The two dogs that attacked a woman while waiting at a school bus stop earlier this week have been picked up, a Humane Society of Yuma spokeswoman said Saturday afternoon.
"The dogs have been found and they were tagged and fully vaccinated," said Cookie Wagter, HSOY director of business administration and a media spokeswoman.
She said the dogs, both boxers, were found at large at Norma Avenue and 26th Place, not far from where they attacked Karen DeFranco Tuesday afternoon while she waited for her daughter. DeFranco suffered a dog bite to her leg, but is OK, according to her husband.
Wagter said after the dogs were found, they were picked up and taken to the victim, who identified them as the animals that attacked her. Because the dogs were tagged, HSOY then was able to contact the owner.
The dogs are now under 10 days house quarantine, she said. That's required by state law as a precaution even though they've been vaccinated, she said.
Wagter said the case has been turned over to the court system, but she didn't know if any charges will be filed.
"The big thing that helped us, is that the dogs were tagged so we were able to identify the owner, as required by law, and they were vaccinated," she said.
She also reminded dog owners that their pets are to be restrained, either in the yard or on a lease if outside the yard.
