Upside Down Deer in Foxborough Saved by Animal Rescue League

FOXBOROUGH, MA — A deer that found itself stuck in a tight spot was saved thanks to the Animal Rescue League of Boston.

At about 9:30 a.m. Monday morning, Foxborough Animal Control reported a deer that was trapped between two eight-foot fences that funneled into an enclosure on Mechanic Street. The ARL says the width of the area where the deer was trapped was 5-12 inches wide.

Making matters worse, in a panic to get free, the deer ended up upside-down and wedged in the tight space. Responders removed a section of fence and with some assistance, the deer was able to roll over, stand up, and walk, the ARL said.

The deer suffered several abrasions but appeared to be uninjured.

Foxborough police assisted in stopping traffic as the deer was ushered back to the wild.
