When recovering your lost dog, take in a large search area as stray dogs can travel.

• Contact the dog warden, and wardens in surrounding areas
• Contact veterinary surgeons
• Contact RSPCA central control (telephone number on contacts page)
• Battersea Dog’s Home (telephone number on contacts page)
• Get a recent photo of the dog and make posters, make sure the ones put outside are weather proof (plastic sleeves).
• When making a poster do not put the dog’s name on it, put more than one contact number, make the writing bold and clear.
• Put posters in prominent dog areas ie pet shops, vets, parks, estates, pubs, hospital receptions, community centres, shopping areas, .
• Although the police are no longer responsible for stray dogs, it is always good to inform them and put up a poster in as many police stations as possible.
• Contact the local papers and ask them to do an article
• When people contact you do not go to meetings with them on your own, always take someone with you and make other people aware of what you are doing.
• At www.dogsreunited.co.uk we know this is a traumatic time for people who have lost their pet. To implement all of these points can take a lot of time and resources, so we have a list of dedicated helpers to advise, assist and support.
