On Sunday, SF Animal Care and Control responded to a situation at the Chase Center involving three baby raccoons trapped behind exterior paneling. While the whereabouts of their mother remains unknown, officers successfully rescued the animals after navigating a tight space. The baby raccoons were transported to Yggdrasil Urban Wildlife Rescue for care, emphasizing the importance of sealing entry points to prevent such incidents. This event raises awareness about urban wildlife management and the challenges faced by young animals in city environments.
"Lt. Steph Ryer got the first 2 babies, but the third was still stuck. Officer Keefe changed the baby's body position and Officer in Training Borg pulled the tile piece out as far as possible, and together they got the baby raccoon free."

"This may have been a den, or a near a den, that these babies were born into, and they simply outgrew being able to get in and out."
"SF Animal Care and Control advises city residents and businesses to make sure all gaps and holes in exterior walls, especially those that are low to the ground, are sealed in order to prevent animal intrusions like this."
