Owners of pets involved in bite cases must provide a current rabies vaccination certificate to Animal Control. If the animal is not currently vaccinated or if the vaccination status is unknown, the animal must be placed in quarantine and observed by a veterinarian.
Animals that are currently vaccinated and were restrained at the time the bite occurred may qualify for home observation.
If possible, get the name and phone number of the owner of any pet that bites you or your pet.
