First steps if you lose your dog in Deer Valley

  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 Scatter Wash, about 0.4 miles out, then North 19th Avenue, about 2 miles away, since a dog can cover several miles in the first hours.

  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 local police and the 6 vets within 5 km straight away, then send them a clear recent photo of your dog and where it was last seen.

  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 Deer Valley Park and Stetson Hills Park to watch and call calmly rather than chase, since a chase can push a scared dog farther off.

  4. 4

    Leave something carrying your scent, plus water, where he went missing, and check back regularly.

    Tip from locals

    Leave the scent item on the side away from I 17, a motorway about 1.3 miles from the center, and put water beside it.

  5. 5

    Report him to the microchip registry and start a targeted alert that reaches the whole neighbourhood at once.

    Tip from locals

    Tell the microchip registry, then start a targeted alert covering Saddlehorn Ranch, about 4.3 miles south-west, and Sunset Vista, about 4 miles south-west, where a dog may already have reached.
