The puppy fell near Ladera Street at Sunset Cliffs around 2 p.m. on Friday. It fell near a mixture of sand and rock, said officials.

A hoist rescue was performed to retrieve the dog. Lifeguards said the puppy appears to have no major injuries, though it had a limp on the back leg.

Authorities said the dog was transported to the Department of Animal Services.

No owner has come forward and the dog did not have a leash or collar.
