First steps if you lose your dog in Overland Park

  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 Turkey Creek, about 1.7 miles away, and the Brush Creek corridor, about 2.6 miles off, 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 9 vet practices within about 3 miles and local police straight away, then widen the search.

  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 Nall Park, about 3 miles away, and Meadowbrook Park, about 1.7 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.

    Tip from locals

    Place the scent item on the side away from Metcalf Avenue, just 0.2 miles away, so a dog is not drawn toward the traffic.

  5. 5

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

    Tip from locals

    Ask people in Prairie Village to the east, about 2.1 miles away, and Mission to the north, around 3.2 miles, to watch for a dog that may already have reached them.
