Lost & found dogs in Santa Barbara

Black-and-white dog with red bandana found near Stearns Wharf

I found a black-and-white dog this afternoon around 2:15pm wandering along the Stearns Wharf boardwalk by the Santa Barbara Harbor. It's a medium-sized mix, about 40 pounds, with a bright red bandana and a blue collar, and a small white heart-shaped patch on its chest. One ear tilts a bit when it listens, and the pup seemed friendly but a little anxious, so I stuck with it, offered water, and kept an eye out for a tag, but nothing readable showed up. I’d love to help reunite them with their family—the dog looked like they’re missing someone and I could tell it mattered. If this sounds like your dog, drop a message here and we can figure out the next steps.
