We first check collar for any current phone number and address tags, if we fail, the usual course of action is a call to our local RSPCA or council to check if no one has reported the dog missing, if this takes us no where, we have a tendancy to then walk the dog around the local streets, in hope that it can lead us to its home.
After a couple of hours trying we will then normally turn the dog into the RSPCA given that the reality is that RSPCA is the first call somone will make when a pet goes missing anyway.
We have a couple of local runaways that come straight to our house if they get out of their yard because they know we are friendly and play with them, bur we dont mind, in both instances we know where they came from and take them back home OR the owners have now worked out where they go and will come to our place first to look for them......its been a good way to get to know neighbours from further down the street!
