They are reminding Granite Staters to keep pets on a leash and supervise them outdoors, never approach or feed wild animals, and watch for signs of rabies like unusual behavior, aggression, confusion or drunk-like movements.<\/p>\n

If you see an animal showing any of those behaviors, call your local animal control.<\/p>\n
