30. Call a local elected official and ask them to get Animal Services to do its job.

Bureaucrats act faster, usually, when an official gets on their case. So call your local Councilmember, Mayor, or Supervisor.

If that doesn't work, call the media and ask them why nobody in power is taking action to protect this puppy.

Calling law enforcement might not be a bad idea; if this guy's as mean as he sounds, there could be an outstanding warrant for him already.
