First steps if you lose your dog in Stockport

  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 Chorlton Brook, about 1.7 miles out, and through Bruntwood Park, about 2.6 miles away.

  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 Woodbank Memorial Park, about 0.8 miles from the centre, 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

    Report to the microchip registry, then include Burnage, about 2.4 miles north-west, Didsbury, roughly 3.0 miles west, and Haughton Green, around 3.4 miles north-east, in the alert.
