First steps if you lose your dog in Tonypandy

  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 Afon Rhondda and the Nant Gwyn, the water corridors, toward Bronwydd Park, about 2.0 miles away, and Blaenllechau Park, around 3.0 miles.

  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 people at Penrhys Park, about 1.3 miles away, and Garth Park to watch and call rather than chase, since chasing tends to push a frightened dog further off.

  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 Ferndale, about 2.5 miles to the north, and Tonyrefail, around 3.0 miles south-east, know, since a dog may already have reached them.

What should you do if you find a stray dog in Tonypandy (Rhondda Cynon Taf) outside office hours?

Outside normal working hours (9am to 5pm, Monday to Friday) you report the dog to the council's out-of-hours line and are given a reference number, which lets you take the restrained dog straight to Hope Rescue kennels in Llanharan. Those kennels take stray dogs 5pm to 8pm Monday to Friday and 8am to 8pm at weekends and on bank holidays. In working hours an Animal Warden can collect the dog instead, and stray dogs are kept for up to seven days before the council's responsibility ends.
