Brandywine Valley SPCA employees teamed up with the Washington D C Police Department on Thursday January 16 to rescue a deer who fell into the Potomac River which was freezing. The rescue team which included the DC Fire and EMS Fireboat crew as well as the police department used a hovercraft to rescue the deer who was in the frozen river and move the deer into solid ground where the deer went back to the forest unharmed.

It is very very challenging to rescue an animal in freezing river where you are racing against time to make sure that you are able to get to the deer, rescue it while keeping it alive.

I am very glad the deer was rescued. Up in the Adirondacks they rescued a moose from a semi frozen lake. That must have been difficult.
