First steps if you lose your dog in Wednesbury

  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 Tame Valley Canal and Ford Brook, about 0.6 and 1.6 miles away, then into Sandwell Valley Country Park, around 2.7 miles out.

  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 at Sheepwash Urban Park, about 1.7 miles from the centre, and Dartmouth Park, around 2.5 miles away, 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

    Include Smethwick, about 4.7 miles to the south-east, Rowley Regis, around 4.8 miles to the south, and Netherton, about 5.3 miles to the south-west, in the alert.
