At the time of the incident, St. Clair County Animal Control was notified and responded in accordance with established procedures. The dogs involved have been placed under quarantine as required by Alabama law to ensure compliance with the state’s rabies observation requirements and to protect public health.

The Margaret Police Department takes incidents involving aggressive animals seriously and will continue to work closely with St. Clair County Animal Control to ensure Alabama laws are enforced and the safety of our community remains a top priority.
