A fourth rabies case has been confirmed in Summers County. According to Chad Meador with the Summers County Health Department, a raccoon killed by a dog in the Ellison Ridge Road area near Jumping Branch tested positive for the virus on Tuesday.
�The dog was unvaccinated,� Meador reported. �The owner refused to have the animal euthanized, so it will be quarantined in a double pen, with no human contact, for six months, as required by state law.�
