According to a report released this week, Chattooga County Animal Control Director Lindsey Momon was bitten by an aggressive dog while attempting to apprehend it on May 4, 2025. Deputies were dispatched to the Chattooga County Animal Shelter at approximately 6:38 PM following the incident. The initial call stemmed from reports of multiple dogs attacking each other at 155 Bittings Avenue, reportedly triggered by one of the dogs being in heat. Animal Control located a brown dog of unknown breed, suspected of being involved in the attacks. According to the incident report, the dog became highly aggressive while Momon and Animal Control Officer Emily Wright attempted to transport it to their truck. The dog bit Director Momon during the initial attempt to secure it. Even after the truck arrived, the animal remained agitated, biting both Momon and Wright before being contained within the truck’s cage. Following the incident, both Director Momon and Officer Wright planned to seek medical attention at a local urgent care facility after housing the dog at the Animal Control Shelter. Photos of the bite marks and the dog have been submitted as part of the official report.
