• Animal bite reports are received from residents, police departments, doctor’s offices and hospitals

• NWBRHC confirms animal licensing with Borough (licensing requires proof of Rabies vaccination). 

• The animal’s owner is sent a Notice of Bite and Confinement to inform them to quarantine the animal for 10 days and observe for any evidence of Rabies.  If the animal has acquired rabies, symptoms will appear within 10 days

  • After the 10 days, NWBRHC contacts the owner to determine the health status of the quarantined animal

  • If healthy, the file is closed. If showing evidence of rabies, the owner must contact Animal Control immediately
