Army Dog Center in Zhob

Zhob is a district in northeastern Balochistan on the road from Dera Ismail Khan to Quetta, once called Fort Sandeman, with the Zhob river, Sherani and high hills. Winters are cold, and villages are far apart.

Situations we are asked about in Zhob

• Vehicles or goods taken from the highway.
• Livestock taken from a hill pasture overnight.
• A person missing between villages.
• A house or shop entered while the owner was away.

Mountain weather can cover a trail with rain or snow within hours. Distances are long, so a clear first call matters. A dog follows scent along riverbeds and slopes where people cannot see a trail.

Tell us your village, the road, the direction last seen, and the time. Keep the area closed. Report serious crimes to the police on 15, then call Army Dog Center on 0300-5780720, at any hour.

Zhob's winters are severe, so tell us what the weather has done since the incident, whether snow has fallen and how deep it is. If a vehicle was taken, give its colour and make and which road it was last seen on, whether toward Quetta, Loralai or Dera Ismail Khan. If someone is missing, tell us what they wore, whether they had a phone, and who last spoke to them.

If the weather has turned, please cover the spot with a clean sheet or plastic and weigh down the edges with stones, rather than your own feet. Keep animals and children from walking over it, and tell us what the snow or rain depth has been since the incident.
