Orange County Animal Services received its eighth rabies result from the N.C. Rabies Laboratory after a raccoon tested positive on Friday.

The raccoon had known exposure Wednesday with at least one dog at a county residence near Bethel Hickory Grove Church Road and Meadow Lane in Chapel Hill.

A resident saw her two dogs in the yard circling a raccoon, which they killed shortly after.

The resident removed the dogs from the yard and called animal services to have the raccoon removed and tested for rabies.

Both dogs had up-to-date rabies vaccinations and will receive booster shots according to state law.
