I am unfamiliar with the laws concerning dogs here. Is rabies a non issue? Elsewhere, if a loose dog bites somebody, Animal Control "arrests" the dog and it's 7 days lockdown to see if it displays signs of rabies if no record of the rabies vaccine is shown. After 7 days, the owner has to have the dog inoculated for rabies with the vaccine, and if owner unable, it's bye bye for the dog, as well as bye bye if rabies is evident during the quarantine period.

Hawaii has no rabies, that is why there is quarantine when people move their pets here from the mainland, to keep Hawaii rabies free.
