Bite Quarantine

8/23/2016

 
FAQ > Services

Should a dog or cat bite someone, the R-H SPCA can serve as a holding facility to monitor the animal for symptoms of rabies during a mandated 10-day period after the bite. Bites are reported to the Health Department, and the R-H SPCA follows their instructions from there. The Health Department is in charge of releasing the pet from bite quarantine. If the pet is in the process of being declared dangerous or vicious, animal control will direct proceedings at that time.
