Animal Resource Center Director Amy Bohardt said they're investigating the dog attack along Kensington Avenue on Feb. 22.
'We're working hard to make sure there is appropriate accountability and enforcement, in addition to preserving safety in the neighborhood,' Bohardt said.
News Center 7 obtained Ring doorbell camera footage that shows a pack of dogs going after the man.
He was hospitalized with serious injuries but was later described to be in stable condition.
Dayton police and ARC officers responded to the scene and were able to capture two of the six dogs believed to be involved.
'We have had some unsuccessful attempts, but we have had some other measures to make contact. So there has been a mixture, but we have made contact with the owner of the dogs,' Bohardt said.
She said the two dogs taken from the scene have been designated as dangerous dogs, but could not specify if they are still working to get control of the remaining four dogs.
'At this time those dogs are deemed dangerous,' Bohardt said.
Bohardt said concerns about loose dogs seem to rise when the weather warms up.
She specified that it's not just county regulations, but state law, that insists owners keep dogs controlled and confined.
'So you could be charged and face financial and other penalties,' Bohardt said.
ARC leaders ask anyone who may see the four dogs involved in the Kensington Avenue attack on the loose, to call them.
They also ask for all community members to report any loose pets. If no bites or attacks occurred, ARC strives to reunite any loose pets with owners.
