Dog Rescued From Water In Huntingtown

At 1535 on 9/5, HVFD was dispatched to Potts Point Road for a dog down a cliff, in the water. Squad 6 arrived and found a black dog at the bottom of a 30ft cliff partially submerged in the water about 500 feet away from the entry point.

Squad 6 donned dry suits and PFDs and entered the water. When the Squad reached the dog they calmed it down, put a leash around it’s neck, and carried it out the water.

A69 assessed the animal, cleaned it up with a towel, and provided it food and water.

6B had command, Chief 6 had operations, and Safety Officer 6 had safety.

Calvert County Animal Control arrived and checked the dog for a chip. The dog had a chip but was not registered. It also had no collar. It will be at Linda Kelly Animal Shelter.
