First steps if you lose your dog in Ware

  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 Lea and the River Ash, the water corridors, then check Champions Green, about 2.7 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 people using Champions Green, about 2.7 miles away, to watch and call rather than chase, since a dog that is chased often runs further.

  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 Great Amwell, about 1.6 miles south-east, and Little Amwell, around 1.9 miles south, know, since a dog may already have reached them.
