Madera County Animal Control Information

Dog bite attacks occur all too often, leaving people physically injured, emotionally traumatized and facing potentially devastating financial losses. While the vast majority of us love dogs and do what we can to make the world safe for them and the rest of us, the fact of the matter is that Madera County dog bite attacks do and will continue to occur.

LEASH LAWS

Dogs are cherished members of the family, joining us in our daily routines and adventures. We often take them along for walks, outings, and exercise to keep them healthy and happy. When bringing dogs into public spaces, it’s essential to keep them securely leashed for the safety of people, other animals, and the dog themselves. Sadly, not everyone follows this basic responsibility, which can lead to dangerous situations, injuries, or the need for animal control intervention. Learn more by visiting our Madera County Dog Leash Laws page.

If you or a loved one has been harmed in this manner, you may not be sure about what to do or whom to contact. The first thing you should do is obtain immediate medical attention, and you should also make sure that the incident is reported.
