Can you keep a raccoon as a pet?

Depending on where you live, you might be able to find a vet to help you out. However, most vet's will not put themselves or their office staff at risk to help a wild animal. Call all the vets in your area before you make a final decision.

I have personally known of a girl who had a raccoon since he was a baby. He was trained and very smart and cute. It's probably not a real good idea to take a wild animal and try to make a pet out of it if for no other reason they carry rabies. Yes, her raccoon was vet treated.
