Army Dog Center Sahiwal

Army Dog Center in Sahiwal

Sahiwal lies on the Grand Trunk Road between Lahore and Multan, with Chichawatni and Harappa nearby, and a large coal power plant outside the city. It gave its name to a famed breed of cattle, and dairy farms and wheat fields surround it.

Situations we are asked about in Sahiwal

• Cattle or buffaloes taken from a dairy farm overnight.
• Vehicles taken from the highway or the railway crossings.
• Farm equipment taken from a village.
• A person missing in the fields after dark.

Livestock theft typically happens at night and along field tracks, which is where scent tracking is most helpful. The highway lets thieves move vehicles quickly. Dairy farms are busy early, so evidence is often walked over before anyone realises. Keep animals and people away from the exact spot as soon as the loss is found.

Tell us the farm, village or road, and the time. Report serious crimes to the police on 15, then call Army Dog Center on 0300-5780720, at any hour.

On a dairy farm, animals are counted at milking, so tell us when the last count took place and how many were found missing. If any dog on the farm barked during the night, note the time. Keep the gate and the track leading from the shed clear of people, tractors and animals until help is arranged.

If the farm has a registered brand or tag on its animals, tell us the mark, because it helps the police recognise them at a market or checkpoint. Note any unusual vehicle seen near the farm gate in the last few days, and whether any animal-dealer visited recently.
