There has been a recent confirmed case of rabies in a fox within the city
limits. We are making every attempt to capture any stray cat or dog in the
immediate area of the event. Everyone should take precautions to limit their
exposure to strange animals. Some reminders of animal behavior to be on the
lookout for:
Foxes and raccoons should not be roaming around in the daylight hours
Animals that appear sick or are not acting normal
Wild animals that act aggressively; they normally do not approach humans.
If there is any question as to whether an animal may be rabid or not, contact
Animal Control by dialing 597-0547 and an officer will be dispatched to the
location.
REMINDER
TO PET OWNERS
Be sure that your pets rabies vaccination is current. If your animal
is picked up and rabies vaccine cannot be documented, the animal could be
euthanized and you could be fined for not complying with City Ordinance.
