Health officer reports two dog bite incidents; one dog quarantined
Summary
Health officers reported two dog bite incidents at the May 13 meeting: one dog was quarantined for lacking a current rabies vaccine and is planned for rehoming after quarantine; the other dog has been vaccinated and registered.
The Health Officer update to the Selectboard detailed two dog bite incidents being handled by Faye Cochran and Matt Hill.
One dog was quarantined because it was not up to date on its rabies vaccine; town staff said the dog will be rehomed after the quarantine period ends. The second dog in a separate incident has received a rabies shot and the owner completed registration with the town.
The minutes indicate animal control and health officer functions were coordinated in the response to both incidents; no fines, legal actions, or hearing dates are recorded in the minutes.
