Health officials are looking for two dogs that bit area residents during two separate incidents Saturday.
One dog bite happened in James City County, while the other occurred in York County, the Peninsula Health District wrote in two news releases.
The James City County dog bite happened on a jogging trail near Warhill High School and the sports complex, according to the news release.
Health officials said the person who was bitten was jogging on the trail around sunset when that person encountered two people and two medium-sized dogs.
The person was unable to get a “good look” at the dog but said one of them may have been black and white in color.
The other incident was in York County in the 500 block of Waller Mill Road.
Health officials said the dog who bit a person was tan in color and running loose without a leash. The dog may be a “pit bull type” dog, according to the news release.
If the dogs are not identified, the people who were bitten may need to undergo post-exposure rabies treatments.
If found, neither dog will be taken away from their owners, but will both be placed on an in-home confinement period of 10 days.
Anyone who has seen either animal or believes they may have details about the incident are asked to contact the Peninsula Health District’s Williamsburg Environmental Health at 757-603-4277.
After regular business hours, those with information should contact their local animal control office.
