Fawn with rope around its neck spotted in New Port Richey
NEW PORT RICHEY (FOX 13) - Folks living in a New Port Richey community are on alert to try and save a baby deer.
Sharon Avila of the Tanglewood subdivision sent FOX 13's Cynthia Smoot a photo of the fawn, which appears to have a rope around its neck.
No one seems to know how that happened, but it's a threat to the young deer.
He or she could get it caught on a tree branch or obstacle and be severely injured or worse.
Owl's Nest Sanctuary for Wildlife is aware of the fawn and has a team ready to respond when someone spots it.
They ask that you not approach the fawn or try to catch it.
