First steps if you lose your dog in Westminster

  1. 1

    Search outward along roads, paths and fields — a dog can cover several kilometres in the first few hours.

    Tip from locals

    A dog can cover several miles, so search outward along the Little Dry Creek corridor and the Farmers Highline Canal, about 2.2 miles away.

  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

    There are 5 vet practices within about 3 miles, so call them and the police 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 at Clear Creek Valley Park and Lake Arbor Park 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

    A dog may already have reached Berkley, about 2.3 miles south, or Federal Heights, roughly 2.3 miles north-east, so include them when you spread the word.
