TITUSVILLE, Florida. – A young coyote pup was found nearly dead at the Titusville Police Department Monday night, but was nursed back to health by WILD Florida Rescue.

WILD Florida Rescue posted an update on the young coyote’s progress on Facebook on Tuesday.

The organization said the coyote was “very thin, covered in ticks, and quite weak and sick” when it arrived.

The puppy was taken to Eau Gallie Veterinary Hospital for treatment for roundworms and malnutrition, and according to rescue workers, he is now doing much better.

The coyote is still in the care of WILD Florida Rescue, where his progress is being closely monitored and he will remain there until his health is stabilized.
