First steps if you lose your dog in Fargo

  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 Red River of the North, about 0.4 miles away, then Gooseberry Park, roughly 1.6 miles off, 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 police and the 1 vet practice within about 3 miles straight away.

  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 in Oak Grove Park and Ponte's Park 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

    A dog may already have reached Oakport, about 3.8 miles north, or Dilworth, roughly 4.1 miles east, so include them when you spread the word.
