When an Animal Bites

• Call the Effingham County Sheriff's Office, or 911 for serious bites.
• Seek medical attention for all bites.
• Identify the animal (i.e. Breed, color, markings, location last observed, size).
• If possible, contain the animal safely, but do not try to contain a vicious dog.
• If the animal's vaccinations are not current or verifiable, the animal must be quarantined for a minimum of 10 days.
