The Evanston Fire Department shared photos of the rescue at the dog beach.

The exact time of the rescue was not immediately known.

Images show first responders used a ladder to lower down and rescue a black pooch.

"Residents please do not go after your dogs if they venture out on the shelves, this could lead to a very dangerous situation," the department said on a social media post.
