Animal Neglect

Good morning neighbors! I'm posting hoping for some resources to help an animal that's being neglected. My neighbor got a puppy around Christmas time and they initially seemed to be taking care of it until early this year when they apparently lost interest. The dog now lives exclusively on their patio rain or shine with seemingly no access to food and water. The poor dog is skin and bones and I'm unable to give it food or water because it's located on an upstairs patio. I have observed animal services visit the home multiple times and nothing has been done. I'm genuinely concerned about how much longer this poor dog can live like this. I hardly ever see the dog anymore presumably because they don't have the energy to bark and move around. I'm hoping maybe someone can connect me with a third party organization that can address this? I know animal services are already overwhelmed and underfunded and in addition to that I would hate to see this dog go from this situation to a kill shelter. Thank you for all your help!
