Get AZ Dog License Application - Maricopa County 2017-2024

The concern of local officials is that there may be a dog that poses a hazard to the community. Therefore, it is required by law that doctors notify them of incidences that occur so that they can follow up.

Dog attack on a person If a dog has attacked or bitten a person it should be reported to the Police immediately by calling 101 or reporting it on the Police website.

Ask them to prepare a written statement of what they saw, including describing the attack in detail, and documenting that you did not do anything to provoke the dog (if this in fact was the case). The more detail that the witness can provide, the better. The witness should also sign and date the witness statement.

Reporting allows the local public health authority to investigate whether the biting animal may have transmitted rabies to the bite victim.

In Arizona, dogs do not get "one free bite;" owners are held strictly liable for injuries caused by their dogs' actions and liability is imposed without regard to an owner's knowledge of the dog's viciousness.

Will the Dog be Quarantined? Yes, per state statute, the dog must be quarantined for a period of ten (10) days starting from the date of the bite to a person.

Make sure to measure length and depth of the wound and classify it. Classification categories include abrasion, puncture, laceration, avulsion, or crush. Include the amount of devitalized tissue, which helps give an idea as to the extent of injury.
