I would like to compliment the Animal Control department for a job well done. I live in College Mall Apts. on E. 2nd St. near the Mall. There was a clearly injured rabbit hunched down at the play ground area for over 8 hrs that wouldn't move even when approached. The shoulder of the rabbit seemed dislocated and I was afraid a child would try to pick it up, causing severe pain to the animal who would seriously claw or bite the child. I decided to call Animal Control and an officer was sent out who arrived quickly and did a thorough search of the playground area. What we saw when she arrived was one rabbit, somewhat unafraid of human proximity, but hopping around in a reasonably normal fashion. The spot was clear where the injured rabbit had been sitting. Apparently what happened was the rabbit managed, after hours of painful effort, to nudge its shoulder joint back into place, and was just trying things out again as the officer arrived. No way to anticipate that happening. Having the Animal Control officers respond to these situations that may seem innocuous is the right policy. Things could easily have turned out differently and the officer's response could have saved a serious injury to a child, as this occurred exactly at the playground area of College Mall Apts. In a wildlife friendly town like ours, human-animal interactions are very common, and children don't always show the proper caution. Many thanks to that officer and the City. Job well done.
There is a dead fawn on S. High St, just south of Meadowbluff Ct., near the 2110 S. High St mailbox. It was very sad for the school children walking to Childs Elementary this morning. Thank you for all that you do to take care of our city.
Dead deer next to road on corner of Maxwell and hillside. On hillside, west of the intersection.
A possum got in out air conditioning vents and we have tried to work with our management company and their maintenance guy on removing the animal when we first heard it and spotted it. They did nothing about it and now they is a strong odor coming into the house through the vents. After countless times of trying to reach both the maintenance guy and Action Properties Management, the smell is now getting worse from the animal dying in the vents and rotting and they are still taking no action. I want to file a complaint since now it is becoming a health concern and this company is being careless of our health.

We have a skunk in the neighborhood who is injured with a plastic ring around it's neck. It drinks from a bowl of water on our porch, which we've found bloody the past several weeks. We finally saw the skunk at night and discovered the plastic ring around it's neck. Can a live trap be set?
