First steps if you lose your dog in Fresno

  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 Dry Creek No. 75 canal, about 1.1 miles away, and the Herndon No. 39 canal, around 1.2 miles off.

  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 one vet practice within about 3 miles and local police straight away, and tell them which canal you searched first.

  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 at Roeding Park, about 2.4 miles away, and Calwa Park, around 2.4 miles off, to watch and call calmly 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

    Tell Calwa, about 2.7 miles south, and Sunnyside, around 4.4 miles east, that a dog may already have reached them, so include them in the alert.
