It’s that time of the year again when the office starts receiving calls about the foxes in the area of Maria Ave. The Department is aware of the breeding pair and where their den is located. It is normal to see wildlife out during the day especially busy parents trying to feed their hungry young! Just like years prior, I do expect they will have mange and the babies will have it as well. This pair is accustomed to the neighborhood and is comfortable due to all of the free food for them in the area.

The Department of Wildlife and Fisheries advises to let nature take its course regarding this issue. Animal Control is not permitted to trap wildlife and can only intervene if the animal is able to be captured by hand or net.

So when do you call Animal Control or the Police Department? If and when you’re noticing signs of Rabies! Signs of Rabies could be a drunken appearance, drooling from the mouth, lethargic, aggression, disoriented; you will know it’s rabid when you see it.

If you happen to see them, please leave them be and appreciate them from afar. If you would like more information about living with wildlife, mass.gov has a ton of information regarding it.
Any other questions, please call the animal control department at 508.764.5420, option 2.

Pupdate #3 on the airport dog.
Around 9:30AM this morning “Scrappy” was captured 🎉🎉🎉. A big thank you to Missing Dogs Massachusetts for their assistance with equipment this morning. It didn’t take long for her to go in the trap once we left the area and she felt safe enough to go and eat.
So what’s the plan for this little girl? We’re giving her 24 hours of decompression time before handling her to check for a microchip. She’s still pretty scared and flighty which is normal after what she went through. There’s a seven day hold on her in the event an owner comes forward. After the holding period, she will be transferred to a rescue/shelter who has availability to take her in.
Thank you everyone for sharing her story and if this is your pup, please call 508.764.5420, option 2.

It appears there has been a small dog roaming the grounds up at the airport for over a week now. The pup is cautious of humans and when approached it will take off. There is a plan in place for the dog, if you see it, please DO NOT FEED or APPROACH since it will hinder Animal Control’s attempts to capture. If you see it, please call the station at 508.764.5420 option 2 to report sightings. If this is your dog, please call to report it.
