A German Shepherd was spotted this morning (March 25) near the shores of Fairhaven Lake. Thanks to the combined efforts of the Lancashire Fire & Rescue Service, Lancashire Police, and local residents, the dog was successfully rescued. The dog is now safe and in the care of the neighborhood RSPCA.
The Veterinary Health Centre is currently looking after the dog. To reclaim the pet, the owner will need to provide proof of ownership.
