Asked October 29, 2024, 9:48 AM EDT
Several neighbors have seen this animal in the woods in our neighborhood and are trying to figure out if this is just a lost dog, coyote, etc. If it’s a dog, I would like to try to find it a home. Our neighborhood borders Patapsco State Park.
Thank you,

It doesn't look like a Coyote to us, but this is outside of the realm of our expertise. You could inquire with wildlife biologists at the MD Department of Natural Resources. An email can be sent to <personal data hidden> (especially if you want to share photos) or, if you would like to speak to someone, they have a Wildlife and Heritage Service phone number at<personal data hidden>. The phone line is staffed during regular business hours, 8:00 am to 4:30 pm, except state holidays and weekends.
