Animal Bites & Quarantine

Reporting Animal Bites

All animal bites from household pet or wild animals should be reported to Joshua Animal Services at 817-774-9450. The animal services officers will record all incidents of animal bites that occurred within city limits. It is important to know which animal caused the bite because it must be quarantined for observation.
