First steps if you lose your dog in Greensboro

  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 North Buffalo Creek corridor and Barber Park, about 2.4 miles away, since a dog can cover several miles 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 7 vet practices 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 Lindley Park, about 2.5 miles away, and Starmount Park, about 2.6 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.

  5. 5

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

    Tip from locals

    Include Nocho Park, about 1.2 miles east, and Glenwood, about 1.6 miles southwest, in the alert, as a dog may already have reached them.
