The urgent call for help was posted in the Dogs Singapore Facebook group on Monday (1 July) evening at 7.04pm.
The netizen, Ms Zhi Lin Chiam, said her colleague saw a dog stuck inside a car at level 4 of a multi-storey carpark in Block 684 Jurong West Street 64.
From the photo she shared, the brown-coloured dog appeared to be stuck in the wheel gap, i.e. the narrow space between the tyre and the car body.
A couple tried to get it out but couldn’t as it’s medium-sized, she added. The Animal Concerns Research and Education Society was also unable to come down.
Responding to the post, several netizens tried to help, with one calling the Singapore Civil Defence Force and being told to call the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA), which she did.
Ms Chiam later updated in a comment at 7.12pm that the police were on their way.

A dog owner also came by with some food for the pooch.

However, the dog refused to eat and drink after being rescued, Ms Chiam said.
SPCA, who was on its way down, will handle the matter as the canine has no collar, she added.
At 8pm, Ms Chiam said someone had claimed the dog, identifying himself as a friend of the owner.
He had been taking care of the dog when it ran out of his house, he claimed.
The SPCA has taken down his particulars and is verifying his claims, she added.
