This is not the first time ACS has been called to that property for reports of a dog bite.

At least two of the dogs were involved in “confirmed bite cases” in January and also in September 2021, according to the city news release. The injuries in those cases were described as “moderate or mild,” and the individuals involved “declined to file a dangerous dog designation,” the release said. The animals were returned to their owner after a quarantine period in accordance with state law.

A dangerous dog designation would have imposed several requirements, including that the owners keep the animals in a secured enclosure, get a $100,000 liability insurance policy and muzzle the dogs when they were outside. Special warning signs also would have been required.

In addition to the bite cases, ACS has been called to the property several times in the last two years for calls about neglect, aggression and loose animals, ACS Director Shannon Sims said.
