First steps if you lose your dog in Scunthorpe

  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 Trent, about 2.9 miles away, and towards Silica Country Park, roughly 1.6 miles off, which can act as corridors.

  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 Manor Park, about 0.9 miles away, and Kingsway Gardens, 1 mile off, to watch and call 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

    When you spread the word, include Broughton, about 4.3 miles to the east, and West Butterwick, around 4.4 miles to the south-west, since a dog could already have reached them.
