A concerned Mountain Center resident called petsitter Heather Graff to report a young doe deer stuck in a wrought iron fence Saturday, May 11. The frightened animal could not free herself and was becoming stressed.
“Sometimes our wild animal friends need us. A petsit client called me about a baby deer that got stuck in a neighboring fence,” said Graff.
According to Graff, after multiple calls to experts and authorities, Department of Fish and Wildlife officers were going to come and cut it free, but they were an hour away.
“Waiting an hour for Fish and Wildlife officers to come didn’t seem like the best choice for the deer. We felt we needed to act quickly,” she explained.Mountain Center resident Eddie Woods
