First steps if you lose your dog in Lowell

  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 Merrimack Canal, about 0.6 miles away, and toward the Lowell Dracut Tyngsborough State Forest, about 2.1 miles off, a large wooded corridor a dog can cover quickly.

  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 1 vet practice within about 3 miles and the local police straight away, so they can watch for a loose dog.

  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 in Shedd Park, about 1.2 miles away, and Lowell National Historical Park, about 0.4 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

    Dracut, about 2.7 miles north, and Chelmsford, roughly 3.5 miles south-west, are neighborhoods a dog may already have reached, so include them when spreading the word.
