What is what happens when animal control is called for a dog bite?

When animal control is called for a dog bite, they will typically respond by investigating the incident and gathering information about the dog's history, behavior, and vaccination status. They may also take steps to ensure public safety, such as quarantining the dog to prevent future incidents.

If the dog is a stray or its owner is unknown, animal control may attempt to capture and contain the animal for further evaluation. They may also work to identify the owner and inform them of the incident.

In cases where the dog is found to be aggressive or poses a danger to the public, animal control may take legal action, such as issuing citations or fines, and may even recommend that the dog be euthanized.

Overall, animal control's primary concern is to protect the public from dangerous animals and enforce responsible pet ownership practices to prevent future incidents.
