§ 6.04.140. Dog bites.

Latest version.

Whenever any dog bites a person, the owner of such animal shall immediately notify the animal control department and the Candler County Health Department, who shall order the animal held on the owner's premises or shall have it impounded at the owner's expense for a period of fourteen (14) days. The dog shall be examined immediately after it has bitten anyone and again at the end of the fourteen (14) day period. This cost will be paid for by the owner or custodian. If at the end of the fourteen (14) days, a veterinarian is convinced that the dog is then free from rabies, the dog shall be released from quarantine or from the pound as the case may be. If the dog should die in the interim, its body shall be sent to a local veterinarian for examination for rabies. All costs associated with quarantine, veterinarian examination, treatment, and/or disposal shall be paid for by the owner or custodian of the dog.
