First steps if you lose your dog in Wichita

  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 Arkansas River and the Little Arkansas River, with Central Riverside Park about 0.4 miles away and Linwood Park South roughly 2.3 miles off.

  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 one vet within about 3 miles and the local police straight away, and keep the numbers at hand as you 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 people at Oak Park, about 1.2 miles away, and O.J. Watson Park, roughly 2.9 miles, 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 Cow Town, about 1.1 miles west, Eastborough, roughly 4 miles east, and Bellaire, about 6.2 miles north-east, in the alert, since a dog may already have reached them.

Is there another animal shelter near Wichita?

For Wichita, we list Kansas Humane Society. Address: 3313 N Hillside, Wichita, KS 67219. Phone: (316) 524-9196. Call before you go and ask about animals brought in recently.

Does Wichita's leash law apply to cats?

No. Wichita City Code 6.04.040 makes it a misdemeanor for the owner of any animal other than a cat to let it run at large. Dogs must be confined by a leash, rope, chain, fence (including a marked electronic fence) or inside a dwelling. Cats are exempt from the running-at-large rule, so a cat outdoors in Wichita is not by itself a code violation.
