killed a neighbor's miniature horse.
"They pinned it in a corner and just
ripped it to shreds.” she said, adding
that the animal lived despite severe
injuries.
She added that the dogs have twice
been impounded for the state mini¬
mum 10 days after which the owner
has retrieved them.
According to O'Connor, the dogs
continue to get loose and arc believed
to responsible for the death of a neigh¬
bor's cat this past weekend Such
incidents persist despite the efforts of
animal control.
"In the meantime, the dogs arc out
causing havoc again,” O'Connor said.
"(Animal control] is doing what they
can, but they can't stop the dogs."
In Forsyth County, 14 dogs have
been classified as dangerous and 113
arc potentially dangerous, a classifi¬
cation for those that have bitten a
human or animal without provocation
but not caused serious harm
According to Waters, a dog is
labeled “dangerous” after a classifi¬
cation board reviews an incident in
which the dog has attacked another
animal or a human.
To keep the animal, the owner must
follow the requirements in the county

ordinance for dangerous dogs, he
said.
"When an animal is classified as
dangerous, they must be in a caged
area with concrete floor and a roof,”
Waters said. "That enclosed area
must be in a second enclosed area.
“If they're ever taken out of those
confinement, they must be muzzled
and be on a leash by the owner at all
times.”
According to the ordinance, the
owner must also have an insurance
policy for $50,000 for the dog and
notify animal control immediately if
the dog gets loose.
The canine can be confiscated if an
animal control officer determines the
requirements have not been met.
The sheriff's office and animal con¬
trol officers will routinely conduct
checks for compliance and patrol the
area. Waters said.
Owners of dogs determined to be
dangerous also have the option to
turn them over to the shelter rather
than abide by the requirements.
To confirm complaints, an officer
must have eyewitnesses and positive
identification. Waters said.
Seaholt, with the sheriff's office,
said dog bite cases typically rise in the
summer months because of outdoor
activity, especially with children.
"If you think a dog’s aggressive,
stay away from it," he said, adding
that parents should keep a close
watch on kids playing outdoors.
