First steps if you lose your dog in South Hayling

  1. 1

    Search outward along roads, paths and fields — a dog can cover several kilometres in the first few hours.

    Tip from locals

    Search out along the paths of Milton Common, about 2.8 miles away, and along the Emsworth Channel, about 1.7 miles off, corridors a dog can follow.

  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 walkers on St James Green, about 3.1 miles away, and Milton Common, around 2.8 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

    Let people in Southsea, about 5 miles west, and Cosham, around 5.5 miles north-west, know, since a dog may already have reached them.

What happens to a stray dog found in Hayling Island?

Havant Borough Council collects and detains stray dogs. If the owner can't be identified through a collar and tag or microchip, the dog goes to the council's allocated kennels, and after seven days legal ownership passes to the council, which then tries to rehome it.

Are there seasonal dog restrictions on Hayling Island beaches?

Havant's dog control PSPO includes seasonal restrictions for dogs in the bathing area at Central Beachlands, and excludes dogs from areas such as recreation grounds and tennis courts. The council's page gives a fixed penalty notice of £100 for an offence under the Order.
