Leander Animal Services rescues baby raccoon and fawn
AUSTIN (KXAN) — Leander Animal Services was busy this week rescuing a few baby animals. Leander Police posted about the incidents on Facebook. On June 5, a delivery driver spotted a doe cross the road with a fawn running behind, but the fawn stumbled and fell into a storm drain. Leander Animal Services showed up and was able to remove the fawn, who had no injuries. The fawn was monitored into the early morning and was then reunited with its mom. Then, on June 6, Leander Animal Services was contacted about an 8-week-old raccoon who was separated from her family and stuck in a tree. The post from Leander Police said a man and his wife were walking when they heard something fall and hit the ground. That is when they spotted a raccoon and two babies running away, but the other baby was still in the tree. Leander Fire was then called in for assistance, and they used their ladder truck to get to the baby raccoon, but the raccoon decided to bypass being captured and jumped toward one of the firefighters. Animal Services was on the ground watching and was able to catch the baby in a net. This baby raccoon did not appear to be injured and was safely transferred from the net to a transport box. Then she was transported to MoonShine Wildlife Rehabilitation, where she will be cared for until she is old enough to be on her own. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
