A dog attack in Calpine, CA has led to two dogs being seized and an investigation being opened.
According to a report from Sierra County Sheriff's Office (SCSO) posted to Facebook, on Saturday, July 19 deputies were called to a report of a woman being attacked by a dog.
The woman was bitten while walking along Coates Avenue in Calpine, and she was immediately transported to the hospital for treatment of her injuries.
When deputies arrived they learned that the owner of the dog had left town. SCSO deputies contacted a friend of the owner and ended up seizing two dogs from the property, which were then brought to the Humane Society of Truckee-Tahoe.
The dogs remain there under quarantine, where they will stay while a formal vicious animal hearing is held. The owner can also voluntarily surrender them.
The SCSO says that this is only the latest in a series of incidents involving the same dogs, and that the sheriff's office has been called out to four separate complaints regarding the dogs.
SCSO are conducting an investigation into this most recent attack. They are asking that anyone with information related to the attack call them at (530) 289-3700.
