Employees of the Belchertown Massachusetts Animal Control rescued a baby raccoon that was seen at the front door of a doorstep on Saturday June 7..
Then after the baby raccoon was rescued by the employees of the Belchertown Animal Control, the same employees went to a batting cage where a baby groundhog was stuck in net that is used to catch baseballs from getting lost at a batting cage.
The animal control employees are grateful that a concerned resident contacted them about the baby raccoon who was outside of their doorstep.
Both the baby raccoon and baby groundhog were taken by the animal control officers to be rehabilitated and released into the wild after being checked by the veterinarians.

That is a good question where the parents of the raccoon were when the animal got lost.

I guess the baby raccoon and baby groundhog get away from their parents.

Rescuing both the baby raccoon and the groundhog in one day shows real dedication. Glad they’re getting the care they need before heading back to the wild.
