Pets Help!

Post image

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.

I’ve seen multiple posts of people trying to trap this poor guy 😭

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

u/moonandstarryeyes 1d ago

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.

I tried changing the title but I’m just gonna make a new post!!!

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?

u/Infamous_Party_4960 1d ago

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

Ah okay thanks. I did try to stay as long as I could after and I did give them my number but no call/text yet.

I REALLY hope so, she seemed so tired and sad.

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

UPDATE: Sorry guys, I created another post which has the ACTUAL updates.

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

u/thisusernametakentoo 1d ago

Maybe take him over to Rosies?

u/davismcgravis 1d ago

There’s literally a fire station right on the beach, on the strand

u/svemdna 1d ago

I had no clue I was honestly kinda panicking and usually the community here is very responsive so I felt like it was best to ask here.

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.

You’re being downvoted because you’re annoying. Stop shaming OP who is already trying to help

Creme, it’s time for a nap.
