First steps if you lose your dog in El Paso

  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 Río Bravo / Rio Grande, about 0.6 miles away, and the Franklin Canal, about 1.1 miles off, where a dog can cover several miles.

  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 1 vet practice within about 3 miles straight away, and ask them to call you if a dog is 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 Parque Público Federal El Chamizal, about 1.4 miles away, and at Lower Tom Lea Park, around 1.2 miles off, to watch and call rather than chase.

  4. 4

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

    Tip from locals

    Put the scent item on the side of the I 10 highway away from the traffic, about 0.4 miles away.

  5. 5

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

    Tip from locals

    Include Mission Hills, about 2.2 miles north, Smeltertown, around 2.9 miles north-west, and La Guna, about 3 miles north-west, when you spread the word.
