Kalina. In NJ if the dog has not had it's rabies and it bites someone, animal control will only quarantine 10 days at the owner's home. Atleast this is what I've been told. My son was bitten by a German Shephard who was not vaccinated and who was not licensed and by law the ER reported the bite to animal control. They were in contact with me to tell me that they would quarantine the dog to the owner's yard for 10 days, check back in 10 days and if the dog was still breathing the case would then be closed. They did not fine her for not having the dog vaccinated and they did not fine her for not having the dog licensed. Not sure what the laws are in other states.
