Army Dog Center Quetta

Army Dog Center in Quetta

Quetta is the capital of Balochistan, standing at about 1,680 metres in a valley ringed by Chiltan, Murdar and other mountains. It has the Jinnah Road bazaar, Sariab Road, Hanna Lake, the Hazarganji area and a large cantonment, and its markets sell dry fruit from all over the province.

Situations we are asked about in Quetta

• Theft from shops and houses in the bazaar areas and newer colonies.
• Vehicles taken from roads around Sariab, Brewery Road or the cantonment.
• A student, worker or visitor who has not returned home.
• A person missing near the hills or Hanna Lake.

Cold winters, thin air and sudden snow define life in Quetta. Cold ground can hold scent differently from hot ground, but snow and rain cover a trail quickly. The city's lanes are crowded, and many houses are built close together with shared walls, so a scene can be small but easily disturbed.

Tell us the area, the road or lane, and the time. Keep the doorway closed and put worn clothing into a clean bag. Report serious crimes to the police on 15, then call Army Dog Center on 0300-5780720, at any hour.

Many Quetta homes are built close together on steep lanes, with shared walls and several families in one compound. If your loss was inside such a house, tell us which room, which floor, and who shares the entrance. In winter, say whether snow or rain has fallen since, because that changes whether anything outdoors can still be followed.
