Luca

Hi Christopher, we are sorry to hear Luca is missing. Try to remain in the area as most dogs will try to return to the missing point once they have settled, if they are able and importantly if they aren’t chased or spooked further away. Please do not search in large groups and do not shout or whistle, let Luca come to you. If searching after dark, please use a red filter on your torch as bright white lights can make dogs run. Securely place some unwashed clothing belonging to the person who your dog is most bonded with at the missing point, with a small amount of strong smelling food and some water. If you drove to the location leave your vehicle parked in exactly the same place where you initially parked with the doors and boot open (no headlights). Only if safe to do so and not near any roads when the area is quiet, try stop starting your vehicle engine intermittently. Contact local vets, rescues and the dog warden just in case anyone has maybe found Luca and handed him in. Post on all local social media pages and poster everywhere you can. Register with DogLost.co.uk if you haven’t already done so as they will alert more volunteers as unfortunately we do not have many in your area. Notify the relevant transport networks from our “how it works section “ on our website, if there are nearby hazards, they will put alerts out and remain vigilant.

Volunteer alert sent to 4 volunteer(s) within 30 miles. Roles: Pilots (Hobby), Pilots (A2 CofC), Pilots (GVC), Ground Searchers, Scent Trackers, Trappers.
