Thank you.

Please help this dog ASAP - he/she deserves better!

The poor beast hasn't gone anywhere yet.

Animal Services is severely understaffed. You can contact them directly to ask when they might be able to get to him.

The dog appears to be tied out there 24/7; apparently it's wrapped up in a blanket at night, but never let inside the house.

ABUSED/NEGLECTED ANIMALS
If you are concerned that an animal in Oakland is being abused or neglected, please call 510.777.3333 to report the problem. You will need to provide the dispatcher with the address of the location of the animal and as much information about the situation as possible. Examples of abuse/neglect:

Purposefully hurting an animal
Not providing adequate food and/or regular access to fresh water
Not providing shelter from the elements (including heat, cold and rain)
Keeping a dog chained or tethered for over three hours
Keeping an animal confined without room to exercise

I hope this dog is not still outdoors at night. The temperatures are going to drop into the 20s at night starting Tues or Wed and be very low during the day.

call the police department

Whether the animal's alive or not, I dunno, but it's there any longer.
