With warmer temperatures on the way, wildlife will soon be more active in our neighborhoods!
It’s never safe to approach, touch, or feed wild animals — especially raccoons! 🦝 While they may seem cute and harmless, wild animals can carry diseases like rabies and distemper, which pose serious risks to you, your loved ones, and your pets. 🐶🐱
Please keep a safe distance, secure your trash, and make sure your pets are up to date on their vaccinations.
