First steps if you lose your dog in Fayetteville

  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 toward Mazarick Park, about 1.5 miles away, and J. Bayard Clark Park & Nature Center, about 2.4 miles off, since a dog can cover a lot of 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.

  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 North Street Park, about 1.6 miles away, and at the one dog park within about 3 miles, 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

    Include Haymount, about 1.3 miles west, Williams Village, about 1.6 miles south, and Lakedale, about 2.2 miles south-west, when you spread the word.
