A little knowledge, compassion, and support can make a difference.

Together, we can raise awareness and help . 💜

The Bladen County Health Department Director has been notified of a bat that tested positive for rabies. The deceased bat was found on North Carolina Highway 131 near Bladenboro, with Todd Road being the closest intersecting road.

Rabies is a serious but preventable disease spread through bites or contact with infected saliva. Anyone who may have been exposed to this bat during late July or early August should contact their healthcare provider or the Bladen County Health Department at 910-862-6900 for a rabies risk assessment.

Help protect your family and pets:
• Keep dogs, cats, and ferrets up to date on rabies vaccinations
• Avoid contact with bats, stray animals, and other wildlife
• Report animals showing unusual behavior to Bladen County Animal Control at 910-862-6918

Vaccinating your pets is the #1 way to prevent rabies.

💜 Overdose Awareness Month 💜

August is a time to remember the lives lost to overdose, support those in recovery, and remind our community that help, hope, and recovery are possible.

Every person affected by substance use has a story. Every life lost matters. And every person seeking recovery deserves compassion, support, and access to resources.

If you or someone you love is struggling with substance use, you don't have to navigate it alone.

Visit Recovery Bladen to find local treatment, recovery, support, and community resources: https://recoverybladen.org/

Recovery is possible. Help is available. You are not alone. 💜
