First steps if you lose your dog in Wombwell

  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 Dearne Valley Park, about 2.6 miles away, and Worsbrough Country Park, around 2.5 miles off, the bigger greens where a dog can keep going.

  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 walking in Broomhill Park, about 1.2 miles away, and Elsecar Park, around 2.2 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 Darfield, 1.2 miles north-east, and Bolton upon Dearne, about 3.3 miles east, know, since a dog may already have wandered that far.
