This morning, a German Shepherd found on the banks of Fairhaven Lake drew attention from the local community and emergency services. Teams from Lancashire Fire and Rescue, Lancashire Police, along with several helpful bystanders, collaborated to ensure the dog’s safety. The canine has since been handed over to the care of the neighborhood RSPCA and is reportedly safe and sound.
The Veterinary Health Centre is currently responsible for the dog’s well-being as authorities seek to identify its owner. To claim the dog, the owner must present valid ownership documentation. Meanwhile, the police are conducting a search around the lake area, hoping to gather information through CCTV footage that could help locate the dog’s owner.
A representative from Fylde Police noted the incident, which had received significant attention on social media. “It was a great outcome as both our Lancs Fire & Rescue colleagues and members of the public helped rescue the dog,” the spokesperson said. “The dog is now secure and under the competent care of the RSPCA.”
The police are reaching out to those who might have been in the area or have relevant information. “Were you nearby? Did you witness anything? Are you the owner of this dog? If so, please report it online or call 101 with the current log number, 0243. Your assistance is much appreciated.”
