First steps if you lose your dog in East New York

  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 Old Mill Creek and Betts Creek corridors, then the larger Forest Park, about 2 miles out, where a dog can cover ground 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 2 vets within 5 km straight away, then send them your photo and the last place you saw your dog.

  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 dogs at Highland Park and Spring Creek Park to watch and call calmly rather than chase, since a chase can push a scared dog further away.

  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 the microchip registry, then start a targeted alert covering Cypress Hills, about 0.9 miles northwest, and Ozone Park, about 2.1 miles east, where a dog may already have reached.
