First steps if you lose your dog in Finglas

  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 Santry River, about 2.8 km away, and through Santry Demesne, about 2.9 km out, as a dog can cover ground quickly.

  2. 2

    Call the shelter, the local police and nearby vets straight away: a loose dog is usually picked up and handed in quickly.

    Tip from locals

    Call the 8 vet practices within 5 km and the police straight away, alongside your search.

  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 in Tolka Valley Park and Poppintree Park not to chase, but to watch and call you instead.

  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

    A dog may already have reached Drumcondra, about 3.6 km to the south-east, or Beaumont, around 4.6 km to the east, so include both in your alert.
