Ian Winters is the Conservation Officer in Hopedale.

He says there was a fox spotted on Monday, February 7th, 2022.

The fox was shot after attacking a dog in the town and the dog was sent out for rabid testing.

There was another fox sighted at the dump last night, but there was no further information.

Winters predicts that there may be more rabid cases and be sure that everyone take special care of their dogs.
