Skunk goes to store: Columbia Pl., Sterling, Aug. 27. A skunk was reported to be living under a pallet by a store entrance. An animal control officer removed the healthy skunk and returned it to the wild.
Bat in the house: Chetwood Terr., Ashburn, Aug. 27. A bat was reported to have gotten inside a home. An animal control officer captured the bat and confirmed that no people or pets had been exposed to it. The bat did not have to be tested for rabies.
Stray dog impounded: Longstreet Ave., Round Hill, Aug. 28. An animal control officer responded to a report of a stray dog running loose. The officer impounded the approximately 5-year-old male dog, which did not have identification or a microchip. Lost-dog reports were checked; no match was found.

I'm surprised there were no reports of raccoons running about. I've seen several of them in the past few months in our area.
