London
Towne Pets - Leash
Them & Clean Up Their Mess
Pet owners, please remember that
animal control laws require you to leash your pets and clean up after them when
they are not on your property. Animals running at large through the
neighborhood pose a threat to themselves and to our residents. We want everyone
to stay safe in London Towne and that includes our pets! So please properly
restrain your animals and clean up after them when they make a mess. Dog waste
bags are available in all sections of our community.
For more information on leash laws
and other regulations and services in our district, please visit the Anne
Arundel County Animal Control Website at http://www.aacounty.org/AnimalControl

Dead Foxes & Raccoon Found in London
Towne - No Outbreak Confirmed - Precautions Suggested
London Towne, July 4, 2011.
In July, one of our Section 5 neighbors found 2 foxes and
a raccoon that died for no apparent reason.
In response, we asked our local veterinarian what she could tell us
about the issue. Dr. Francine K. Rattner, DVM at South Arundel Veterinarian Hospital,
recently had the chance to discuss the community’s concerns with the Chief
Wildlife and Fisheries
veterinarian at
Maryland Department of Natural Resources, Dr. Cindy Driscoll. Dr. Driscoll has indicated there is no need
to be alarmed, as this could very well be a normal occurrence of the
virus. The state is still collecting
data and there is no evidence of an outbreak at this time.
Dr. Rattner has the following
advice: “To stop the spread of the Distemper Virus from foxes, raccoons, and
other wild carnivores to our pet dogs and vice versa, people should try to
prevent contact between their dogs and wildlife. They should not leave food
items outdoors that might attract raccoons or foxes into their yards. The virus
is usually spread through respiratory secretions and can contaminate the yard
and the food bowl if the infected animal tries to eat from the dog's bowl. Of
course dogs are routinely vaccinated against this often fatal virus, so dog
owners should make sure they are visiting their veterinarians regularly and
keeping their dogs vaccinated. Blood tests can be performed to measure a dog's
Distemper antibody levels.”
While the virus is not harmful to human, it can be lethal
to carnivores, including dogs and cats.
An animal may appear disoriented and may lay
down close to a structure to die. If DNR
can get a "fresh" dead animal they can test it for distemper. If you find a dead raccoon or fox, please
call Dave Heilmeier, Southern Region Manager for
Maryland Natural Resources (DNR) Wildlife and Heritage Service at 410-535-0282
and he will dispatch someone, if available, to pick up the carcass. The carcass must be fresh to perform the
test. If it has been dead for more than 12
hours, the
appropriate procedure is to double bag the creature and put it in the middle of
a trash can, for trash pickup.
If any live animal is threatening to humans, you should
contact Anne Arundel Animal Control, a department of the Anne Arundel Police.
