First steps if you lose your dog in Hollywood

  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 Forest Lawn Memorial Park, about 2.9 miles away, and the open space of Hancock Park, about 2.8 miles out, since a dog can cover several miles early on.

  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 5 vets within 5 km straight away, then send them a clear recent photo of your dog and the spot where it went missing.

  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 Pan Pacific Park and Barnsdall Art Park to watch and call your dog calmly rather than chase, since a chase can push a scared dog farther away.

  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 the microchip registry, then start a targeted alert covering Universal City, about 3.2 miles to the north-west, and Silver Lake, about 3.4 miles to the east, where a dog may already have reached.
