First steps if you lose your dog in Sligo

  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 Copper River, 700 metres from the centre, then towards Hazelwood, a wood about 2.9 km 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.

    Tip from locals

    Phone the 3 vet practices within 5 km and the local police early, so the first hours are not lost.

  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 walkers in Greenfort Park, 300 metres from the centre, and Mitchell Curley Park, 1.8 km out, to watch and call, not 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

    A dog may already have reached Ballisodare, 7.1 km to the south, or Carney, 8.3 km to the north-west, so list both.
