days in the pound an unclaimed dog is rehomed or euthanised.
