Aggressive dogs were trapped by Aiken County Animal Control and Aiken Department of Public Safety officers in Hitchcock Woods on Sunday after reports of joggers being attacked.

Officers responded to South Boundary Avenue at 7:06 p.m. where the Hitchcock Woods Superintendent stated multiple dogs in the Sand River area around the Horse Show Grounds had "aggressively chased" joggers, according to reports.

The superintendent told officers the dogs had been at the area for the past few months, but this was the first report of them chasing people.

Traps were placed and two dogs were found later, police said.

Officers said the dogs were "acting aggressively," trying to bite on the traps and trying to come toward the officer, according to reports.

Neither dog was wearing a collar or had a microchip. They were transported to the Aiken SPCA, and neither dog was tested for rabies because of no known bite cases with humans or domestic animals, police said.
