El Dorado County Animal Services is searching for the owners of two dogs that are connected to a dog bite incident that occurred June 15 at approximately 5pm at Cove East in South Lake Tahoe.

A man was bitten by one or two dogs as he was walking near the entrance of the California Tahoe Conservancy land near the Tahoe Keys Marina. The man encountered the two dogs fighting and attempted to break up the fight. One dog is described as a smaller shepherd mix, with black, tan and white coloring. The other dog is described as a medium-sized chocolate Lab mix, with brown coloring.

Both of the dogs had collars and were on leash with their owners when the incident occurred, however, no contact information was exchanged. The dog owners were both women.

Although the man’s injuries were minor, Animal Services would like to speak to the owners of the dogs to verify that the dogs are current on their rabies vaccinations so that the man does not have to have post-exposure rabies treatments.

Anyone with information is asked to contact Animal Services in South Lake Tahoe at (530) 573.7925.
