Baby Coyote Found and Rescued in Plainfield

Well, that's one coyote that you won't spot in your neighborhood any time soon.

Last week professional trapper Mark Engel from Yorkville's TKO Home Services rescued a baby orphan coyote that was found underneath a local resident's deck in Plainfield near Ridge Road and Route 126. 

"This is the time of year homeowners need to keep an eye out for our local wildlife to move under decks, porches, and even attics to have their babies," said Engel.

TKO Home Services specializes in the trapping or rescue of wild animals that end up at someone's home and offer repair services made by animals such as raccoons, skunks or coyotes.

Engel received some assistance by fellow TKO partner Tom Welsh's daughter, Lyndsey.

The coyote pup will be going to a rescue shelter in Elburn, said Welsh.
