Swift-Water Team Rescues Stranded Dog From Ventura County Flood Channel

Authorities are working to reunite the dog with its owner due to missing identification.

Overview

  • The 3-year-old female, believed to be a pug or French bulldog mix, was shivering but unharmed and is now at the Camarillo Shelter after a veterinary exam and warming.
  • Ventura County Fire Department used a 35-foot ground ladder while a swift-water rescuer entered the channel to bring the dog to safety, with Ventura County Animal Services coordinating care.
  • Oxnard Fire Department also assisted at the scene, reflecting a multi-agency response during Tuesday’s Southern California storm.
  • Officials say the dog was not microchipped and wore no tag; Ventura County Animal Services has posted animal ID A872963 for owner inquiries.
  • Reports differ slightly on the exact location, citing either Wood and Laguna roads in Camarillo or the Revolon Slough in the Oxnard Plains, both in Ventura County.
