Barking Dogs
-The owner of a dog that barks excessively, or any noisy animal, may be subpoenaed to appear in a civil hearing and subject to being fined if not corrected. If talking with the owner has not solved the problem, contact Animal Control. Please provide an exact address. On the first and second complaint, Animal Control will send a letter to the owner. After the third complaint within six months, both parties will be referred to the Clark County Neighborhood Justice Center for mediation in an effort to resolve the problem. If mediation fails, you will be asked to provide a written voluntary statement detailing the complaint, including, but not necessarily limited to, documenting dates, times and duration of the excessive noise. Your statement, if possible, must be corroborated by at least one additional person who lives in the neighborhood. All persons submitting a written statement must be willing to appear in the civil hearing.
Biting Animals -
The owner of a biting animal is often civilly liable for personal injury, and depending on circumstances, can be criminally prosecuted. Animals with a history of biting may be declared dangerous, with restrictions being placed on how the animal is maintained by the owner. Animals that bite after being declared dangerous, or those that have caused serious injury may be declared vicious. Vicious animals are unlawful to keep in the city of Las Vegas, and in the State of Nevada. This means euthanasia for the animal and potential criminal charges against the owner. All bites inflicted by warm-blooded mammals must be reported to the rabies control authority, which, within the corporate city limits of Las Vegas, is the Animal Control Unit. Anyone with knowledge that an animal bite has occurred is obligated by law to report it to Animal Control. This includes the victim, medical facility or the pet owner. (Keep the rabies vaccination record for your pet handy.) Biting animals must undergo a 10-day quarantine for health observation. Animal Control would prefer to home quarantine, providing the rabies vaccination is current, and the owner can provide a secure area to keep the animal confined. If the above criteria are not met, the animal must be impounded for observation at the Animal Foundation.
