Dog 'Nemo' Rescued from Waters in Marina del Rey Needs a Home
A dog named "Nemo" that was rescued from the waters in Marina del Rey now needs a home.
A 2-year-old husky mix that was plucked by rescuers earlier this week from the waters in Marina del Rey now needs a home, according to KABC-TV.
The dog, now called "Nemo," was fighting to stay alive underneath a dock in the marina when someone spotted him early Tuesday and called Los Angeles County Sheriff's deputies.
Deputies turned to Peter Wallerstein, director of Marine Animal Rescue, and he was able to save Nemo. Wallerstein told KABC-TV that he normally rescues sea lions and other large marine mammals.
