A young, dead raccoon was recently discovered in a dog enclosure at a residence in Fairplay, MD. The animal was sent for testing and was determined to have been positive for rabies. The dogs had been previously inoculated for rabies and were given booster shots as a precautionary measure. They are currently in a 45 day quarantine at their residence. No humans were exposed to the raccoon.
