The raccoon was brought to Procyon Wildlife Centre in Beeton, Ont., after a woman found the animal.
The centre says the raccoon is being treated by a veterinarian for burns to its face, arms, belly and one side of its body.
Procyon says a veterinarian has given the raccoon ointment for the burns, antibiotics and pain medication.
Vancouver based animal-rights organization Fur-Bearers has offered a $1,000 reward for information about who may be responsible for what police have called a senseless and inhumane act of animal cruelty.
