First steps if you lose your dog in Baton Rouge

  1. 1

    Search outward along roads, paths and fields — a dog can cover several kilometres in the first few hours.

    Tip from locals

    Search along the Mississippi River, about 0.7 miles away, and the Port Allen Canal, roughly 1.4 miles out, as corridors a dog may follow.

  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

    Dog walkers gather at Parade Grounds, about 2.0 miles out, and at the 3 dog parks nearby; ask them to watch and call 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

    Tell Port Allen Landing, about 1.0 mile to the north-west, Brusly, roughly 5.2 miles to the south-west, and Merrydale, about 6.1 miles to the north-east, where a dog may already have reached.
