A raccoon found on High Street near Beattie Avenue has tested positive for rabies, according to officials at the Niagara County Department of Health.
The raccoon is the second this year to test positive for rabies in East Niagara. The first was a raccoon killed in a fight with two dogs on Stone Road in Hartland in early April.
The Department of Health says that wild animals, including stray dogs or feral cats, should not be touched, fed or adopted due to the risk of rabies. It also offers free rabies vaccination clinics for dogs, cats and domestic ferrets.
Contact with wild animals, and all animal bites, should be reported to the health department at 439-7444 during business hours or 439-7430 after 4 p.m. daily.
Niagara County residents with dogs, cats or ferrets are welcome to have their pets vaccinated at any one of a number of upcoming clinics. The first will be held from 2 to 4 p.m. June 14 in Niagara Falls. Subsequent clinics are July 12 in Wilson and Sept. 20 at the Town of Lockport highway garage.
For more information on the clinics, animal vaccinations or rabies, call 439-7444.
