This is a guide for people who have lost their dog or believe it may have been stolen:
When someone loses their dog they are confused and unsure what to do and who to contact.
Immediately contact your local dog warden and your local Petsearcher
You can get in touch with the dog warden by contacting your local council. Give them as much information as you can, such as details of colour, coat type, size, age, distinguishing marks, sex, breed, identification used etc. Ensure that the contact numbers you give are reachable 24 hours a day. If you closely border other council areas it will be worth your while to also contact neighbouring authorities. Ask what kennels the dog wardens use to house stray dogs.
Contact your local vets
Look in your local Yellow Pages for their contact details and phone through your missing dog report; Again, make sure you describe your dog accurately. Get posters into the practices most local to you.
Personally visit your local stray dog kennels
Always pay regular visits to your local stray dog kennels. Remember, your dog is only unique to you! Do not rely on someone at the end of the phone to identify a dog as yours; many lost dogs are not reunited with their owners because of this simple mistake. Most stray dogs only get seven days’ grace, waiting to be claimed, before they can be rehomed so please keep this in mind.
Other things you can do.
Contact local pet shops, grooming parlours, other local animal rescues and animal hospitals. Watch out for ‘found’ advertisements in local newspapers. Look out for ‘found’ posters in your area. Place adverts in local newspapers.
POSTER
Get posters of your missing dog out there – bus shelters, lampposts, shopping areas, schools, refuse collection depots, postal sorting offices and dog walking areas.
