Engine 17 and Medic 17 were dispatched to the area, located in the 8000 block of Country Village Street near Loop 410 and Broadway, where they discovered the animals.
According to a Facebook post from SAFD, the firefighters borrowed a leash from someone nearby and made a girth hitch out of it. Rescuers were able to get each dog’s head through the leash and pull them out individually.
“Animal control responded to take custody of the animals,” said Woodward.
