The City of McFarland would like to highlight the recent work of our Animal Services Team in safely and humanely capturing a badger that was reported in one of our neighborhoods.

After the badger was safely captured, our Animal Services Team transported her to Bakersfield, where a volunteer affiliated with Tehachapi Volunteer Wildlife Transport assisted with the next step in her care. From there, the badger was transported to the Santa Barbara Wildlife Care Network in Goleta, CA, where she received care for 8 days.

During her stay, caretakers provided antibiotics and checked her for injuries. No injuries were reported.

With the help of our Animal Services staff and California Department of Fish and Wildlife staff, the badger was transported back to McFarland and safely released into a suitable natural habitat area southwest of McFarland near the Poso Creek area.

The City of McFarland would like to thank our Animal Services Team for their quick and careful response, Tehachapi Volunteer Wildlife Transport, the Santa Barbara Wildlife Care Network, and the California Department of Fish and Wildlife for helping ensure this badger was properly cared for and safely returned to the wild.

🐾 Meet Riley.
In December, McFarland Animal Services was notified by community members about a stray dog with a severely injured leg. Our Animal Services team responded promptly, located Riley, and transported her immediately so she could receive urgent veterinary care. Unfortunately, her injuries were so severe that amputation was necessary to save her life. Her surgery was a success, and Riley is expected to make a full recovery.
Riley has since been transferred to Roxy’s Ranch Haven, where she will continue healing in a safe and supportive rescue environment. Being placed with a rescue like this gives Riley the time, space, and individualized care she needs to recover physically, regain confidence, and adjust to life after her injury. This step is critical to her long-term well-being and her journey toward a loving home.
We are incredibly thankful to everyone who helped make Riley’s recovery possible. Thank you to our Animal Services team for their quick response and dedication, to the community members who spoke up and reported Riley’s condition, to Love Dogs Rescue for generously covering the full cost of her surgery, and to Laura Vega for coordinating Riley’s care and helping guide her recovery forward.
If you see an animal in distress, please contact McFarland Animal Services. Your report can make a life-saving difference. 💙
