Last night we responded to a raccoon emergency in Kitchener in a mail truck. It’s actually quite a common occurrence to find wildlife wandering into shipping docks and garages late at night, because these places typically stay open for hours at a time. These are opportunistic little critters!

This can also serve as a reminder to homeowners, that leaving your garage or a shed door wide open also invites the same risk. Raccoons and other wildlife don’t understand the difference between your shed, or the back of a delivery truck.

The raccoon was removed from the truck and released on site. It no doubt lives nearby, and will need to find somewhere else to lay it’s head tomorrow night.
