Animal Control officers are concerned about possible exposure of unvaccinated animals in the area.
Any one who sees an animal acting unusual is urged to call Wake County Animal Control at 919-856-6911.
"We don't want to alarm residents in North Raleigh, but they should be aware of this case and of the potential for exposure to themselves, family members and their pets," said Michael Williams, Animal Control director for Wake County. "We are providing rabies vaccination clinics throughout the month of April, including a clinic at Lake Benson Park in Garner on Saturday, April 11. Vaccination is the only way to prevent the spread of rabies and is required by law."
