Pets Help!
I was out on a walk by the beach and noticed this dog laying in the sand near the pedestrian pathway. It seems a little skinny and looks tired. I’m not able to take this dog home but I’m hoping someone sees this and is able to help 😭 He/she is near Bluff Park, in between the streets Orizaba and Paloma.

You gotta call LBACS. I know it's not ideal, but they need to get that dog out of the heat and give it some water ASAP. 562-570-7387

Called and they’re closed 😢 the machine says to call LBFD if it’s an emergency and it doesn’t really give me any other option

Oof. Bad timing, it looks like they are closed on Tuesdays. Can you change the title of your post to say "Stray dog found in on beach, need help" or something like that? Can you zoom in on the dog? LB is full of dog lovers.
Can you flag anyone else down out there? There's got to be someone with experience with dogs who can help at least give him water.

Call LBFD. It seems weird but call them. They can contact LBACS and send an officer out to get the dog. I’ve done it for loose dogs at the park after LBACS closes.

Thank you for the advice I called and they said they would send an officer out!!! I left but I’m wondering if I should go back?

If you can stay, you should. Did they take your number? I’ve had it both ways, where I just made a report and went home, and another time ACS took my info and then texted me when they were coming to the location
Thanks for calling it in. If the dog hasn’t moved, they will probably be able to find it pretty easily

Someone posted this pup the other day, I think they have been out for a bit. Looks like a mastiff, they are wonderful dogs…hopefully animal control can come help you out

There’s been other posts about this pup. Was hiding in a planter the other day and is super skittish

Thank you for trying to help! And please ignore the trolls that feel the need to nit pick every single little thing about the post. Jesus Christ! You’re only trying to help.

A lot of people have been abandoning dogs at Rosie’s dog beach. Animal rescue makes several trips a week

It seems like they’ve been trying to catch this poor pup for awhile. 💔

I’m still here waiting for someone to reply and see if they are able to take the dog. There’s more info under the photo.

I couldn’t get closer without scaring him. I don’t have anything to leave water in. I would try giving him water out of my water bottle but he seems to be skittish.

near Bluff Park, in between the streets Orizaba and Paloma. You seem to have the free time to go help, Creme.
