It was observed this morning (March 25) that a German Shepherd dog had been hanging from the banks of Fairhaven Lake after being stuck for an entire night. Rescuers were able to rescue the dog from the lake. Several members of the public have assisted in the rescue of the dog. The dog has now been handed over to the local RSPCA. Lancashire Police, Lancashire Fire and Rescue Service, and members of the public have contributed.
To locate the dog’s owner, the police plan to investigate the area near the lake. A request for information has been issued to the dog’s owner. A document proving that the dog belongs to the owner will be required by the Veterinary Health Centre.
Quite a few people on social media have been mentioning the story about a dog (German Shepherd) that’s been swimming in Fairhaven Lake all night, according to a spokeswoman for Fylde Police.
The dog was also saved by other members of the public, in addition to our colleagues from Lancs Fire & Rescue. Currently, the dog is in safe and sound care of the local RSPCA. In order to find the dog’s owner, CCTV searches will be conducted around the lake.
