First steps if you lose your dog in North Shields

  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 Tyne and the Brierdene Burn, which act as corridors, then check Rising Sun Country Park, about 2.4 miles away, and Silverlink Park, roughly 2.1 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 dog walkers in North Marine Park, about 1.1 miles away, and West Park, roughly 2.4 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

    Include Seaton Delaval, about 4.9 miles north-west, and The Boldons, roughly 5.1 miles south, in your alert, since a dog may already have reached them.
