Loading...Fawn Rescued in Swimming Pool: Keep Your Yard Safe
There are many hazards for animals during summertime, including some that you might not expect. Swimming pools can actually pose a significant danger to both pets and wildlife. Snakes, cats, squirrels, mice and even dogs have been known to fall into pools and drown. If you do have a backyard pool, please consider completely fencing it and you might want to look into putting in a swimming pool alarm which notifies you when someone, human or animal, has entered the pool. Many models run less than $100.
Luckily for this fawn, the family was at home and able to launch a rescue. They did not have an opportunity to see the fawn reunite with its mother in the woods, and the reality of pool tragedies is that there is not usually a happy ending. We do hope this family of deer were together again within moments of the fawn’s return to the woods. In most cases, the mother will stay in the area when her fawn is in distress.

Put fence around backyard pools people. Keep children and animals safe.
What beautiful baby!! So glad no one got hurt with the rescue!! For all the beauty fences steal, safety is worth it....I wonder if expense is an issue and if there is a temporary method to keep animals out--or perhaps plants the deer won't like, or a sound....
I'm glad he rescued the fawn. All pools should have fences surrounding them.
Glad the man rescued with care, pity about the screaming kids.
Awww...thanks for rescuing the fawn ! Please build a fence.
One more reason to put a gate around your pool even if you do not have kids. This just warms my heart
Share your own rescue story in the Best Animal Rescue Contest! It can be your own pet, young or old, or wildlife that has crossed your path. Either way, we'd love to hear about it: http://www.soundearth.com/BARC
