A 6th rabid raccoon has been found in Galloway Township since the beginning of 2008. The raccoon was found in a homeowner’s garage and it tried to attack the homeowner’s dog. Animal control was called and the raccoon was captured, removed from the property and euthanized. It was then sent to the NJ Dept of Health for testing.

The dog is under confinement for 6 months because it’s rabies shots were not current. The poor thing… that must be a horrible memory to live with. The homeowner is undergoing rabies treatment for the next 30 days.

This is the 9th case of rabies in Atlantic County.
